Accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann will face a seventh murder charge for the death of Valerie Mack in November 2000, as per police sources informed The Post on Tuesday.
The parents of Mack, whose remains were discovered in Gilgo Beach and Manorville, are anticipated to appear in court Tuesday morning during Heuermann’s arraignment for the new charge.
Mack, also known as Melissa Taylor, was employed as an escort in Philadelphia when she disappeared. She was last seen by her family in the vicinity of Port Republic, New Jersey, at the age of 24, according to police reports.
In the same year she went missing, some of her unidentified remains were found in a wooded area in Manorville. The remaining parts of her body were found 11 years later near Gilgo Beach, alongside the remains of other female victims believed to have been targeted by Heuermann.
Prosecutors identified Heuermann, 60, as a suspect in Mack’s death in June based on evidence, including detailed notes about serial killings seized from his Massapequa Park residence.
Heuermann, a New York City architect and father of two, pleaded not guilty to charges related to the murders of six women whose remains were found near Gilgo Beach and other parts of eastern Long Island.
