Transcript of New murder charge against suspect in Gilgo Beach killings

The work of the Gilgo task force is ongoing and continuing.

The suspected Gilgo Beach serial killer back in court in New York and facing another murder charge, accused of killing Valerie Mack more than 2 decades ago. The 24 year old New Jersey native was a mom and involved in sex work. Her parents today embracing other victims' families.

The lives of these women, matter. Obviously, no 1 understands it more than than the families.

Rex Youerman has now been charged in the murders of 7 women, which went unsolved for years. 6 of those victims are forensically tied to the 60 year old through hair according to prosecutors. They say a strand found on Mac matches the DNA profile of the suspect's wife and daughter who was just 3 or 4 at the time of Mac's death. Huhrman, an architect, was first arrested in July of 2023 after prosecutors say DNA on a pizza crust he threw out helped link him to 1 of the Gilgo Beach victims. He's pleaded not guilty to all charges.

He has said from day 1 he is not for these murders.

Prosecutors today pointing to a document they believe Herman used to methodically blueprint and plan out his kills. 1 section lists Mill Road as a DS, which prosecutors say stands for dumpsite. That's where police found some of Mac's remains in 2,000. Prosecutors also alleging Huberman kept these magazines and newspapers covering the murders as souvenirs or mementos of his crime. Now part of an investigation they say is far from over.
