as posted by the channel

A DNA sample from accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann linked him to at least one of the women he is accused of killing 13 years ago — and to a pizza crust that helped crack the cold case, prosecutors said in court Wednesday.

Heuermann, 59, submitted the court-ordered swab last month, with Suffolk County prosecutors now saying that the sample matched DNA from a pizza crust found outside his Midtown Manhattan office in July — which matched a hair found on the body of Gilgo Beach victim Megan Waterman in 2010.

The hulking architect — who wore tan pants, a white shirt and a jacket and sported a new haircut with a comb-over as he appeared in court — is charged with murder in the deaths of three women who were found dumped along Gilgo Beach in December 2010: Waterman, 22, Melissa Barthelemy, 24, Amber Lynn Costello, 27.

He is also the prime suspect in the death of a fourth woman, 25-year-old Maureen Brainard-Barnes — with the victims, all former sex workers, known collectively as the “Gilgo Four.”

Heuermann only spoke once during the brief proceedings, telling Judge Timothy Mazzei that he had been able to review evidence submitted by prosecutors “2 or 3 hours” at a time from behind bars.
