Is Asa Ellerup Staying With Rex Heuermann To Avoid Testifying Against Him?
In a world where legal intricacies intertwine with chilling criminal allegations, how does the concept of spousal privilege play into the investigation of heinous crimes? This question forms the core of a recent episode of "Hidden Killers," where host Tony Brueski discusses the complex case surrounding alleged serial killer Rex Heuermann with former felony prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis. The conversation delves into the intriguing situation of Asa Ellerup, Heuermann's wife, who has yet to divorce him. Brueski probes whether Ellerup's reluctance to end her marriage could be a strategic move to maintain spousal privilege, potentially shielding her from testifying against Heuermann. Faddis explains, "Typically, in many states, if the couple is married, the wife wouldn't have to testify under oath against her husband." However, Faddis also highlights exceptions to this rule, such as the 'forfeiture by wrongdoing' clause, which could apply if Ellerup had any nefarious involvement in Heuermann's alleged crimes. The discussion also explores the differences between involvement and knowledge in the context of legal responsibility. Faddis points out, "Usually just having knowledge of some wrongdoing doesn't necessarily expose someone to criminal liability," but he also mentions scenarios where knowledge could implicate someone, such as obstruction or involuntary homicide theories. Brueski raises the possibility of Ellerup having knowledge of Heuermann's alleged actions, whether it be his infidelities or more sinister activities. Faddis agrees this is a complex legal area, adding, "If you know that your husband is likely to kill other sex workers because he's done it in the past and you say nothing, does that begin to look like obstruction?" The discussion concludes with speculation about ongoing investigations. Faddis believes prosecutors are likely exploring all avenues covertly, keeping a close eye on Ellerup and her connections. He asserts, "Prosecutors aren't just sitting on their hands; they're probably covertly exploring any investigative avenues they can." As the case against Rex Heuermann unfolds, the role of Asa Ellerup and the application of spousal privilege remain critical areas of interest. With new developments possibly on the horizon, one must ask: What secrets lie behind the veil of a marriage entangled in a web of alleged crimes? Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

How Was Rex Heuerman Allegedly Able To Abuse And Murder So Many For So Long?
Is it possible for a predator to hide in plain sight within a community, evading law enforcement for years? This is the central question in the case against Rex Heuermann, the man accused of being the Long Island serial killer, as discussed on the "Hidden Killers" podcast with host Tony Brueski and former felony prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis. The case has garnered significant attention due to the harrowing testimonies of alleged survivors. In a recent development, two women, Taylor and Mary Poe, have come forward with chilling accounts of their encounters with Heuermann. Taylor, a bottle girl in 2010, claimed she had to use a taser to escape from Heuermann, while Poe alleged she was shot in the neck by him and miraculously survived. Brueski humorously dismisses any notion of mistaken identity, stating, "Rex Heuermann is not a guy that you really would confuse with many other people." Faddis, lending his legal perspective, emphasizes the importance of these testimonies for the prosecution. "They're going to draw parallels, they're going to show overlap, and they're going to tie all of this together in a pattern of behavior for Rex Heuermann over the course of years," he explains. The discussion also delves into the societal factors that may have allowed Heuermann to operate undetected. Faddis points out that predators like Heuermann target vulnerable communities who are averse to law enforcement, making them easy targets. He also notes Heuermann's use of resources, such as burner phones, to cover his tracks. As Brueski and Faddis unravel the complexities of the case, the question of how many other victims might be out there lingers. The podcast sheds light on the grim reality of predators exploiting societal stigmas and legal loopholes. As the case against Heuermann continues to build, one can't help but wonder: How many more stories are yet to be told, and what will it take to bring such predators to justice?

