LONG ISLAND (PIX11) – The daughter of Rex Heuermann announced through her lawyer on Tuesday afternoon that her father, ‘most likely,’ is the alleged Gilgo Beach killer.
Heuermann’s daughter, Victoria, states that after reviewing the information and having it explained to her, she was able to process it and form her own opinion that her father is most likely the Gilgo Beach serial killer.
Bob Macedino, the family’s lawyer, also noted that Asa (Heuermann’s wife), on the other hand, believes that Rex, the father of her children and her ex-husband of 27 years, is incapable of committing these horrific acts.
