Accused Long Island Serial Killer Charged With Six Murders.

Accused Long Island serial killer Rex A. Heuermann appears during a hearing in Suffolk County Superior Court

Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney has announced that suspected Long Island serial killer Rex Hurman is now facing charges for the murders of two additional women, bringing the total number of murders he's accused of to six. The victims identified in the latest charges are Jessica Taylor and Sandra Castilla. Investigators uncovered a planning document believed to be a blueprint for Hurman's killings, shedding light on his motivations and meticulous planning.

During the investigation, DNA evidence linked Hurman to the commission of these two crimes. The planning document, recovered from his laptop despite attempts to erase it, detailed his actions and strategies to avoid detection. Notably, the document referenced passages from the book 'Mindhunter,' suggesting Hurman may have used it to evade law enforcement.

Regarding Hurman's family, authorities determined they were out of town or even out of the country during the times of the murders. The planning document indicated an intent to have unrestricted access to victims in the absence of others. Despite the current charges, the investigation remains ongoing, with a commitment to exploring potential additional cases linked to Hurman.

Law enforcement efforts have been dedicated to thoroughly examining the evidence, including searches in wooded areas near the crime scenes. While some searches have been conducted, authorities acknowledge the need for continued vigilance and exploration of surrounding regions. The focus remains on uncovering the full extent of Hurman's alleged crimes and ensuring justice for all victims.

The recent developments in the case have provided significant breakthroughs, indicating progress in unraveling the complexities of the investigation. Suffolk County authorities remain resolute in their pursuit of truth and accountability, emphasizing the importance of thoroughness and diligence in handling such sensitive and challenging cases.
