Megan Waterman: How a Pizza Crust Connected Heuermann to Gilgo

Megan Waterman: How a Pizza Crust Connected Heuermann to Gilgo

A pizza crust. That's what cracked the Gilgo Beach case. Investigators tailing Rex Heuermann watched him eat pizza near his Manhattan office and recovered the discarded crust — legally obtained because he'd tossed it in public. The DNA on that crust matched a male hair found in the burlap around Megan Waterman's remains. And that single match opened the door to warrants, searches, and everything the prosecution is built on.

Episode 6 of "The Seven." Megan was 22, from Scarborough, Maine. A mother who called her three-year-old daughter every day without fail. When the calls stopped in June 2010, her family reported her missing within two days. Surveillance footage shows Megan leaving a Holiday Inn Express at 1:15 a.m. to meet a client. She was found six months later on Ocean Parkway, wrapped in burlap, alongside the rest of the Gilgo Four.

Prosecutors allege every murder Heuermann is charged with occurred when his family was out of state — and that his internet search history included images of the victims' families. Megan's life, the pizza-crust breakthrough, and the evidence prosecutors built from that single DNA match — all covered here.
