The suspected Gilgo Beach killer has been charged in yet another slaying, bringing the total up to seven women, prosecutors said. Rex Heuermann, 61, was set to appear before a court in Riverhead at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday to be indicted on a murder charge in the death of Valerie Mack in November 2000, according to ABC News, citing law enforcement sources. Prosecutors said that, like the other alleged victims of Heuermann, Mack was involved in sex work. Her remains were discovered in Manorville and Gilgo Beach, Long Island, New York. Mack’s remains were found alongside those of Jessica Taylor in 2000 and 2003. Their remains were dismembered, mixed, and scattered along a road in Manorville and at Gilgo Beach. The architect is accused of a series of murders in the area from the early 1990s to 2011. Prosecutors named him a suspect in the latest death in June, based on evidence allegedly found on an electronic device seized from his home in Massapequa Park on Long Island. He pleaded not guilty to previous charges linked to the other six deaths.
