"Rex Heuermann, 62, is set to change his plea at an appearance in Suffolk County Court on Wednesday in connection with the murders that occurred over a 17-year period."
"Authorities say that between 2010 and 2011, a total of 11 sets of human remains, most of which belonged to sex workers, were found along a beachside parkway in Gilgo Beach."
"Heuermann was initially charged in the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, 24, Megan Waterman, 22, and Amber Costello, 27, who disappeared in 2009 and 2010."
"All three women were among the 'Gilgo Four,' or a group of sex workers whose bodies were found in Gilgo Beach in 2010, bound at the head, midsection and legs by burlap."
Rex Heuermann, a former architect, is anticipated to change his plea in Suffolk County Court regarding the murders of seven women over 17 years. Heuermann was initially charged with the deaths of three women from the 'Gilgo Four' group, whose bodies were discovered in 2010. The plea change comes just months before his trial, where he faced life imprisonment without parole if convicted. Authorities found 11 sets of human remains in Gilgo Beach, primarily belonging to sex workers, and do not believe all killings are connected.
