Victim family member says Son of Sam laws failed to protect Heuermann's victims
As she wrapped up her statement, Meserve questioned the sale of memorabilia, saying Son of Sam laws have failed to protect the victims in this case. She is asking the State Legislature to approve a bill aimed at closing loopholes in that law.
Meserve also said she hopes the unidentified male at Gilgo Beach is identified soon, and called for answers in the death of Shannan Gilbert.
She said she will no longer think of Heuermann.
"Begone cowardly demon," she said as she walked off.
