Just weeks after a judge said says Rex Heuerman "will go to trial come hell or high water," the accused serial killer pleads guilty to all seven murders for which he's charged, and an additional murder. Police arrested the prominent New York architect in connection with murders of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello, Sandra Costilla, Valerie Mack, Jessica Taylor, and Maureen Brainard-Barnes.  The 8th victim, 34-year-old Karen Vergata, was last heard from on Valentine's Day 1996. Her legs and feet were found the same year on Fire Island. Her skull was found fifteen years later near Tobay Beach in Nassau County. 

The women's remains were found along Gilgo Beach in Long Island within 500 feet of each other.  The first four victims,  dubbed the Gilgo Four, were found wrapped in burlap.  Heuermann,  originally claimed his innocent.   

Asa Ellerup, his estranged wife, filed for divorce six days after his arrest and then signed a deal  worth at least 1 million dollars to take part in a documentary series.
