The fact that it was a pizza box and crusts that provided investigators with Heuermann’s DNA that they was then matched to the Gilgo crime scene strikes Ray as suspicious.

The critical piece of evidence had been seized under an FBI warrant by the sheriff’s department in Chester county, South Carolina. On Wednesday, Newsday reported that the vehicle, a green Chevy Avalanche, had been brought to Suffolk police headquarters on a flatbed. “Isolating the department and keeping it away from use of other agencies was a mixture of pride and bureaucratic tradition,” Ray said.
