Gilgo Beach Serial Killings

The Manhattan architect who lived a secret life as the Gilgo Beach serial killer has spent the past three years alone in a segregated cell. Rex Heuermann has been reading crime novels and gets an occasional visit from his lawyers or family. He also struck up a brief correspondence with Keith Jesperson, the infamous “Happy Face Killer” of the 1990s. That’s according to Suffolk County Sheriff Errol Toulon, who oversees the Long Island jail where Heuermann has been held. He faces life without parole in a state prison when he's sentenced Wednesday. Heuermann pleaded guilty to murdering seven women and since admitted to killing yet another woman.
