About

Sandra Costilla was a 28-year-old sex worker from Queens, New York whose partial remains were found along Ocean Parkway near Gilgo Beach in November 1993 — predating the 2010 discoveries by nearly two decades. Her case remains separate from the 'Gilgo Four' victims, though investigators have examined whether she was also a victim of Rex Heuermann. Costilla's identification took years because of the fragmentary nature of her remains.
