Will Heuermann’s Latest DNA Test Reveal More Murders??

The enigmatic case of Rex Heuermann, an alleged serial killer with potential ties to various unsolved murders, has recently seen developments that promise further clarity. The details were discussed on the popular podcast “Hidden Killers,” where host Tony Brueski conversed with Jennifer Coffindaffer, former FBI Special Agent and contributor to Hidden Killers Daily.
 
“We’re talking about Rex Heuermann and some of the latest developments there. The swab is going to be done,” began Brueski, hinting at the crucial move by law enforcement to transition from mitochondrial DNA to a direct swab from Heuermann’s cheek. Despite initial resistance, the test is projected to provide substantial information when added to the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS). Coffindaffer commented, “Whenever his DNA hits CODIS, it will be a good day. Because no matter what, it’s either going to exclude him or include him.”

Rex Heuermann’s purported ties to unsolved crimes have recently come into focus, with particular attention given to victims found on Gilgo Beach. Several discovered bodies bore a disturbing signature: they were wrapped in burlap sacks. The police have reportedly found hair traces belonging to Heuermann and his wife on some of these victims.
 
However, not all bodies discovered on the beach fit this pattern. Brueski posed a significant question: did Heuermann change his modus operandi over time? Coffindaffer explained that while many killers dismember bodies to hinder identification, Heuermann might have realized he didn’t need to take that step. “Maybe he realized, you know what, I don’t need to go to these great lengths. This is my dumping ground,” she speculated. But there remains the baffling possibility of another serial killer using the same site for disposing of bodies.
 
Adding to the complexity, a child and a reportedly trans-dressing male were among the victims found. This raises further questions about Heuermann’s potential victims of choice and whether all discovered bodies can indeed be linked to him. Brueski pondered, “I don’t know. I mean, I guess one of the things you’d have to look at is statistics of how frequently are they finding bodies on this beach?”
 
Addressing another crucial point, Brueski inquired whether Coffindaffer was aware of other cases in states where Heuermann had known activities similar to the burlap sack signature. “No, not yet,” Coffindaffer revealed, but emphasized that mitochondrial comparisons had been made to other known cases in different states based on potential similarities in the method of operation.
 
The case has ignited interest due to its perplexing elements and the possibility of linking one man to multiple unsolved murders. The promise of forthcoming DNA results only heightens the anticipation. As Coffindaffer rightly concluded, referencing the late revelation about the Gilgo Beach connection, “We didn’t hear a sound about gilgo until they were ready to come forward.” Only time will unravel the full narrative behind Rex Heuermann’s alleged dark deeds.
