Billy Baldwin discloses his Long Island Gilgo Beach murder suspect connection
foxnews.comActor Billy Baldwin disclosed his bizarre connection to the suspect charged in the unsolved Gilgo Beach murders on Long Island, in a candid post to his social media. "Shocked to learn this morning that the Gilgo Beach serial killer suspect was my high school classmate Rex Heuermann," the 60-year-old wrote.
The men attended Berner High School in Massapequa, New York – both graduates of the class of 1981."Mind-boggling," Baldwin wrote. "Massapequa is in shock." "23andMe strikes again," the "Gossip Girl" actor continued in his caption.
One user asked Baldwin to expand, interested in what a reference to the popular genetic testing service meant in connection to the case.
He wrote back, "When people allow their 23 and me DNA results to be posted publicly it can often resolve a cold case crime or paternity issue because they can link someones (sic) child or niece or nephew to a suspect by their 23 and me results." Police previously shared that they were able to match DNA from a pizza Heuermann ate to genetic material found on a woman’s remains, which led to his arrest on Thursday.
