TL;DR Summary

The Gilgo Beach victims, who were found murdered over a decade ago, were initially reduced to being labeled as prostitutes. However, a recent breakthrough in the investigation has led to an arrest, changing the narrative surrounding these women. The victims' families have long fought against the dehumanizing portrayal of their loved ones and are relieved to see a shift in how the media and law enforcement refer to them. The arrest of Rex Heuermann, who lived in plain sight near where the bodies were found, highlights the disregard for these women and the need for society to recognize their worth.
