Summary

When Rex Heuermann was arrested in connection with the Gilgo 4 murders, Suffolk County Law Enforcement explained how DNA corroborated evidence they'd gathered along Ocean Parkway.

Host, Chris Mass, speaks with Cynthia Cale, a forensic DNA expert, about the benefits and challenges in using DNA and a number of other questions related to its role in the Heuermann case.
