The son of a Gilgo Beach murder victim filed a wrongful death lawsuit against suspected serial killer Rex Heuermann, his wife, and daughter — just days before he’s expected to plead guilty to viciously murdering seven women. The wrongful death suit filed on Monday by attorney John Ray on behalf of Benjamin Torres, the only child of murder victim Valerie Mack, marks the first known litigation brought by a Gilgo victim’s family member against the 62-year-old accused killer from Massapequa Park, Newsday reported. The suit alleged that Torres’s loss of his mother — whom Heuermann allegedly murdered some time between September 1, 2000, and November 19, 2000 — deprived him of her care and protection, according to the filing in the State Supreme Court in Suffolk County obtained by Patch.
