Prosecutors are renewing their push to identify an Asian man whose remains are considered part of the Gilgo Beach homicide investigation, Suffolk DA Ray Tierney said.

In the aftermath of convicted Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex A. Heuermann’s sentencing to life in prison without the possibility of parole, Tierney told Newsday that investigators plan to visit Asian communities in the NYC region, seeking DNA samples to help identify the man whose skeletal remains were discovered near Ocean Parkway in 2011.

"We're trying to identify that individual through investigative genetic genealogy, which means we’ve got to get more information about the gene pool," Tierney said. "Once you know who the person is, you could go back to their life at the last point, just before them disappearing, and develop leads from there."
