Las Vegas police to test Rex Heuermann’s DNA for possible connection to young mom’s murder

Police in Las Vegas are testing Gilgo Beach murder suspect Rex Heuermann’s DNA to see whether there is a connection to the unsolved murder of a young mother — with one official pointing to “scary” similarities between the cases.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s lab is performing the “direct comparison” of Heuermann’s DNA and evidence linked to the 2003 slaying of 17-year-old Victoria Camara, according to News12.

The results are expected in six to eight weeks, the outlet added.

The LVMPD did not immediately respond to The Post’s request to confirm this report.

Camara’s remains were found in the early hours of Aug. 11, 2003, by a gravel truck driver in the desert just off a haul road in Boulder City, about 26 miles outside Las Vegas, per the LVMPD’s open cases page.

Her body was identified a few weeks later, and police determined that she was likely killed in Las Vegas proper.

“Somebody took my mom’s life without regard,” Camara’s daughter, Savanah, told News12 this week.

Savanah was barely a year old when her mother was killed, she said.

At the time of her death, Camara was doing sex work to provide for herself and her daughter.

“I just hope it gets us the answers we’ve all been looking for. Honestly, it will definitely help a lot,” Savanah said of the potential link to Heuermann, who was arrested last month and charged with killing three young sex workers on Long Island.

In an interview last month, Camara’s cousin, Kaila Donaldson, told News12 that the family struggled to get attention for the 20-year-old case because of the stigma attached to sex work.

“It’s usually the same runaround of information as soon as you bring up ‘Yes, she’s doing sex work.’ It’s like ‘Well, let us put her to the bottom of the list,’ you know?” Donaldson said.

“She just was thrown like a piece of trash in the desert. It’s terrible. It’s kind of like when you first hear it, it’s unbelievable. It feels like a Lifetime movie.”

Camara, Donaldson added, often spent time at her cousin’s Bergen County home to avoid the chaos of her own, where her father was absent and her mother was gripped by drug addiction.

“She didn’t have any stable environment from day one. But outside of that, she was a super sensitive, humble, generous, just a very sweet soul,” the grieving relative recalled.

“She just did what she had to do to survive, and unfortunately that’s what she was doing,” she added of Camara’s decision to enter the sex work industry.

Shortly after Heuermann’s bombshell Manhattan arrest in July, Las Vegas authorities confirmed they were “aware” and possibly reviewing the architect’s link to similar slayings in Sin City.

Heuermann, 59, owned a timeshare in Las Vegas since around 2004, and traveled to the area semi-frequently, records indicated.

The father of two is suspected of murdering three young women and leaving their bodies in the marshes off Ocean Parkway near Gilgo Beach between 2008 and 2010.

He is also the prime suspect in the disappearance of a fourth victim.

“I do feel that there’s similarities, it’s very scary,”  Suffolk County Sheriff Errol D. Toulon Jr. told News12 this week of the parallels between the Gilgo killings and Camara’s case.

“When you see the deaths, the type of women that were killed, the occupation that they were in … it all resonates to this one particular person.”
