It's all about control..
They have houses and houses of his DNA to compare… Toothbrushes, combs, underwear, socks, beds, you name it, his DNA is all over the place. I'm not sure they need a cheek swab, but I'm sure they will get it eventually. But they already have his DNA far beyond a pizza crust today.
Interesting to hear Ted Bundy describe the burial sites that way: Fred West always said the ghosts of his victims came up into his body when he was showing the police the burial sites. It does seem to have a 'spiritual' angle for them. Maybe it's the last way they establish control.
The pizza crust dna was sufficient until it wasn't.
if he wasn't guilty he wouldn't be fighting it.
He has to eat and drink in prison !
There you go all the DNA you need 🤣🤣🤣🤣
NY needs to change their DNA law, ridiculous LE cant obtain a swab unless a person is convicted
This lady is annoying as if she knows the truth. Typical news
Most states provide the requirement for a DNA sample upon being charged. NY State law requires a conviction for a DNA sample, unless you comply. Screwed up state law. However, you can charge Heuermann with illegal weapons charges, get a conviction before the murder trial starts, and then swab him.
Would you give your DNA? NO does he have to give his DNA? Nope
Bundy wasn’t a teacher! How can you be shocked covering crime for a living and knowing what Bundy was. SHOCK! Gtfo
😂if he want to drag out the pain, be my guest , if he did the crimes, it will get him a life jailsentence, eventually 😂 the era of never detected killers is over, Dna is King
Why if hes innocent.??
If he is innocent why fight against it ?
That is crazy. Does he have a choice?
WoW Ash that says alot… Him denying DNA SWABS
Too bad , so sad… DNA CAN BE TAKEN
a person does not prove innocence. The government proves guilt, dumb woman.
yeah Rex bc u did it 😅
Those Serial Killers are really different…
That’s so scary…
You never know when you meet one🤔
Gary Ridgway pled guilty for the murders of 48 people… That’s a lot of souls 😢🙏🏼
…das ist aber quasi ein Eingeständnis, dass er Angst hat seine DNA abzugeben 😅
Honestly who cares already. Defense is going to have him protect himself as much as possible like any good attorney would do. No surprises here.
The pine barrens in New Jersey not New York.
She forgot the Texas dumping grounds in low part of the state
Lol what about the Riverside Ca Orange Grove you know what happened in 1996
POS full of crap defense attorney, I have no respect
skip to 3:14 to get past Ashley’s babbling.
The Pizza box trash can wasn't sacred ground, but that was probably the best pizza place around….just ask the locals!
Show me you know your client's guilty without telling me he's guilty
When you won't let 'em get a DNA swab, as far as I'm concerned, it's damned near an admission of guilt. If you were innocent you'd be begging them to take a DNA swab.
They must have taken his toothbrush?
How did police get Asa Ellerup´s DNA? They said they found her hair on three of the bodies. They got Rex Heuermann´s DNA from a pizza crust, we know that. But how did they get hers?
Oh madan Banfield is back. Again speculative dissection
Are you implying that don't use those spots as dump base in case there are similar happenings in future ?
Rex really needs the name of the 'Pizza Crust Killer' considering how we now see the Pizza crusts are so important in this case
E
This is very confusing to me because I had heard weeks ago that the DNA on the pizza crust was already matched to him. The Suffolk County Police Department waited for him to put his garbage out at home, they took the garbage and got the whole families DNA samples from water bottles, etc. which is how they were able to match the wife’s hair on the victim’s bodies. Now they’re asking for his DNA again? This makes no sense.
“Leakin” park?!? 😂😂
New York law doesn't require DNA unless you are convicted of a felony. This law really hampers police and investigators trying to solve these kind of cases.
The DNA sequence was not complete from the pizza crust so they want a properly collected sample. The problem is the state of NY where you have to be CONVICTED first before they can get your DNA without your consent. So only person that can make Rex give it up is the Judge. Crazy law does nothing to protect the innocent.
This host is insufferable. I can see why CNN stuck her in a broom closet trying to get rid of her.
I’m surprised she didn’t mention the pine barrens south jersey, that was a big dumping ground for a lot of NY mobsters.
What if an inmate still refuses to give DNA? Do they forcibly take it?
An innocent man would be the 1st one to offer anything they need to exclude him from the crimes he´s accused so his lawyers attempts to get DNA out say everything there is to know imho.
IF HE HAS NOTHING TO HIDE, WHY NOT GIVE IT?
HE’S CLEARLY WANTING TO HIDE SOMETHING, IMO.
ASHLEY, I THINK YOU COULD BE RIGHT ABOUT THE NIGHTSTALKER & THOSE PHOTOS.
SICKENING TO EVEN THINK ABOUT WHAT THOSE POOR WOMEN WENT THROUGH & THE TWISTED MIND OF THE ONES WHO DID WHAT THEY DID. THEY’RE THE ONES WHO DESERVE TO SUFFER WITH PTS. OMITTING THE ‘D’ BECAUSE FOR THEM IT ISN’T A DISORDER.
There's many ways his DNA could be taken WTF 😒
Is it an additional crime to not give a swab
The defendant shall not be forced to provide the prosecutors with nothing that may incriminate the defendant and tha includes his DNA. Remember that he got arrested because of a DNA on the pizza scrap, but the problem with that is, that the investigators don't know if he was discarding that pizza box for someone else or if someone else had pizza from that box. If they have his DNA from the box of the pizza, why do they need his DNA again? They collected a lot of what they called evidence but so far, they don't even know how they die or where they die, and they found nothing in his house and more importantly they don't have a confession. he doesn't have to provide his DNA because he cannot be a witness against himself and if they take it while he is in custody without his permission, then is a violation of his constitutional rights.
