Asa Ellerup's Peacock Payday from LISK Murder's May Plunder

Asa Ellerup's Peacock Payday from LISK Murder's May Plunder

In a recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," host Tony Brueski and guest Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent, delve into the controversial documentary deal involving Asa Ellerup, the wife of accused Long Island serial killer Rex Heuermann. This development has triggered a fierce debate over the ethical implications of profiting from crime-related stories, leading to calls for an expansion of the Son of Sam law. The law, initially designed to prevent criminals from profiting off their crimes, may soon encompass family members of the accused.

Asa Ellerup's involvement in a Peacock Network documentary, produced by 50 Cent and G Unit Productions, has raised significant concerns. The documentary crew's intention to follow Ellerup and capture her side of the story has been met with backlash. The community of Long Island, still reeling from the impact of Heuermann's alleged crimes, views this as a potential monetization of a tragedy. The proposed legislation aims to close a loophole that currently allows family members to profit from such situations, and attorney John Ray, representing some of the victims' families, strongly supports this move.

Dreeke points out the complex nature of this case. While there's a general consensus to support the victims' families, Ellerup's situation as the wife of an accused serial killer places her in a unique position. Dreeke suggests that the documentary could inadvertently harm Rex Heuermann's case, potentially leading to new leads and evidence through Ellerup's interactions and statements captured on film.

The debate intensifies with the comparison to Kerri Rawson, the daughter of the BTK killer, who has used her experience for victim advocacy. Unlike Rawson, Ellerup's actions and the documentary deal come across as self-serving, further complicating the public's perception of her motives.

Bob Motta, a defense attorney and host of the podcast "Defense Diaries," provides further insight. He notes the legal and financial implications of Ellerup's documentary deal, especially since she remains married to Heuermann, potentially entitling him to a share of the profits. This situation challenges the boundaries of the Son of Sam law, highlighting the need for careful consideration in its application.

The conversation also touches upon the responsibility of the media and documentarians in such sensitive cases. Motta emphasizes the importance of intent in these scenarios, questioning whether Ellerup aims to contribute positively like Rawson or is merely seeking financial gain.

In conclusion, the "Hidden Killers" episode raises critical questions about the intersection of crime, media, and ethics. As the legal proceedings around the Son of Sam law expansion continue, the public is left to ponder the fine line between advocacy and exploitation, and whether laws can effectively navigate these murky waters.

Donna Adelson’s Collapse, Kohberger’s Meds EXPOSED & Rex Heuermann’s DNA Bombshell

Donna Adelson’s Collapse, Kohberger’s Meds EXPOSED & Rex Heuermann’s DNA Bombshell

Donna Adelson’s Collapse, Kohberger’s Meds EXPOSED & Rex Heuermann’s DNA Bombshell The true crime headlines this week read like a three-act tragedy. We begin with Donna Adelson, who just spent her first weekend as a convicted murderer. Cameras caught her courtroom “collapse”—but was it really collapse, or the same manipulation tactic she’s used her entire life? Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us to unpack why Donna’s outward, audience-scanning “shock” didn’t play, how fear and control ruled her family for decades, and why the jury likely returned so fast. We dive into the psychology of the “look” and the family trauma-bonding that made the Adelsons implode in plain sight. Then we pivot to Bryan Kohberger. Newly released photos from his apartment and office offer strange insight—a birthday card from his mom, a smiley face echoing on his office door, disorganized chaos clashing with his “OCD” diagnosis. But the real reveal? A drug code hidden in paperwork pointing to levothyroxine, a thyroid medication that, if mismanaged, can amplify agitation, obsession, and instability. Pair that with his autism, OCD, ADHD, and ARFID diagnoses, and you get a profile of someone rigid, fixated, and increasingly unmoored. These conditions explain quirks, not murder. The choice to kill was his alone—but the context is chilling. Finally, the Rex Heuermann case turns a corner. After years of silence, DNA is officially in. A discarded pizza crust tied him to hairs on burlap sacks that wrapped the Gilgo Beach victims. The science? Whole-genome sequencing—a new, court-admitted method that can pull profiles from even hair without roots. Defense cried “never used before.” The judge said, “there’s always a first.” Now, the path to trial is clearer, and the odds of Rex walking away grow slimmer by the day. Three cases. Three collapsing facades. Donna, Bryan, Rex. Each revealing that control, denial, and obsession don’t hold forever.

Gilgo Beach Trial Showdown: DNA Bombshell Looms in Rex Heuermann Case

Gilgo Beach Trial Showdown: DNA Bombshell Looms in Rex Heuermann Case

Gilgo Beach Trial Showdown: DNA Bombshell Looms in Rex Heuermann Case The Rex Heuermann case is barreling toward a major inflection point—and July 17 might just decide everything. In this episode, we break down exactly what’s about to go down in court, where the accused Gilgo Beach serial killer faces a pivotal Frye hearing on the admissibility of the prosecution’s DNA evidence. The stakes? Nothing less than the forensic backbone of the entire case. At issue is the use of cutting-edge whole genome sequencing, a method prosecutors say conclusively links hair found on victims to Heuermann and his family. The defense is calling it “magic,” arguing it’s too new and untested for New York courts. If the judge agrees, Heuermann could dodge one of the strongest scientific ties between him and the seven women he’s accused of murdering. But if the evidence is allowed? Heuermann's defense may be toast. We also explore what else could emerge at the hearing: will more victims be linked? Will previously unseen digital evidence surface from the arsenal of hard drives seized from Heuermann’s home? And how will the court rule on whether the case should be split into multiple trials—or proceed as one massive, media-saturated showdown? Beyond the courtroom, the investigation is still active. With four Gilgo-area victims not yet tied to Heuermann, and rumors of out-of-state connections under review, this story is far from over. We break it all down in plain English—with sharp insight, no fluff, and just enough sarcasm to keep the horror digestible. The courtroom may be dry, but this case? Anything but.
