In July 2022, forensic testing determined that each of the female hairs found on Maureen, Megan, and Amber belonged to the same female individual, according to the docs.

On or around July 21, 2022, an undercover Suffolk County Police Department detective recovered 11 bottles from the trash outside Heuermann's home, docs say.

In February 2023, a forensic lab was able to match one of the DNA profiles from the bottles to the same mitochondrial haplogroup as the female hair found on the victim, according to the docs.
 
“Rex Heuermann was a seasonal employee at Jones Beach State Park in [the] summer of 1981 and from 3/05/82 through 10/24/84,” the department said in a statement.


Jones Beach is near Gilgo Beach. Maybe a local can tell us some more info about the beaches.

I'm a local and I'm from Rex's town. all of these beaches are on the barrier island, accessible by causeway. I go to jones beach often. Its a state park, while Gilgo is a town beach, making it much smaller and only members of certain towns can park there. There is no parking along Ocean Parkway. Oak Beach (private) is closer to Robert Moses. RM is also a state park and huge. In between Oak beach and Gilgo Beach are two more beaches, Overlook and Cedar. All of the beaches are super crowded on weekends, have restaurants, volleyball etc. Gilgo has 4x4 access though. But you need a 4x4 truck to drive on the sand or you absolutely will get stuck. Let me know if you need anymore info, the maps online are awful lol.
 
Bingo. Lots of moms in the 50s sent their kids out to play and weren't necessarily aware of what they were doing outside alone or with friends.
Well, he would've been a kid in the 70s (born in the 60s) but the same holds true. I grew up on the 70s and we were completely unsupervised when playing outside and running the neighborhood.

Any suspicions on all of the undeveloped land in South Carolina(or is it North?) near his brother? MOO I can’t even write what I am suggesting, bcz it’s too gruesome.
I live in South Carolina and although it has nothing to do with his case. I think this case is along the lines of what You are suggesting Lee Roy Martin - Wikipedia

Thank you, so the DNA evidence connects his wife to the crimes. Is there DNA evidence connecting him to the crimes?
 
New article in The NY Times — I gifted the article so it shouldn’t be behind a paywall

Apparently the family paid for groceries with food stamps, which is interesting considering RH had his own pretty successful architecture firm.

In Gilgo Beach Slayings, a Wife Nearby but Apparently Unknowing - NY Times

<snipped & BBM>
Cashiers at the supermarket knew them as a quiet, cheerless family that shopped several times a week. Ms. Salmeri said she watched their children grow up over the past 25 years. One thing remained constant, she said: Mr. Heuermann never accompanied them.

“He never came with them,” she said. “I’m not sure what that says about them.”

[RH’s wife] looked depressed, Ms. Salmeri said, and the family often paid with food stamps, unusual at this store.

[…]

The Mustos, like other neighbors, called Mr. Heuermann’s family reclusive and enigmatic. On a tight-knit block, they did not socialize. Their unkempt house stood out almost as an extension of their nature.

To Ms. Musto, [RH’s wife] did not seem concerned with appearances either. “It could be middle of the afternoon and she looked like she just rolled out of bed,” she said.

I’m friendly with everybody around here but she didn’t talk to anyone,” Ms. Musto said.
This makes me sad, tbh.
 
The hair was associated with the belt used to bind one victim and tape used to bind another victim. It’s in the exhibit presented at court for bail hearing. My take is if items come from someone’s home, especially tape, there is always a possibility there will be some trace materials from the home. People shed hair all the time and it flies around in the air without being noticed. Of course, it could be more sinister, like he bound his wife in some kind of either agreeable or unagreeable “sex game” and that’s how the hairs got on the items. Could the freak have been playing out some of his sadistic rape/murders on his wife and she didn’t even know the significance?

I highly doubt she did that because he only did the murders when she was out of town. I suspect he HID EVERYTHING from her.

Love the local info. Thanks!
 
Does this sound weird, that he might have planted his own wife's hairs on the bodies.
For some weird reason ?
I mean what if it wasn't an accidental transfer of the hairs.
What if he meant to put one of his wife's hairs on at least three bodies.
 
It is south. And it would be about a 10 hr drive.
If you go on judyrecords and search RH, a speeding tic for the state of VA shows up from 3/14/12…would that have possibly been on a trip to SC? Any missing SW from around that time period? I couldn’t find the city, county, municipality for the ticket, but maybe someone else can.

Yes, one male hair was found on Waterman determined to be same maternal haplogroup as Rex Hauermann's. HOWEVER, the phone information is very compelling, including selfie photos that he used for his fake online accounts and the burner phones associated with them.

it is possible, god knows what goes on in his head. however, it think it’s much more likely that the victims bodies picked the hair up while he had them in his house. thats an interesting point i hadn’t thought of tho.
