Suspected Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann and his estranged wife reached a divorce settlement this week as proceedings began to determine if DNA evidence should be admissible in the former architect’s upcoming murder trial.
Heuermann, now 61, was arrested in July 2023 outside his New York City office as part of an investigation police had been working on since 2010 into the deaths of at least 10 people — mostly female sex workers — whose remains were discovered along an isolated highway near Gilgo Beach on Long Island. He has been charged with the murders of seven women.
