Rex Heuermann's Burlap, Hair, and Pizza: The Forensic Breaks That Nailed the Gilgo Suspect

Rex Heuermann's Burlap, Hair, and Pizza: The Forensic Breaks That Nailed the Gilgo Suspect

The DNA Breakthrough & What Comes Next Rex Heuermann's Burlap, Hair, and Pizza: The Forensic Breaks That Nailed the Gilgo Suspect

After years of dead ends, the case against Rex Heuermann broke open with a slice of pizza. Surveillance teams tailing him in 2023 collected a discarded crust, extracting DNA that matched hairs found on the burlap sacks wrapped around the Gilgo Beach victims. Not just his hair—familial matches tied back to his wife and daughter, consistent with the chaotic, unclean hoarder house investigators uncovered.

Forensic science has now caught up with cold cases. Whole-genome sequencing—a powerful new tool—can analyze even hairs without roots, building a near-complete profile. Defense lawyers fought to keep it out, calling it “untested.” But the court just ruled: it’s in. Jurors may not understand the science, but they’ll understand this: it’s precise, it’s definitive, and it ties Rex Heuermann to the crime scene.

We dig into what that means: how genome sequencing strengthens forensic cases, why it will likely become the new courtroom standard, and why Rex’s arguments about “new science” may backfire. And we ask: what about Asa? Did she know nothing, or was she so trauma-bonded and compartmentalized that denial became her survival? Her claim that “I still feel Rex is here” after the house raid shows a connection that goes beyond ordinary loyalty.

From DNA on pizza crust to notes in the basement, the walls are closing in. The trial date hasn’t been set, but with DNA admitted, the odds of Rex Heuermann ever walking free again are vanishing. This is the turn from cold case to courtroom reality—and it’s decades in the making.

Rex Heuermann Charged With 2 More LISK Murders

Rex Heuermann Charged With 2 More LISK Murders

In a recent episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," former felony prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis discusses the escalating charges against Rex Heuermann, now linked to six murders. Initially charged with four murders, Heuermann is now accused of killing Jessica Taylor and Sandra Costella. Taylor’s partial remains were found near Gilgo Beach in 2011 and later linked to other remains in Marionville, while Costella’s remains were discovered in 1993 in the Hamptons. Faddis speculates on the new evidence uncovered during recent searches, including possible connections through items found in Heuermann’s home. The conversation touches on the potential impact of a true crime documentary by Peacock and 50 Cent, which might be aiding the investigation. As more bodies are linked to Heuermann, the discussion explores the possible extent of his crimes and whether his wife, Asa Ellerup, should divorce him. The benefits of divorce could include spousal privilege and securing assets, though this remains complex legally. The episode delves into the chilling implications of Heuermann’s alleged decades-long spree and the legal and personal ramifications for those involved. **Main Points:** - Rex Heuermann is now charged with six murders, including Jessica Taylor and Sandra Costella. - Taylor's remains were found near Gilgo Beach in 2011 and later linked to remains in Marionville. - Costella's remains were discovered in 1993 in the Hamptons, previously unlinked to the Gilgo Beach investigation. - New evidence from recent searches, including Heuermann's home, might have contributed to the new charges. - Potential involvement of a true crime documentary by Peacock and 50 Cent in providing evidence. - Speculation on how far Heuermann's crimes extend, with some believing there could be up to 11 related incidents. - Discussion on whether Asa Ellerup should divorce Heuermann to possibly secure assets and invoke spousal privilege. #RexHeuermann #JessicaTaylor #SandraCostella #GilgoBeachMurders #EricFaddis #TonyBrueski #HiddenKillersPodcast Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
