Mother Of Gilgo Beach Victim Hopes Rex Heuermann ‘Suffers’ In Prison

While Heuermann has only been charged with three murders, the families of other victims found at Gilgo Beach believe that their killer may have also been captured.

Sherre Gilbert, the sister of victim Shannan Gilbert, whose remains were found in 2011, expressed being “overwhelmed” by the news.

“It’s been a long time coming, and I never gave up hope that one day justice would be served,” she said in a statement to NBC News.

“The Suspect deserves to rot in prison for the rest of his life,” she continued. “He destroyed many lives, so while it won’t bring our loved ones back, it does help that one less monster is off the streets, and he can’t ever hurt anyone else.”
