The man accused of killing three women as part of a notorious serial-killing case in New York spoke briefly in a court hearing as prosecutors presented DNA evidence they argued demonstrated the man’s connection to the killings.
The hearing came months after police arrested architect Rex Heuermann in Manhattan, nearly 40 miles from his home in Massapequa Park on Long Island. Heuermann has been charged over the killings of three women in the so-called Gilgo Beach case, a case that has captivated Suffolk county residents, police and the nation for more than a decade.
