Sandra Costilla was a 28-year-old woman from Trinidad and Tobago who was killed on November 19 or 20, 1993. In 2024 Rex Heuermann was charged with her murder. DNA from hairs found on her body matched Heuermann's, according to his indictment.
Costilla was living in New York City at the time of her disappearance. Her body was found in November 1993 by hunters in a wooded area in [[North Sea, New York|North Sea, Long Island]], approximately 60 miles northeast of Gilgo Beach.
Costilla is the earliest known victim in the set of murder charges against Heuermann, indicating that he allegedly began killing in the 1990s or earlier, and that he disposed of bodies in locations beyond the Gilgo Beach area.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Bowman |first1=Emma |title=The Gilgo Beach killings suspect is charged with two more murders.
