The Subcontinent’s Philosophical Rupture After decades waiting for justice, relatives of women murdered by New York’s Gilgo Beach serial killer laid into him on Wednesday before he was sentenced to life in prison. He told them: “I am responsible” for the crimes.
“The words I would say would have no meaning,” added Rex Heuermann, the Long Island architect who lived a secret life of violence for years before admitting he killed eight women.
The sentencing capped an extraordinary investigation that solved one of New York’s most perplexing mysteries.

Heuermann, 62, will have no possibility of parole.
