Police say the Brooklyn Bridge is closed while they investigate an abandoned car.

Traffic in both directions was halted around 6 p.m. Monday. The New York Police Department says the car is midway along the bridge on the Manhattan-bound side.

No further information was immediately available.

A combination of turning to the public and the FBI for help, and using cutting-edge DNA technology helped investigators finally identify Rex Heuermann as the prime suspect in the Gilgo Beach serial murders. NewsdayTV's Virginia Huie has the story.
