The Gilgo Beach monster: Letters to the Editor — April 13, 2026

The Issue: Rex Heuermann’s guilty plea for the murder of eight woman as the Gilgo Beach serial killer.

Rex Heuermann confessed to murder by strangulation of eight young women (“A monster’s confession,” April 9).

Sadly, these young ladies trusted him. If ever there was ever an illustration of the need for the death penalty in New York, it’s right in front of everyone’s eyes.

I’m sorry, but Heuermann does not deserve to be able to continue his life while his victims forever cannot.

The New York Times' hate-filled agenda drags on

I respectfully request the judge assign Heuermann an author to write this story out in book form. Then any profits from the book deal should be put into a fund to be split amongst the eight families of the victims.

This is a terrible situation, and as the FBI conducts its full inquiry, I hope investigators ask themselves what we can learn from this tragedy, and how we can better teach women to defend themselves.

The “monster” deserved........
