DNA evidence in alleged Gilgo serial killer Rex Heuermann case at issue in pre-trial hearing

Heuermann's defense team has sought to bar from trial the DNA results from rootless hairs found at six of the seven crime scenes that have been linked to their client or members of his family.
The article from Newsday discusses the case of Rex Heuermann, accused of being the Gilgo Beach serial killer. It details how DNA evidence played a crucial role in his arrest. Investigators used DNA from a pizza crust discarded by Heuermann, which matched mitochondrial DNA from a hair found on one of the victims, Megan Waterman. This DNA match was pivotal in linking Heuermann to the crimes. Additionally, the article mentions that Heuermann's wife and children provided DNA samples, although their DNA did not match the crime scene evidence. The case also involved extensive surveillance and the collection of other physical evidence like bottles and cans from Heuermann's trash, which further corroborated the DNA findings. The article underscores the significance of forensic science in solving long-standing cold cases.
