Architect to Plead Guilty in Long Island Gilgo Beach Murders

0:00It's March 27, Canada news today starts now, AI powered and ready, I'm Corey, with the story. Rex Hyermann, the 62-year-old architect charged with killing seven women in the Long Island Gilgo Beach murders, plans to plead guilty next month. He said to change his not guilty plea at a court hearing on April 8, according to sources familiar with the case. This development comes after his arrest in July 2023. Prosecutors had strong evidence like DNA matches, cell phone records, and items from his Massa Peak will park home, tying him to the victims who were found. A long-ocean parkway, starting in 2010. Families of the victims and Hyermann's own relatives have already been notified. Officials including the Suffolk County District Attorney have stayed quiet so far, while the suspects lawyers haven't commented. Investigators zeroed in on him in 2022, using a witness report of his pickup truck. DNA from a discarded pizza crust matching a hair on. One victim, and computer files that look like planning checklists for the crimes.
