Rex Heuermann's Wife Calls Serial Killer Husband Her 'Hero' - 5 Most Disturbing Quotes From New Documentary
The Gilgo Beach serial killer case has taken a shocking turn with the release of Peacock's documentary "The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets," featuring the first-ever interviews with Rex Heuermann's family. In this deep dive analysis, we examine the most disturbing revelations from Asa Ellerup, the estranged wife of the accused Long Island serial killer who stands charged with seven murders spanning nearly two decades.
Rex Heuermann, the 61-year-old Manhattan architect arrested in July 2023, faces overwhelming evidence including DNA samples, hair fibers from family members found on victims, cellphone data placing him near crime scenes, and a chilling planning document detailing alleged murders. Despite this mountain of forensic evidence, his wife Asa Ellerup maintains unwavering support, calling him her "hero" and "savior" throughout the documentary.
The legal implications of this documentary are staggering. Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney has warned that Ellerup's participation will affect her credibility, especially given reports that the Heuermann family received approximately $1 million for their cooperation. This has prompted New York legislators to propose expanding Son of Sam laws to prevent family members from profiting off criminal notoriety.
We analyze the psychological aspects of Ellerup's denial, her description of prison visits feeling like "first dates," and her insistence on returning to live in the Massapequa Park home where murders allegedly occurred. The documentary reveals the devastating aftermath of police searches, including over 200 firearms found in a basement vault and structural damage throughout the property.
The Heuermann children, Victoria and Christopher, share their perspectives on living with an accused serial killer, while legal experts warn that statements made in the documentary could potentially be used as evidence in Rex's upcoming trial. This case intersection of true crime entertainment, legal strategy, and family trauma raises serious questions about justice, exploitation, and the ethics of profiting from alleged serial murder.
Join us as we break down every shocking detail from this controversial documentary and examine what it means for one of America's most notorious serial killer cases.
