Rex Heuermann, Long Island-based serial killer, sentenced to life in prison

Rex Heuermann, a New York architect who murdered women for at least 17 years until police realized their deaths were the work of a serial killer, was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison without parole.

The sentencing caps an extraordinary investigation that solved one of New York's most perplexing mysteries — one that began as a series of seemingly unconnected and largely unmarked disappearances of young sex workers. Over time, it became the focus of true-crime documentaries, books and podcasts after police began discovering the victims' skeletal remains along a coastal parkway near Long Island's Gilgo Beach.

"Are you at least a little sorry?" Judge Timothy Mazzei asked him Wednesday in a loud, indignant voice.

Heuermann nodded and appeared to mouth: "Yes."

"You are disgusting — a despicable man, if you are a man at all," the judge said, his voice rising. "And you are a coward."

As Heuermann was led away in handcuffs, spectators in the packed courtroom seemed to jeer.

Heuermann, 62, pleaded guilty in April to charges that he murdered seven women: Barthelemy, Taylor, Valerie Mack, Megan Waterman, Amber Lynn Costello, Maureen Brainard-Barnes and Sandra Costilla.

Heuermann also admitted in court to killing an eighth victim, Karen Vergata, although he was never charged in her death. He said he strangled his victims and dismembered some of their bodies.

After decades waiting for justice, relatives of the slain women laid into him Wednesday.

"Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul-all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair." -Oliver Kornetzke
