Five women who reported meeting Rex Heuermann years before his capture have spoken out about their terror, with some saying they barely survived with their lives. Four people were charged with murdering four women who were wrapped in burlap and buried along the south shore of Long Island's South Shore more than a decade ago. He has not pleaded not guilty. Shannan Gilbert, a fifth woman, was also discovered dead nearby, but no one has been charged with her murder. On Tuesday, John Ray, the attorney for Gilbert's family, hosted a symposium on the Gilgo case at St. John's University, where he introduced witnesses who had all been granted sworn affidavits describing their suspected encounters with Heuerman.
