Last Wednesday (June 17) Rex Heuermann was sentenced to life in prison without parole after admitting to taking the lives of eight women across Long Island between 1993 and 2010.
The 62-year-old Manhattan architect had spent decades hiding in plain sight in Massapequa Park, a suburban village about 20 minutes from Gilgo Beach.
He worked in New York City, lived in the same house where he grew up, raised a family, kept a massive private weapons collection, and, according to prosecutors, used his home as the center of a calculated homicide operation.
