Earlier this year, DNA from a pizza crust Heuermann discarded was linked to a hair found on one of the victims.
Alleged serial killer Rex Heuermann is due back in court on Long Island on Tuesday, pending additional evidence. This will be his first court appearance since he was charged with the murders of six women. At the time of his initial arrest, a year ago on July 13, prosecutors said they had an "avalanche" of evidence against the alleged serial killer. The judge hopes the prosecution will hand over additional discovery to the defense. This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
"Arrest records show that detectives believe Heuermann used burner cell phones to contact his victims and, in one case, used one of the victim's cell phones to make "taunting" phone calls to her family in which he admitted killing and sexually assaulting her.Records also show that, earlier this year, investigators were able to obtain DNA from a pizza crust that Heuermann threw out. That DNA was also a close match to a hair found on one of the victim's naked bodies.
