  wooded area in Manerville, he faces additional charges for two more murders. He
• 0:54
  is accused of the two thousand three murder of Taylor, whose remains were found
• 0:59
  in Gilgo Beach and Manerville, and the nineteen ninety three murder of Sandra Costilla,
• 1:04
  whose remains were discovered in north Sea, Long Island. Prosecutors have linked
• 1:08
  Houyman to both murders through DNA evidence. Including a hare found on a drape
• 1:15
  under Taylor's body. Initially, Costilla's murder was believed to be the doing of
• 1:21
  John Bittrolf, but recent DNA advancements have now implicated Hoyman. According to prosecutors,
• 1:29
  Rex Heyman, the suspect in the Gilgo Beach serial killings, has been
• 1:33
  charged with the deaths of six women over a span of three decades in various
• 1:38
  Long Island communities. He pleaded not guilty to the murder charges of Jessica Taylor
• 1:44
  in two thousand three and Sandra Costilla in nineteen ninety three. The sixty year
• 1:49
  old architect was surprised by the new charges and is currently in a difficult situation.
• 1:55
  According to his attorney, Michael Brown, Hyman has been real commanded without
• 2:00
  bail and is scheduled to appear in court on July thirtie. Suffolk County Prosecutor
• 2:07
  Nicholas Santa Martino shocked the court room by revealing disturbing content found on Heyerman's devices,
• 2:15
  including a document detailing plans for future killings. This includes instructions on disposing
• 2:22
  of bodies, avoiding detection, and preventing DNA evidence, as well as a
• 2:27
  list of supplies needed for serial murder. The document contained a section labeled Body
• 2:34
  Preparation, which outlined the steps for cleaning, dismembering, and transporting bodies.
• 2:40
  Additionally, a section titled post event seemed to be a checklist of tasks aimed
• 2:46
  at avoiding detection, such as having a pre planned story. As stated in
• 2:52
  the bail application. During a press conference following the court appearance, Suffolk County
• 2:57
  District Attorney Raymond tier He stated this document was used by Hyman to meticulously plan
• 3:05
  and strategize his killings with meticulous attention to detail. His goal was to specifically
• 3:12
  target these victims, track them down, bring them under his control, and
• 3:17
  ultimately end their lives. Further evidence presented in the bail application revealed Huyman's extensive
• 3:24
  collection of violent bondage and torture pornography dating back to nineteen ninety four. The
• 3:32
  remains of Taylor were discovered partially in Manerville in two thousand three, with additional
• 3:38
  remains found along Ocean Parkway on Gilgo Beach in twenty eleven. Manerville is located
• 3:45
  approximately forty five miles northeast of Gilgo and about forty miles east of Massapequa Park,
• 3:52
  Hoyerman's hometown. Taylor's remains were found decapitated, with her hands and arms
• 3:58
  severed below the elbows, lying face up. Additionally, a tattoo had been
• 4:03
  intentionally removed with a sharp object. According to Tierney, at the time of
• 4:09
  her disappearance, Taylor was working as a sex worker in New York City.
• 4:14
  Hoyerman was known to have been in the city on the last day Taylor was
• 4:17
  seen there. After Taylor failed to return home for her mother's birthday, her
• 4:25
  family contacted law enforcement, leading to the recovery of some of her remains the
• 4:30
  following day. Witnesses reported seeing a dark colored pickup truck near the location where
• 4:36
  her body was eventually found. As detailed in the bail application, Costilla's body
• 4:45
  was discovered in the North Sea in nineteen ninety three by two hunters in the
• 4:48
  forest. As stated in the bail request, she was found lying on her
• 4:54
  back with twenty five sharp force wounds suspected to have been inflicted after her death.
• 5:00
  Tierney reported hair strands found on or near the remains of both Taylor and
• 5:04
  Costilla underwent forensic testing, revealing that ninety nine point ninety six percent of the
• 5:12
  North American population could be ruled out as the hair source. However, Heyman
• 5:18
  could not be excluded. Heyman was taken into custody in July twenty twenty three
• 5:24
  and faced murder charges in connection to the deaths of four women whose bodies were
• 5:30
  found bound with belts or tape and wrapped in burlap along a section of Long
• 5:34
  Island's Gilgo Beach in twenty ten. The victims, identified as Melissa Barthelemy Megan
• 5:42
  Waterman, Amber Costello, and Maureen Brainered Barnes, were collectively referred to as
• 5:48
  the Gilgo Four. Heyerman entered a plea of not guilty to the charges involving
• 5:55
  all four victims. These women were part of a group of at least to
• 6:00
  eleven sets of remains uncovered near the shoreline in Suffolk County, Long Island since
• 6:05
  twenty ten. Authorities have alleged that Hoyerman lived a double life.
