Asa and the Daughter: Will Accused Gilgo Killer Heuermann’s Family Take the Stand?

Asa and the Daughter: Will Accused Gilgo Killer Heuermann’s
Family Take the Stand?

“New to court” isn’t “made up yesterday.” With Jennifer
Coffindaffer, we translate the court-approved hair
genome sequencing into plain English: what it shows, what it
can’t do, and how to explain it without turning jurors into lab
techs. Expect the defense to yell “junk science”; expect
prosecutors to answer with validation, protocols, and
conservative takes that land.

We walk the “household hair” tightrope—finding family hairs on
burlap sacks is eye-catching, but transfer and secondary transfer
are real. The job is to explain significance without implying
guilt by osmosis. Then we talk about the witnesses closest to Rex
Heuermann—could his daughter testify? Would Asa sit out or take
the stand? Immunity, exposure, credibility—how those choices look
from the jury box matters.

And yes, the calendar. Discovery fights, expert disclosures,
possible added counts—2027 isn’t dramatic; it’s realistic. The
joinder win gives the state runway. Landing the plane will take
clean science, credible witnesses, and pacing that respects juror
skepticism.
