  • Accused Gilgo Beach Serial Killer Challenges DNA Evidence, Seeks Separate Trials

    Accused Gilgo Beach Serial Killer Challenges DNA Evidence, Seeks Separate Trials

    Accused Gilgo Beach Serial Killer Challenges DNA Evidence, Seeks Separate Trials

    Accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann appeared in a Long Island courtroom as his defense team formally filed motions challenging the case against him.

    Heuermann, an architect and father of two from Massapequa Park, is charged with seven of at least ten murders tied to the infamous Gilgo Beach killings. His legal team is pushing to separate the charges into multiple trials and is contesting key forensic evidence that prosecutors plan to use.

    His attorney, Michael Brown, filed a motion requesting that the seven murder charges be split into five separate trials.

    The motion proposes that the first three victims be tried together, while the remaining four be handled individually. Brown argued that keeping all charges in one trial could unfairly influence a jury.

    "When you have count after count, charge after charge, it leads a jury despite a judge's instruction, it leads a jury to say you know what there's so much there," Brown stated. "He may not be guilty of this but maybe he's guilty of that and it's what we call accumulative effect."

    The defense is also challenging DNA evidence obtained from rootless hairs found at six of the crime scenes. Attorney Danielle Coysh argued that the forensic method used to analyze the hairs has not been widely accepted in the scientific community, making it inadmissible under state law.

    "It's never been the subject of any judicial testing or any standard so this is the first time in the United States that it will be done," Coysh said.

    Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney pushed back on the defense's claims, stating that the DNA method—performed by Astrea Forensics, a California-based lab—is scientifically valid.

    "I would submit that this is the next generation of the evolution of the technology," Tierney said. "It's exciting to be at the forefront of that and we look forward to proving the scientific acceptance and effectiveness of this technology."

    Tierney has led the charge against Heuermann, working with the Gilgo Beach Task Force to bring charges against him.

    The latest development in the case comes after Heuermann was recently charged in the murder of Valerie Mack. Her remains were first discovered by a hunter’s dog in 2000 in a wooded area of Manorville, Long Island. Mack’s decapitated body was found inside a black plastic bag bound with rope and wrapped in duct tape. Both her hands and one of her legs were severed, according to court documents. The rest of her remains surfaced more than a decade later, in April 2011, near Gilgo Beach.

    Heuermann has pleaded not guilty to Mack’s murder, as well as the killings of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Amber Costello, Jessica Taylor, and Sandra Costilla. Authorities have linked the murders to a string of victims found along Ocean Parkway between 1993 and 2010.

    His next court appearance is set for February 18. Judge Timothy Mazzei indicated that a hearing on the DNA evidence, known as a Frye hearing, will likely take place in late February or early March.

    Heuermann has denied all charges.

  • Defense Challenges DNA Evidence in Gilgo Beach Serial Killer Case

    Defense Challenges DNA Evidence in Gilgo Beach Serial Killer Case
    Jan 9 2025
    Rex Heuermann, the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer charged with murdering seven women, is challenging key DNA evidence ahead of his trial. His defense team is urging the judge to exclude nuclear DNA results derived from hairs found at six crime scenes, arguing the scientific methods used are unreliable.

    The case, which has captured national attention, hinges on evidence gathered by the Suffolk County District Attorney's office and the Gilgo Beach Task Force, led by DA Ray Tierney. Heuermann, an architect, husband, and father of two from Massapequa Park, denies involvement in the killings.

    Tierney addressed the defense’s motion, saying, "We're not going to engage in what ifs. Obviously, that's among many other key components of our case, so we're prepared to defend it."

    Heuermann's attorneys filed the motion in Central Islip this week, asserting that the DNA technique employed by Astrea Forensics, a California-based lab, lacks widespread acceptance in the scientific community. This motion initiates pretrial hearings to determine whether the evidence will be admissible at trial.

    "If we weren't confident in the efficacy and the admissibility of that evidence, we would not have used it," Tierney stated.

    Prosecutors believe the DNA evidence ties Heuermann to the alleged crimes. Successfully excluding the evidence could weaken the prosecution’s case. However, Tierney expressed readiness for the challenge, adding, "We’ll abide by the mandates of the court, we’ll have the hearing, and we’re looking forward to doing so."

    The hearing on the DNA admissibility is set to occur this winter. Depending on its outcome and the time required to address other challenges, the trial could begin later this year or early 2026.

    Heuermann, who was arrested last year, is also suspected in other unsolved murders connected to Gilgo Beach. However, Tierney clarified, "We don’t make any assumptions, we just continue to work the evidence and see where that evidence leads."

    The next court date for Heuermann is January 15, where further developments in the case may unfold.
