Rex Heuermann, a 60-year-old New York City architect, has been charged with two additional murders in connection with the Gilgo Beach serial killings on Long Island. This brings the total number of charges against him to six. The new charges involve the deaths of Jessica Taylor in 2003 and Sandra Castillo in 1993. Heuermann, who was arrested last summer, is expected to be arraigned later this week on Thursday. The charges come after investigators conducted extensive searches of his Massapequa Park home and a wooded area on Long Island. Prosecutors have described the new developments in the case as significant.
