‎On June 2, 2007, the body of 36-year-old Hugues de la Plaza was found in his locked San Francisco apartment. He had been stabbed in the neck, chest and stomach. His apartment was covered in blood, and the scene seemed to have all the characteristics of a homicide, but there was no sign of a struggle, no sign of anyone else’s DNA at the scene, and no image of an assailant on nearby security cameras.

Long Island Serial Killer suspect Rex Heuermann was charged with six murders as of June 2024. In August 2023, accused Gilgo Beach killer Rex A. Heuermann stood before Judge Timothy P. Mazzei in Suffolk County Court.

After years of investigation, he was charged with multiple counts of murder relating to the deaths of Megan Waterman, Melissa Barthelemy, Amber Costello, and Maureen Brainard-Barnes.

Additional charges were later added for the murders of Sandra Costilla and Jessica Taylor dating back to 1993 and 2003.

Authorities gathered evidence through DNA and digital traces, ultimately leading to Heuermann's arrest. He awaits trial in jail at the Riverhead Correctional Facility.

The timeline of the Gilgo Beach serial killings reveals a sinister pattern of crimes.

Robert Cooley, 25, was arrested for the murder of his wife, 26-year-old Amber Morgan.

Police found Morgan dead in their Indianapolis home with gunshot wounds.

Cooley admitted to beating and shooting her during questioning.

The couple had ongoing domestic issues, and Morgan had asked her mother for help with a divorce the day before she was killed.

Cooley will face charges determined by the Marion County Prosecutor's Office.

Victory College Prep, where Morgan worked, confirmed her death and expressed condolences.

The incident prompted a response from the Indiana Department of Child Services.
