Accused Long Island serial killer Rex Heuermann was charged with two additional second-degree murder counts yesterday, bringing the number of his alleged murder victims to six. The superseding indictment lists Jessica Taylor and Sandra Costilla as Heuermann's alleged victims in a case with ties to nearly a dozen other bodies found along Ocean Parkway since the 1990s (see previous write-up). Heuermann has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
The latest indictment stems from a hard drive discovered in Heuermann's basement containing a file with alleged killing plans. Investigators recovered the text document detailing various preparation lists, including items needed for murder, potential risks, and cleaning tasks (read here, p. 20-30). Elsewhere, police also discovered violent pornography depicting acts similar to those done to the victims. DNA tests also linked hair discovered on both Taylor and Costilla's bodies to Heuermann.
The case first received attention after the bodies of four sex workers were discovered in 2010. Read more here.
