Prosecutors filed another murder charge Tuesday against the man accused of being the Gilgo Beach serial killer, bringing the number of alleged victims to seven, all women slain near New York City.
A hair linked to the wife or daughter of suspect Rex Heuermann was found near the left wrist of 24-year-old victim Valerie Mack, according to court documents.
He’s now been formally accused of murdering Mack, who worked as an escort before her skeletal remains were found in November 2000.
The charge connected to Mack comes after Heuermann was accused by Suffolk County prosecutors of murdering Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Amber Costello, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Sandra Costilla and Jessica Taylor.
Heuermann, a New York City architect, was arrested in July 2023 and initially indicted in connection with the slayings of Barthelemy, Waterman and Costello.
