>> a heartbreaking embrace as the family, shattered by a serial killer, acknowledge a new addition. >> they want justice for those who were murdered and who were buried at gilgo beach. there can be no healing without justice. >> today, prosecutors announced a seventh murder victim in the gilgo beach serial killer case. valerie mack, a 24 year old mother brutally murdered back in the year 2000. >> the evidence is we have mitochondrial dna from a hair that was found on the body of valerie mack. >> there were charges in the case of valerie mack, and these have been long anticipated. we've been hearing for months and months that charges were going to be handed down in her case. >> did you do it? >> rex sherman now stands accused of killing seven women and dumping their bodies on long island over the course of more than two decades, charges he denies. how gratifying was it to be able to tell valerie mack's mom and dad that you've made this definitive link to rex

sherman? >> yeah, i think, you know, i think we've been we've been saying this all along that this is really what the case is about. the case is about these women. >> it is a big deal not just to have someone who is accused of one of the crimes associated with the gilgo beach murders, but to have someone connected with seven of the alleged victims is massive. >> inside the courtroom, a suited and shackled sherman spoke directly to the judge, saying, your honor, i am not guilty of any of these charges. >> his voice is just not what you expect to come from a body as imposing and massive. it was more nasally and higher pitched than i expected it to be. and there was a visceral reaction to what he was saying. there was scoffing. >> but prosecutors argue they have the evidence. they say mack fit the profile of the other victims, young and small, just five feet tall, with a history of sex work. in 2000, not long after she went missing, a trio of hunters found a decapitated body dubbed jane doe number 6 in 2011. the rest of her remains

were found in a different location. it would take until 2020, before investigators could announce a dna match to mack. >> now, along with her remains were a key piece of evidence that prosecutors say they have that connects rex sherman to this homicide. they said they found a strand of hair that matches to rex sherman's wife and daughter, similar to another victim that was found as well. >> prosecutors say they used mitochondrial dna to make that link. the hair was found inside one of the sealed trash bags that held mack's body. they believe that came from inside huberman's house, where they say he committed the murders. new documents show dna testing connected at least six victims to heuermann, either directly or through hairs from his wife or daughter. they also say they used evidence recovered from the 350 electronic devices investigators seized from huberman's home, including a significant collection of violent bondage and torture pornography. officials say some of the images of tied up women and mutilation are consistent

with mack's injuries. >> so today we learned that law enforcement believes that rex heuermann is collecting mementos in the form of magazines that covered the case, or did large spreads on the case, newspaper clippings even as far back as 1993 with the first victim he's been accused of. and really, i think this idea that he's obsessed with himself really goes to the kind of alleged criminal we're dealing with when it comes to the psychology of an alleged serial killer. >> having souvenirs of past murders is very common. >> investigators say they also found a document that prosecutors believe he used to plan out his kills, which was created the same year that mack disappeared. that included a section labeled d is what prosecutors believe stands for dump site. mack's remains were found at one of those locations. huberman's defense team says it's focused on the evidence attacking the dna matches and pointing out that no direct dna has been found at his home. >> they went through that house

and that property with a fine tooth comb. they dug up the backyard, they went into walls. they went into pipes. they went under the cement foundation. and they have yet to show anyone, any evidence in that home. >> the coverage of this case continues to seduce and intrigue the public. and really, i think it's just this continually mounting mystery that no one can really get enough of. >> for years, communities across long island lived in fear for bodies and counting. >> police are worried they have a serial killer on the loose. >> after four bodies wrapped in burlap were dumped in a marshy area along this long island beach in 2010. the bodies were all found within a quarter mile of each other. they became known as the gilgo beach murders. >> everyone's going to have to go. >> the killer remained on the loose until last year, when he was arrested outside of his manhattan office and charged with the murders of the so-called gilgo four. >> rex sherman is a demon that walks among us.

