- On April 8, accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann is expected to change his plea to guilty, according to sources familiar with the case.

- Suffolk County Judge Timothy Mazzei ruled that all seven murder charges will be handled in one consolidated trial, previously set to begin in September.
- The expected plea marks conclusion to an investigation utilizing more than 300 subpoenas and search warrants, resolving a case spanning over two decades across Long Island.
