New Gilgo Beach Victim Images Released

The Gilgo Beach Task Force has released new facial reconstructions of a previously unidentified victim referred to as 'Asian Doe,' whose remains were found in 2011. The victim, a biological male of likely south Chinese descent aged between 17 and 23, was found wearing women's clothing and may have been a sex worker. Authorities hope the new images, developed by forensic anthropologists, will help identify the victim, as traditional DNA methods have been unsuccessful due to a lack of Asian DNA in databases. Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney emphasized the importance of identifying the victim to provide closure to those who knew him. Rex Heuermann, charged with the murders of six female victims in the Gilgo Beach cases, has pleaded not guilty to all charges. The task force is working with the NYPD and other agencies to distribute the new images in Asian communities.