>> prosecutors say he went undetected for so long, in part because he lived a double life. the public saw a father of two, an architect who commuted into new york city, an architectural consultant. >> i'm a troubleshooter. born and raised on long island, he even appeared in this youtube video more than two years ago, around the time investigators began to suspect he could be the killer. >> this is an individual who was a professional. he has no prior criminal history. he was used to getting on a train in the morning, going to work, supporting his family and coming home at night. >> this past summer, prosecutors released a chilling document that they say includes sickening instructions. he wrote to himself. hit harder. use heavy rope. get sleep before hunt. remove marks from torture. all included in what prosecutors are calling a blueprint for murder. over the summer, prosecutors added the fifth and sixth murder charges after an exhaustive search of sherman's home in massapequa park on long island. >> i can't express what this day

means. after waiting and hoping for answers. >> victim jessica taylor was a sex worker who disappeared in 2003. >> this year has been 21 years since she was taken from us. longer than the chance that she got to be alive. >> valerie mack's body was found not far from taylor's, who was also decapitated. this may not be the end of new charges against sherman, with one of the crimes taking place more than 30 years ago. prosecutors are now broadening their timeline, reexamining more accounts of missing women. how many more victims do you think you're going to be able to do? >> you know, unfortunately, we have a lot of unsolved cases. and through our cold case unit where we're working on those cases. so whether they're related to this case or not, we're just going to keep plugging along one case at a time. >> he has pleaded not guilty to all the charges. >> i know that the district attorney is trying to put closure to these victims. what prosecutors like to do often is

kind of bootstrap, use one case to bootstrap another case. >> the bodies of the other five victims have been identified as melissa bartholomay, amber costello, maureen brainard barnes, sandra castillo, and megan waterman. >> she didn't deserve this, just like nobody else's mother or sister or daughter deserves this. she really was a fabulous person. just lost in life. >> for now, rex sherman remains behind bars awaiting trial. the next step will be a hearing about the dna evidence key for the defense. >> his goal with that is to get the dna evidence completely thrown out, which would be very problematic for the prosecution. >> i know he's extremely frustrated. he has said from day one he is not responsible for these murders. he is from day one. he wanted his day in court. >> the fascination of the gilgo beach serial killer comes from many aspects, with all the twists and turns of a high profile movie, people are gravitating to this story to get the answers that they've longed for so many years.

>> welcome back. have you been doing any holiday shopping at tj maxx or home goods? you might have seen those cute little mugs with the simple words on them. or maybe you haven't because a hardcore collector already snapped them off the shelves the minute the store opened. >> so right now the display that

i have is my christmas display. i use the classic red and white for marie andrews. >> her pottery collection is part of her signature style. >> i always say that my collection is my baby like. i genuinely love collecting. >> the pharmacist and mother of two has pieces for entertaining and displaying an endless mugs. >> you know, when i finally get my hands on something and i'm like, okay, i never thought i would own this piece. it's rewarding when i'm decorating in general, i can just kind of escape. >> but this isn't just any pottery line, it's right on pottery, which has gained a cult following. >> i think what most people don't realize is that that lettering that is on most of my work that long writing is actually my handwriting. >> and while social media is inundated with hashtags and posts of shoppers showing off their latest raid on hauls and dazzling displays, it's rae dunn

day for andrews. it's not just a cup or a cookie jar, it's a feeling she gets from rae dunn. signature pieces. >> all right, how am i feeling today? i'm going to pick it out and, you know, choose that mug. so i try to make it fun at least. >> but for others, these highly coveted collector's items are an opportunity to turn a profit. >> it's pottery. it's kind of crazy that it could elicit such a response, but i don't like it. >> they want their money's worth because they know that they could resell it. for example, at 12.99, an item could resell for $300. >> this farmhouse canister originally sold for 7.99, now listed on a popular resale site for 18 times the original cost. reports of some resellers allegedly attacking sales associates began surfacing. >> that kind of gave us collectors a bad name, and i felt like they were just doing it, you know, for money at that

