ABC News - Stunning details emerge in new charges against Gilgo Beach killer Rex Heuermann

Rex Hurman has been charged with the murder of Valerie Mack, whose remains were found in New York. Prosecutors presented evidence including articles about the Long Island serial killer found in Hurman's home, a hair matching his wife and daughter, and violent pornography similar to the crime scenes. A document from 2000 allegedly used by Hurman to plan murders was also found. The defense challenges the DNA evidence, questioning the techniques used and suggesting the items could be collected out of curiosity rather than guilt. They are considering separating charges to create reasonable doubt by focusing on individual cases rather than the collective number of victims.

Key Points:

  • Rex Hurman charged with seventh murder related to Long Island serial killings.
  • Evidence includes DNA, personal items, and violent pornography.
