Gilgo Beach LISK Serial Killer, Rex Heuermann, charged with 3 murders, July 2023

Hoping the mega Peacock deal can be pulled.

There must be an "out"

I wouldn't think so -- there is too much money potentially involved in a case of this size. To have a deal with the family isn't going to be turned loose, I would think.

The potential for high ratings have just skyrocketed. The deal won't be pulled, imo.

Josh Zeman says if LE can connect Jessica Taylor to Rex then Valarie Mack, Peaches and her daughter should follow.

"According to Newsday, the disgraced architect has been indicted in the November 1993 death of Sandra Costilla, a Queens woman whose remains were found in the town of Southampton over three decades ago."

Gilgo Beach murders update: Rex Heuermann charged with 2 more killings

Rex Heuermann, the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer, was back in a Suffolk County Courthouse to face additional charges in connection to the case on Long Island. He was charged with the murders of Sandra Costilla and Jessica Taylor.

Evidently, Sandra Costilla is going to be one of the RH victims. Will there be one more, Jessica Taylor? Or even more beyond that?

No matter what, eventually there will be more charges, thanks to this. And down on my hands and knees saying "thank you" there's something, anything at all. Decades and decades. This guy's kill count is going to be through the roof. No words. There are no words for who this guy is, and what he did. I just wish there wasn't so much replication. They'll get him, but there will be more to take his place.

All of them like him. That's what I want.

One of the only positive outcomes is that the public, the experts and our leaders will learn more about how these killers operate and evolve over years, how they blend seamlessly into our communities and how important it is that we not leave investigations stagnant and unsolved as the body count rises year after year.

The "NOT SO FAST" title on the other article of the Newsday cover made me laugh out loud ! Oh, the irony !

Just a comment about the Peacock deal. All investments by media companies are based on two things. What the audience viewers will pay, and what the sponsors will pay. We all know examples where sponsors will not buy ad time for some content, because the sponsor does not want to be associated with a certain subject or production.

Finally Peacock is not a 'tabloid' company but they are interested in profits. They will walk away from this project and a million dollars to Asa the instant they realize the cost to produce the show far exceeds any potential revenue.

Rest assured, they have a number of escape clauses in the contract.

Finally, a million dollars is chump change for the parent Comcast-NBCUniversal which earned over $45 Billion last year

Sandra Costilla definitely came out of left field. It shows an interesting insight into his development. He dumps his first victim in a wooded area, partially clothed. She gets identified via fingerprints, which probably worried him at the time. If the police have a victim's name, there's always the possibility that they can trace her last known movements. Following Costilla, he begins to dismember his victims and dump their identifying remains in the bushes along Ocean Parkway. When the police release a photograph of Peaches' tattoo, he begins to hide or obscure his victims' tattoos. When Jessica Taylor is identified using the tattoo that is put back together and DNA, he stops dumping bodies out in the open, preferring to stick with the same stretch of road where his victims' remains were still untouched. He was likely paying attention to news reports the entire time by reading newspapers on his commute on the LIRR.

Did any of the other victims have police records that would have fingerprints on file? I'm wondering if he chose victims from that point forward who didn't have criminal record??

(I am not a years-long follower of the case - so sorry if this is a dumb question.)

Sandra Costilla makes sense to me. Jessica Taylor and/or Valerie Mack would completely blow my mind. Guess we'll know for certain shortly.

John Doe #8 or "Asian Male

My mind frequently wanders back to "Asian Male.
It's hard to believe that no friends have reported him missing' even though the family hasn't.
Does anyone know if his DNA was able to be extracted?
Is it a cultural issue when some families don't report a missing relative who was a sex worker or someone from the GLTQT community?

Some of the others did have criminal records (Vergata, for example), but he made sure to hide their skulls and hands in the bushes along Ocean Parkway. By doing this, he was able to prevent the police from checking the victims' dental records and fingerprints.

Melissa had a fairly recent prostitution charge. Can't recall on Amber, Maureen, and Megan.

Karen Vergata, Jessica Taylor, and Valerie Mack had records too.

 

[wcasewatch]

Interestingly, Sandra Costilla's murder occurred during a period when his first marriage was falling apart. Many killers start following a stressor in their lives.

 

[Mountain_Kat]

Karen Vergata, Jessica Taylor, and Valerie Mack had records too.

But he hasn't been charged with those murders...that we know of. We'll know shortly, but we don't know right now.

I'm not a long time follower either.

Karen Vergata was in jail on Valentine's Day 1989, she called her father for his birthday and that was the last contact the family had.

It has been reported that was the day she was also released but I don't know if it's been confirmed.

I get you, but it seems to be a foregone conclusion at this stage. It'll be official in a few hours.

Thank you, everyone for the info about police records! I knew WSers on this thread would know all the details!!

Awaiting news from today's court.....

Will Asa still be visiting him in jail after today?

Her lawyer Bob Macedonio had said earlier this week that she's on vacation with son CS and won't be returning.
Stay tuned because her Peacock contract may say differently.

 

[Megnut]

In the end, how many cold cases will he be responsible for?

In the end, how many murders attributed to others will he be responsible for?

Tip, meet iceberg.

Ghastly and it just gets worse.

If there is any justice left in the world, may LE uncover every single crime this monster committed.

They all had names.
