Forensic Psychologist Joni Johnston On What New Charges May Await Rex Heuermann After NEW Home Raids

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," forensic psychologist Joni E. Johnston discusses the recent second search of Rex Heuermann's former home, where his wife Asa Ellerup and their children still reside. Heuermann is the accused Long Island serial killer, and the authorities previously found hundreds of guns and child pornography in his basement. The renewed search, focusing on the basement, has sparked speculation about what investigators are looking for, possibly trophies or hidden evidence missed the first time. Johnston suggests that new information likely prompted the search, such as testimonies or specific items mentioned by witnesses that need corroboration. The messy condition of the house complicates the search, but certain objects or placements could tie together crucial aspects of the case. Johnston also touches on Asa Ellerup's stance, as she publicly supports Heuermann despite the accusations. The episode delves into the difficulties faced by the family living in the house under continuous scrutiny and the potential implications for Asa and her daughter, who was present during the latest search. Johnston emphasizes the need for specific reasons to obtain a second search warrant and explores the possibility of additional victims linked to Heuermann.
