Last week, on April 8, after a protracted investigation hampered by missteps and institutional corruption, the Long Island serial killer case finally reached a disturbing conclusion. Rex Heuermann, a 62-year-old architect and married father of two from Massapequa Park, admitted in court to strangling eight women who had disappeared as early as 1993. His sentencing is scheduled for June 17, and he is expected to spend the rest of his life in prison.
