Disturbing New Details Emerge in Gilgo Beach Serial Killings: Rex Heuermann Charged with Two Additional Murders

Disturbing New Details Emerge in Gilgo Beach Serial Killings: Rex Heuermann Charged with Two Additional Murders

In a significant development in the Gilgo Beach serial killings case, suspect Rex Heuermann was charged Thursday with the murders of two additional women, Jessica Taylor and Sandra Costilla. This brings the total number of his alleged killings to six. The charges, announced by Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney, extend the timeline of Heuermann’s alleged criminal activities, with the first murder now dated back to 1993.

According to court documents, Heuermann was charged with the 2003 murder of Jessica Taylor, whose remains were discovered in Gilgo Beach and Manorville, and accused of the 1993 murder of Sandra Costilla, whose remains were found in North Sea, Long Island. "The architect and father meticulously planned and executed six separate murders," said Tierney during a news conference on Thursday.

A significant breakthrough in the case came from a digital "planning document" found on one of 350 electronic devices seized from Heuermann's home in Massapequa Park, New York. This document contained a checklist detailing how to package a body for transport, avoid leaving DNA traces, and other steps to ensure the success of his gruesome acts. There were notes indicating steps to take "next time," such as considering a hit to the face or neck and using heavier rope for the neck.

"Heuermann wrote about the importance of sleep to avoid 'PROBLEMS' and to increase what he referred to as 'PLAY TIME,' believed to reference sexual and mutilation acts on victims," court documents reveal. The planning document also included a "post-event" checklist with tasks to avoid apprehension, such as "BURN GLOVES," "DISPOSE OF PICS," and "HAVE STORY SET."

Jessica Taylor, a sex worker in midtown Manhattan, was last seen in the same area where Heuermann worked. Taylor was decapitated and dismembered, with her remains discovered in stages over several years. DNA from hair found on a surgical drape underneath her body helped link Heuermann to her death.

Sandra Costilla, 28, was found in a wooded area in North Sea, Long Island, in 1993. DNA evidence also connected Heuermann to her murder. "Pornographic images accessed by Heuermann notably and largely coincide with how the remains of Taylor and Costilla were found," prosecutors noted.

Heuermann was initially arrested in July and charged with the murders of Megan Waterman, Amber Costello, and Melissa Barthelemy, all escorts whose remains were found in desolate spots near Gilgo Beach in 2010. He was later charged with the murder of a fourth escort, Maureen Brainard-Barnes. Six additional sets of remains were also found in the area.

In court on Thursday, Heuermann pleaded not guilty to the new charges. His defense attorney reiterated his innocence. Heuermann remains in custody without bail and is scheduled to return to court on July 30.

District Attorney Tierney stated that Heuermann is now the leading suspect in the death of Valerie Mack, whose remains were found in Manorville near Jessica Taylor’s. Investigators will continue to review over 30 years of crimes in Suffolk County and beyond to see what else might be connected to Heuermann.

This case continues to unfold as authorities piece together the extent of Heuermann's alleged crimes, bringing some measure of closure to the families of the victims. The investigation remains ongoing, with the hope that further evidence will emerge to solidify the case against Heuermann.

DNA Evidence Ties Accused Long Island Serial Killer to "Gilgo Beach Four" Murders

DNA Evidence Ties Accused Long Island Serial Killer to "Gilgo Beach Four" Murders

Accused Long Island serial killer Rex Heuermann faces new charges after DNA evidence linked him to the notorious "Gilgo Beach Four" murders. In an indictment unsealed in Suffolk County court, Heuermann, 60, was charged with the murder of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, one of the victims whose remains were discovered along the Sound Shore in 2010. These murders had remained unsolved for 13 years.    The breakthrough in the case came as investigators connected Brainard-Barnes' murder to Heuermann through DNA evidence. Specifically, a female hair found on the victim's body was matched to samples collected from Heuermann's wife, Asa Ellerup, and their 26-year-old daughter, Victoria. Remarkably, both women were out of town when all four of the murders took place, including the time of Brainard-Barnes' death in Atlantic City, as detailed in the indictment.    Prosecutors revealed disturbing details about Heuermann's alleged activities. He reportedly texted escorts while his wife and children were away, engaging in sick online searches such as "Very skinny white teen tied up porn," "tied up fat girl porn," "medieval torture of women," and "how I was raped audio." Investigators also discovered a collection of violent, bondage, and torture pornography on Heuermann's electronic devices. Furthermore, they found that he had used his computer to contact escorts, using the names "Andy" or "Andrew," which correspond to his middle name.    One of the escorts allegedly received a text message from Heuermann on March 1, 2020, stating, "Hi, I saw your ad and wanted to see if we could set something up later." This chilling exchange occurred as the escort asked if the following day would work, to which Heuermann responded, "I am working all day. I was free today; my wife is out for the day… working Monday."    While Rex Heuermann pleaded not guilty to these new charges, his wife, Asa Ellerup, and daughter, Victoria Heuermann, were present at the arraignment but did not address reporters.    Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney had previously identified Rex Heuermann as the primary suspect in the death of Maureen Brainard-Barnes. He had expressed that his office was close to linking Heuermann to her case.    Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25, was the first of the "Gilgo Four" to disappear on July 9, 2007. Her body was later discovered on December 13, 2010, and she was reportedly bound with a belt stamped with the initials "WH," which investigators have suggested may have belonged to Heuermann's late grandfather, William Heuermann.    The "Gilgo Four" case involved the discovery of more than ten sets of human remains along Ocean Parkway between December 2010 and April 2011. Three other victims who worked as escorts, Amber Lynn Costello, Melissa Barthelemy, and Megan Waterman, became known as the "Gilgo Four."    Maureen Brainard-Barnes had a life prior to her tragic disappearance. She was originally from Groton, Connecticut, and was described as a straight-A student who dropped out of school at 17 after becoming pregnant. She held various jobs, including working as a card dealer at the Foxwoods Resort Casino, at a local ShopRite, and at a gas station in the area.    As this shocking case unfolds, investigators continue their efforts to seek justice for the victims and their families, as well as to provide answers in a case that has haunted Long Island for over a decade.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
