Rex Heuermann has been charged with the death of Valerie Mack , whose remains were first found 24 years ago .

A hunter's dog discovered Mack 's decapitated body in a wooded area of Manorville on Long Island on Nov. 19, 2000 .

The rest of Mack 's remains were found more than a decade later , in April 2011 , along Ocean Parkway near Gilgo Beach , authorities said.

Prosecutors said they linked Mack 's death in part through a mitochondrial DNA analysis of a female hair found on Mack 's body.
