Architect Pleads Guilty in Gilgo Beach Murders

0:00On March 27, Rex Hirman, the 61-year-old architect accused in the Gilgo Beach murders, is expected to plead guilty to killing seven women. Sources say a deal is in the works, shifting away from his planned trial next month in Suffolk County. Heremin has been in custody since his arrest in July 2023. He originally pleaded not guilty to charges involving the deaths of Amber Lynn Costello, Megan Waterman, Melissa Barthellamy, Marine Brainard, Barnes, Sandra Castilla, Jessica Taylor, and Valerie Mack. Relatives of the victims have been told to expect the plea next month. Most of these women worked in sex work, and their remains turned up along a remote parkway near Gilgo Beach, close to Hugherman's home in Massapiqua, Park. The case dates back to 2010, when police found 10 sets of remains while searching for a missing person. DNA and other evidence eventually pointed to Hugherman, with killings linked as far back as 1993. Details on the exact charges or plea terms remain unclear as negotiations continue, but this
