Gilgo Beach suspect Rex Heuermann’s lawyer argues against cheek swab request for DNA testing: report
Accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex A. Heuermann’s legal team is fighting a request from Suffolk County prosecutors to obtain a cheek swab for DNA testing.
Coysh’s reply came after prosecutors made the court aware they wanted a cheek swab from Heuermann for more DNA testing last week, Newsday reported. Assistant Suffolk County District Attorney Michelle Haddad asked the court last week to sign off on the cheek swab because the pizza crust and napkins can only be referred to as “purported to be used/touched,” by Heuermann, according to the court docs, according to Newsday.
