Rex Heuermann to Plead Guilty in Gilgo Beach Serial Killings

Rex Heuermann, accused in the Gilgo Beach serial killings, is expected to plead guilty to seven murders committed between 1993 and 2010. The case, which involved the discovery of multiple bodies on Long Island, was solved after a 2022 task force used DNA evidence and digital records to arrest Heuermann in July 2023. A guilty plea would result in a life sentence without parole, concluding a high-profile case that frustrated investigators for over a decade. The investigation began with Shannan Gilbert's 2010 disappearance, leading to the recovery of numerous remains. Victims' families anticipate justice after years of advocacy, while a related lawsuit has been initiated against Heuermann's family.

Trump Iran Threat: 'Civilization Will Die' Over Hormuz Deadline

President Donald Trump issued a threat to Iran via social media, stating that "an entire civilization will die tonight" if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened by a Tuesday deadline. The threat follows previous warnings about destroying Iran's civil infrastructure, including power plants. The White House has downplayed concerns about potential war crimes, but international law experts caution that attacks on civilian infrastructure may violate laws of war if disproportionate or lacking military necessity. This escalation heightens tensions between the U.S. and Iran, with implications for regional security and global shipping through the strategic strait. Trump's deadlines have been inconsistent, adding uncertainty to the situation. The incident underscores the fragile state of U.S.-Iran relations and the risks of miscalculation.