point in time, alyssa retana says she saw some of the insanity when she worked at a home goods store in california several years ago. >> in the mornings, the raiding shoppers would wait outside the store, probably 30 to an hour before we opened. right when we opened the doors, they would fast walk their way to where the raid ten is at, and they will get physical with each other. >> this document circulating online, claiming to be guidance for department store employees on how to deal with dangerous raid on customers, including a warning that police may have to be called. in a statement to nightline, the parent company of home goods said in part, the safety and security of our associates and customers is very important to us. we have many policies and procedures in place that are designed to support our associates and help promote a welcoming store environment for everyone. >> i don't think it's worth all the aggression and people fighting over for less than $25. >> don't do that. reports of

aggressive raid on shoppers seems to have quieted down in recent years, and raider herself says all the noise around her pieces was never her intention. >> this was one of the first things that i ever made, you know, i was just doing what i love stamping a word into the clay, one letter at a time. it was a way for me to communicate something to the world. >> another signature feature, ray dunn's early pottery, was its intentional imperfections. >> i've always loved imperfect things in objects and in people. i remember having instructors who would try and get me to smooth out the clay, and i would say, i want it to look like a person made it, and not a machine. >> tom mirabelli, consumer trends expert, says those so-called flaws were part of the mass appeal. >> you get the sense immediately that her product isn't. it's not fussy. it's not perfect. >> there's always been the must have item, the one that creates

shopper chaos like stanley cups and the cabbage patch kid dolls in the 80s and beanie babies in the 90s. when ray dunn licensed her work to magenta inc 20 years ago, who partnered with tj maxx, marshalls and homegoods, she started a chain reaction that would allow her brand to pack a wallop. >> i was making every single thing by hand, and i was working like 15, 18 hours a day, like nonstop. i couldn't keep up. i never intended it to be a brand. my goal was to be able to pay my rent every month. >> her brand getting a boost in the early 220 tens, around the same time people embraced the simple, modern farmhouse style and the words on the wall look made popular by shows like joanna and chip gaines fixer upper. >> i wanted to feel like home, and i wanted to have a story. >> ray dunn took phrases like live, laugh, love and fry exploding in popularity and combined it with her own unique style, her art expressing the

voice, she says she always struggled to find. >> i come from a family with five kids. i always felt unheard and unseen, and i was and am painfully shy and quiet. i created my own little world where it was safe and i did what i wanted to do, and i was never trying to get attention from anyone, and i was never trying to please anyone. >> what strikes me about ray dunn product is that i can pick up a bowl that says, think okay, and it means something completely different to me than it means to you. the versatility of sentiment is very important. >> usually when you pick up older items, they'll have different stamps on the bottom. >> marie andrews has become what's known as a vintage ray dunn collector, focusing on pieces from dunn's early days, some of them handmade. >> originally when the ray dunn

brand exploded or became popular, it was known for like dimples. as you transition over to newer items, you start to see they're just smooth. a vintage collector, you're finding items that you can't find in the store. >> when marie posted this photo of her carefully curated collection, dunn herself reposted it. >> from 2017 to now, i've collected so many gems, so who knows what i'll find in five years. >> marie's social media page caught the attention of popular magazine good housekeeping back in 2017. >> hi, my name is marie and i am the face behind simply andrews. >> on instagram, she showcased her pieces on their youtube. >> my most expensive item has probably been this canister. >> i don't know what life would be like without collecting. i always say like somebody probably has a handmade plate at their home and they don't even know the value. and somebody like myself is like, do you know what that is?

>> i love that people respond to my work. i like to think that they use my work to tell their own story and create their own narrative. i don't know where this journey will take me, but so far i have been far beyond what i could have ever imagined. >> when we come back. beyonce is irreplaceable and just set another record, this one with another record, this one with 103 parts. don't you ever for a (♪) (♪) bounce back fast from heartburn with tums gummy bites, and love food back.
