Overview
- Heuermann, who pleaded guilty Wednesday in New York state court, admitted killing seven women and, according to the New York Times, an eighth victim not previously charged.
- The 62-year-old architect now faces the prospect of life in prison under New York law.
- Investigators linked him to multiple victims through a vehicle registered to him, extensive cellphone records, and new DNA tests that matched hairs found on bodies.
- Police found 11 sets of remains along a Long Island parkway in 2010, including nine women, one man, and one girl, with many of the women identified as sex workers.
- With eight murders now attributed to Heuermann, three of the original cases remain unresolved as detectives continue to pursue new leads and prepare for sentencing.