How Many Women Did Rex Heuermann Kill?
Can a series of accounts and testimonies truly capture the essence of a criminal's character? This intriguing question forms the core of a recent "Hidden Killers" podcast episode, where hosts Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent, delve into the chilling accounts surrounding Rex Heuermann. Known for his involvement in the Gilgo Beach murders, Heuermann's character is further scrutinized through new testimonies, shedding light on his alleged depravities and the system's response to such individuals. Brueski introduces two new accounts, one from a woman named Taylor, a nightclub bottle girl who narrowly escaped an assault from Heuermann in 2010. Dreeke, with his expertise in behavioral analysis, is unsurprised by these revelations, describing Heuermann's actions as "pure depravity." He notes that Heuermann's distinctive appearance made him memorable, worsening his situation as more victims come forward. The conversation then shifts to the systemic response to such criminals. Brueski highlights the efforts of Attorney Ray, who is bringing new information to light, often more than the official investigation. They discuss the importance of addressing the victims' families' needs and the challenges in the justice system in dealing with such complex cases. Another account mentioned by Brueski involves Mary Poe, a sex worker who alleged an encounter with Heuermann in 1994, resulting in her being shot. This account, backed by medical records, adds to the growing list of allegations against Heuermann. Dreeke emphasizes the need for thorough investigation, questioning why Heuermann's estranged wife, who is now making a documentary, has not been more scrutinized. The episode takes an interesting turn when discussing Heuermann's mental state in jail. Despite the heinous nature of his crimes, he receives counseling for depression, prompting a debate on the ethics and necessity of providing mental health support to accused criminals. Dreeke sees this as a testament to the quality of the American jail system, while Brueski expresses frustration that such resources are allocated to someone accused of such grave crimes. In conclusion, the episode of "Hidden Killers" brings to light the complex dynamics of criminal behavior, victim impact, and the justice system's role in addressing these issues. It paints a picture of a system striving to balance justice and humanity, even in the face of profound depravity. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Will Asa Ellerup Eventually Be Charged In Connection To Her Husband Rex Heuermann's Crimes?
What secrets can lie in the shadows of a relationship, especially when one partner is a suspected serial killer? This question is the focus of a "Hidden Killers" podcast episode, where host Tony Brueski and guest Bob Motta, a defense attorney and host of "Defense Diaries," discuss the chilling case of Rex Heuermann. Attorney John Ray, representing some of the LISK victims, brings forward detailed affidavits describing Heuermann's alleged violent actions dating back to the 1990s. Accounts from survivors like Taylor, a club bottle girl, and Mary Poe, a sex worker who survived a gunshot from Heuermann, paint a haunting picture of the suspect. Motta compares Heuermann to infamous serial killer John Wayne Gacy, noting their similar predatory behavior and the number of people who narrowly escaped their clutches. "He gives me like the biggest Gacy vibe," Motta observes, emphasizing the grave nature of Heuermann's case. Brueski and Motta delve into why many of Heuermann's alleged victims, mainly sex workers, might not have reported their encounters to law enforcement. Motta suggests that fear of prosecution and societal stigma could have silenced these individuals, allowing Heuermann to continue his alleged crimes undetected. The conversation shifts to Asa Heuermann, Rex's spouse, with Brueski and Motta speculating on her possible knowledge of his activities. They discuss the complexities of spousal privilege in legal proceedings and whether Asa could be compelled to testify against her husband. Motta raises the point, "did the wife know?" highlighting a common curiosity in cases involving married suspects. The episode ends with Motta and Brueski pondering the potential outcomes of the documentary Asa Heuermann is filming. They question whether it could inadvertently reveal incriminating evidence against her or her husband, drawing a parallel to Robert Durst's infamous confession.

How Is Rex Heuermann In-Prison Therapy Going?
Is it possible that the most horrifying tales of human depravity are those hidden in plain sight, involving victims society often overlooks? This question emerges from the latest episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, where hosts Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott delve into the harrowing case of Rex Heuermann, the alleged Long Island serial killer. Heuermann's saga is a chilling narrative of violence and predation, primarily targeting sex workers. Brueski recounts, "More and more evidence continues to mount against Rex Heuermann... Sex worker somehow gets involved, seeing him, meeting him. Either survives or dies." The tales of narrow escapes are harrowing. One such account involves a nightclub bottle girl, who in 2010, had to deploy a taser to escape Heuermann's clutches. Scott emphasizes the grim pattern in Heuermann's alleged crimes, noting the victims' reluctance to approach law enforcement due to their vulnerable status. "These women, they have no reason, I would say, to be coming out and sharing these stories now... But clearly want to get their story heard," Scott observes. This hesitance to report crimes, rooted in stigma and fear, creates a shroud of silence around such atrocities. A striking aspect of the discussion is the contrast between the support Heuermann receives in prison, including counseling for his depression, and the scarcity of resources for his victims and others in similar situations. Scott critically views the prison's approach to Heuermann, describing it as "minimal" and "very superficial." The conversation then pivots to the complexities surrounding confidentiality and crime within the prison system, raising questions about the boundaries of doctor-patient confidentiality in cases involving serious crimes.
