The accused Gilgo Beach killer is expected to plead guilty. Will he speak at last?

"Rex Heuermann, 62, faces charges for the murder of seven women, many of them sex workers, over a 17-year span. He is expected to plead guilty on Wednesday, which would put him in prison for the rest of his life."

"The expected plea would avert a September trial and culminate a 15-year investigation that captivated New Yorkers and the country starting in late 2010."

"Investigators used DNA analysis and other evidence to identify victims. In some cases, they were able to connect them to remains found elsewhere on Long Island."

Rex Heuermann, 62, is anticipated to plead guilty to the murders of seven women, many of whom were sex workers, over a 17-year period. He will also admit to an eighth murder, the 1996 killing of Karen Vergata. This plea is expected to conclude a 15-year investigation that began in 2010 when human remains were discovered along a Long Island beach highway. The case has drawn significant public interest and involved DNA evidence that helped identify victims and connect them to the remains.
