Gilgo Beach, Finally: Rex Heuermann Sentenced to Life Without Parole as 8 Families Face Him

Garret Fisher closes the book on Gilgo Beach. After nearly three years of silence, Rex Heuermann — the 62-year-old Long Island architect who murdered eight women between 1993 and 2010 — was sentenced Wednesday in a Suffolk County courtroom to three consecutive life sentences without parole, followed by four more consecutive terms of 25 years to life. There is no parole anywhere in the sentence; he will die in prison. Judge Timothy Mazzei called him "a disgusting and small man," and District Attorney Ray Tierney dismissed his remorse as self-serving — "he is very sorry he got caught." But the day belonged to the families of Sandra Costilla, Valerie Mack, Jessica Taylor, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Amber Costello, and Karen Vergata, who one by one stood and took the courtroom away from the man who tried to make them invisible. Heuermann spoke for about ten seconds; the families spoke for all eight women. This episode covers the sentence, the prosecution's "shopping list for murder" planning document, and the victim-impact statements that gave these women back their voices.
