Along Long Island’s Gilgo Beach, the remains of more than ten individuals—some of whom have not yet been identified—were discovered.
Rex Heuermann may be accountable for more than the seven women he has been charged with killing.
After DNA from a discarded pizza crust connected the alleged Long Island serial murderer to the killings of Megan Waterman, Melissa Barthelemy, and Amber Costello.
He was first taken into custody in July 2023. Later, evidence connected him to the murders of four additional women: Valerie Mack, Jessica Taylor, Sandra Costilla, and Maureen Brainard-Barnes.
When the seven women vanished between 1993 and 2010, they were all employed as escorts. In 2010, when authorities were looking into the disappearance of another escort.
