RIVERHEAD, N.Y. -- Suspected Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann is scheduled to return to court Wednesday on Long Island. The 61-year-old is charged with the murders of seven women dating back to the 1990s .

Rex Heuermann’s attorney said in court Wednesday that the DNA technique used by a lab to allegedly link Heuermann to the Gilgo Beach serial killings is essentially “magic,” not science, and should be thrown out as evidence in the Long Island case.
