FRIDAY NIGHT SPECIAL : Bombshell Court DNA Ruling in Rex Heuerman Serial Murder Prosecution
Police arrest prominent New York architect Rex Heuerman in connection with the Gilgo Beach serial killings. Rex Heuerman,59, is charged in multiple deaths of women whose bodies were found buried. These include Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello. The women's remains were found along Gilgo Beach in Long Island within 500 feet of each other. However, investigators have found a total of eleven bodies but Heuerman is not charged in all. Seven so far. Heuermann claims he is innocent. Now a judge rules that evidence collected through cutting-edge DNA technology will be admissible at his trial. Prosecutors say the DNA points directly at Rex Heuermann. The technology specializes in extracting nuclear DNA from damaged or hard-to-get samples, such as rootless hair, like those found on six of the victims.

SHOCK CCTV: BEAUTY QUEEN KADA SUSPECT STALKS 1ST VICTIM: 'GO AWAY BI*CH'
In the days before Kada Scott's disappearance, she tells friends she’s being harassed online and over the phone. Kada goes to work at an upscale assisted living facility for a 10 p.m. – 6 a.m. shift. Shortly after arriving at work, Kada walks out, car still in the parking lot, and no cameras. Kada's phone goes straight to voicemail; the phone is possibly now dead, and there is no social media activity. Two weeks into the investigation, investigators announced the arrest of Keon King, 21, for Kada’s kidnapping, but Kada is still missing. Investigators beg the public for help to track down King’s 1999 gold Toyota Camry, Pennsylvania plate MSX0797.Hours after that request, a resident at Gypsy Lane Condos remembers a car matching that description had been parked in the lot for almost a week. Officers descend on the community, where King’s family lives, cordoning off the parking lot to search. The Toyota is towed when police confirm it belongs to King. Surveillance footage shows the car entering the gated Gypsy Lane parking lot 5 days before police tow it. A resident opens the gate for the driver, who sits in the car for about 35 minutes before leaving. It’s unclear if King was behind the wheel. Just two weeks before Kada’s disappearance, King listed the car for sale on Facebook Marketplace. Police are also spreading out from the last search at Awbury Arboretum. Acting on a tip, officers search across the street at the now-abandoned Ada Lewis Middle School. During a grid search outside the locked building, they recover some of Kada’s belongings: her debit card and pink phone case.
