GILGO BEACH MONSTER SET TO CONFESS TO 8 KILLINGS
(NewsNation) — Rex Heuermann is expected to plead guilty Wednesday to a string of killings on Long Island, and the charges are expected to include an additional victim, sources told NewsNation.
The additional victim would be the eighth in a series of deaths known as the Gilgo Beach killings.
Heuermann was set to go to trial in September, facing murder charges in the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Amber Lynn Costello, Sandra Costilla, Valerie Mack, Jessica Taylor and Megan Waterman.
Accused Gilgo Beach killer Rex Heuermann is expected to make a stunning courtroom move Wednesday and plead guilty to a string of Long Island murders, sources told NewsNation — and the bombshell deal is expected to add an eighth victim to the grisly case. If accepted by a judge, the plea would effectively lock in life without parole for the man who was headed to trial in September on murder charges tied to Melissa Barthelemy, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Amber Lynn Costello, Sandra Costilla, Valerie Mack, Jessica Taylor and Megan Waterman. The additional alleged victim has not yet been named, but the case has already haunted Long Island for years, with the “Gilgo Four” found on Gilgo Beach in 2010 and more remains discovered there in 2011, while Costilla’s body was found elsewhere on Long Island.

Chester Burton "Chet" Atkins, Mister Guitar (1924)June 20, 2026
Atkins got his first guitar by making a trade with his brother, and it was arguably the best deal he ever made. Although he struggled with shyness and suffered from severe asthma—he had to sleep sitting up and often fell asleep still holding his guitar—he became an accomplished guitarist and went on to release several hit records, develop a signature line of guitars, and help create country music's "Nashville sound." What did "Mr. Guitar," as he came to be known, trade to get that first guitar?

West Virginia Day is a state holiday in West Virginia to celebrate its joining the Union in 1863 as the 35th state. The creation of the state was a result of the Civil War.

The vast majority of tea sold in the West is black tea, made from fermented leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Generally stronger in flavor and more caffeinated than the green and oolong varieties, black tea retains its flavor for several years and has long been an article of trade, serving as a form of currency into the 19th century in what countries?
