Gilgo Beach suspect Rex Heuermann charged in two more murders, alleged crimes now date back to 1993 – Finger Lakes Daily News

(NEW YORK) – Gilgo Beach suspect Rex Heuermann has been charged with two additional murders and is now accused of killing six women dating back to 1993, according to a court document released Thursday.

Heuermann is charged with the 2003 murder of Jessica Taylor, whose remains were found on Long Island in Gilgo Beach and Manorville, and charged with the 1993 murder of Sandra Costilla, whose remains were found in the North Sea in Long Island, in 1993, according to court documents.

These developments significantly extend the timeline of the Gilgo Beach case.

Investigators searched Heuermann's Long Island home as recently as May. Authorities also searched a wooded area in Manorville on Long Island in April as part of the investigation, according to law enforcement sources.

Heuermann, an architect and father, was arrested in July and initially charged with the murder of three escorts: Megan Waterman, Amber Costello and Melissa Barthelemy. He was charged in January with the murder of a fourth escort, Maureen Brainard-Barnes.

The remains of the four women were found in 2010 in desolate locations along the ocean near Gilgo Beach. Six other sets of remains were also discovered in the area.

Heuermann has pleaded not guilty to all four murders.
