Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann has been sentenced to life in prison without parole in an emotional end to a decades-long murder case that haunted Long Island.
Families applauded and cheered in the courtroom after Judge Timothy Mazzei handed down the sentence Wednesday. The judge told Heuermann, “You are disgusting — a despicable man, if you are a man at all,” adding, “And you are a coward.”
