Accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann will be charged with a seventh murder — the November 2000 death of Valerie Mack, police sources told The Post Tuesday.

The parents of Mack, whose remains were found in Gilgo Beach and Manorville, are expected in court Tuesday morning when Heuermann is arraigned on the new charge.

Mack, who also went by Melissa Taylor, worked as an escort in Philadelphia when she went missing. She was last seen by her family in the area of Port Republic, New Jersey, when she was 24 years old, police previously said. 

In the year she went missing, some of her then-unidentified remains were found in a wooded area in Manorville. The rest of her remains were found 11 years later near Gilgo Beach, along with the remains of other female victims authorities believe were also targeted by Heuermann. 

Prosecutors named Heuermann, 60, as a suspect in Mack’s death in June based on evidence, including detailed notes about serial killings that were seized from his Massapequa Park home.

Heuermann, a New York City architect and father of two, pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from the murders of six women whose remains were discovered near Gilgo Beach and other parts of eastern Long Island.
