When I read the latest article, I had to wonder if the writer understands the complexity of the mtDNA found via AE's hairs on the bodies vs the autosomal DNA of the cheek swab. Maybe take the story with a grain of salt unless we know exactly how things were worded. Yes, the hair DNA is old news. However, if recent advancements have been able to identify more DNA from the hair -- then that is massive news.
He pretty much admitted RH's guilt with a statement like that imo.
And he is 100% correct in saying this is nothing new. AE's hair could have been transferred from the house, a shared vehicle, a jacket, anywhere really. My husband found one of my hairs in the men's room at his place of business. Obviously, I have never been in there.Anyone else kinda stunned that Asa's lawyer Macedonio said this?
Curious if he already had shared his opinion with Asa of just how her hairs got on the remains of 2 victims that her husband is now charged with killing?
Talk about throwing Rex under the bus.
"Her DNA has been confirmed as matching hairs found on the burlap that victims were wrapped in, a law enforcement source told ABC.
Ellerup’s lawyer, Robert Macedonio, told The Post Thursday that her DNA being found on the scene is “nothing new” and that it was more than likely from a “hair transfer inside the house.”
Suspect Rex Heuermann’s estranged wife’s cheek swab matches DNA found on victims: report
A cheek swab was taken from Asa Ellerup on the night her husband was arrested. That sample now matches the DNA found on hair strands on the victims.nypost.com
I’ve wondered if she didn’t rehash that night in her mind, 100s of times over the years, not only because it was traumatic or unsettling but perhaps it was a factor significant to an end or beginning of the end of her relationship with the NYC officer. That would explain remembering so many details of that night. Or, for all we know, she kept a journal and the details were documented at the time.
To quote "Forest-Wood"
Swinger statement gives more facts implicating the Detective than RH or AE (most of the facts in statement about house and occupants was public by time she talked).
I’m of the opinion that the actions of that night have tormented her for years. Perhaps, she is willing now, to implicate everyone involved.

You're right!
Yes this is the case for me too. And then with Mr. Harrison announcing his departure……… (sad face on here)
Does anyone know anything about the portrait ?
Original, copy off the internet, print?
Anything?
Prosecutors listed it on his July 14, 2023 Bail Application but the search/seize of Heuermann's house had not taken place yet.

"Officials uncovered more than 200 firearms, a large doll in a glass case, a large portrait of a woman with a bruised face and a filing cabinet from Heuermann’s home.

Thank you, I'll look for it on the thread."Cops removed a disturbing portrait of a blond woman’s face with dark pupils and bruising below the eyes from the suspects’ house." There is a pic of it in the post article.Gilgo Beach investigators remove creepy portrait of battered woman from Rex Heuermann’s home
The disturbing artwork taken by police Monday features a blond woman’s face with dark pupils and bruising below the eyes.
We discussed this back in July so there is prob good info back in the threads then. My opinion is it was perhaps done by the daughter - she was into art and IIRC got a degree in art/illustration. She had a website with her art work that was taken down shortly after this came out. I saw the website before it was de activated and it had similar types of art work - probably a "goth" phase - which would not be odd for someone her age. I don't remember that there was further reference to it in msm but there could have been, JMO and interpretation
Based on just his internet searches alone, he is a sadist! And this was in 2021/22/23. Imagine all he was up to in between the known killings and his arrest. MOO
The point is, Asa's own attorney is suggesting that Rex brought Asa's hair from their house to a crime scene. Yes, the prosecutors have stated the same way back in July. Yes, the prosecutors have the burden of proof.
