Gilgo Beach suspect Rex Heuremann is charged with two additional murders of Jessica Taylor and Sandra Castillo
Gilgo Beach serial killer suspect Rex Heuermann has been charged with two additional murders.
Heuermann, of Long Island, was charged with the 2003 murders of 20-year-old Jessica Taylor and 28-year-old Sandra Castillo in 1993.
The 60-year-old is now accused of murdering a total of six women.
Heuermann will appear in a Long Island court this morning for charges to be filed against him. He has pleaded not guilty to the murders of four other women who were sex workers.

It comes a week after police searched his dilapidated home in Massapequa Park, Long Island.
That led to speculation that they could have blamed Heuermann for more murders.
The decapitated and handless body of 20-year-old Taylor was discovered in 2003 in the woods of Manorville, New York. The rest of her remains were discovered in 2011, more than 40 miles away, near Gilgo Beach on Long Island.
Costilla, who lived in Queens, was involved in the Gilgo Beach investigation following an April search of the property where her remains were found.
She was strangled and possibly raped, police said after her remains were found. Her body was found naked with her hands tied behind her back.
