The Long Island architect charged with murdering four women whose bodies were discovered on a remote beach was charged with killing two more women.

Rex Heuermann, 60, faces two new second-degree murder charges filed by the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office Thursday. Investigators said they were able to link Heuermann to the 1993 murder of Sandra Costilla and the 2003 killing of Jessica Taylor through DNA from hair found on the remains of both victims.
