ICYMI Here's how a discarded pizza box, thrown into a 5th Avenue trash can in the middle of Manhattan, would eventually help investigators link Rex Heuermann to DNA evidence collected from the body of a Gilgo Beach victim killed more than 10 years ago
A discarded pizza box, thrown into a 5th Avenue trash can in the middle of Manhattan, would eventually help investigators link Rex Heuermann to DNA evidence collected from the body of a Gilgo Beach victim killed more than 10 years ago.
After reigniting investigative efforts into the Long Island serial killings early last year, officials said Friday that Heuermann became a focus of the unsolved case in early 2022. "On March 14, 2022. the name Rex was first mentioned. A New York state investigator was able to identify him in a database and from that point on we used the power of the grand jury, over 300 subpoenas and search warrants, looking into this individual's background to bring us to this day," Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney said.
A freshly formed task force had started working six weeks earlier, and would eventually use a combination of cellphone pings of calls and DNA evidence to charge Heuermann for the murders of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman and Amber Costello. Prosecutors said in court documents that he remains the prime suspect in Brainard-Barnes' death, but there are no charges as the investigation"is continuing and is expected to be resolved soon.
