Why Is Rex Heuermann's Wife Asking For 300 Guns Back?

Why Is Rex Heuermann's Wife Asking For 300 Guns Back?

Could the wife of an alleged serial killer be tone-deaf to the unfolding tragedy or is she hiding something more sinister? This question looms large in the latest episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," where Tony Brueski delves into the murky waters of the Long Island serial killer case, with special guest, Defense Attorney and host of the podcast Defense Diaries, Bob Motta.

The central figure of discussion? Asa Ellerup, the estranged wife of Rex Heuermann, the man under the scanner for the Long Island serial killings. In a twist that's baffled many, Ellerup is fighting to reclaim the 300 guns confiscated by law enforcement from their home, arguing they're marital property worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Brueski captures the absurdity of the situation succinctly, “We're talking about your husband being accused of being the Long Island serial killer, and you want guns back from your house, which may have been used in a crime?" Motta, sharing Brueski's skepticism, questioned the reasonability of such a request, pointing out, "Law enforcement is not going to care that she wants the guns so that she can sell them. They’ve got bigger issues.”

Brueski and Motta's discussion dives deeper than just the firearms. They paint a picture of a woman seemingly oblivious or indifferent to the gravity of the crimes her husband is accused of. Brueski notes her behavior as being "almost tone-deaf" to the surrounding trauma. He expresses disbelief at her lack of empathy and sympathy towards the victims, an attitude far removed from what one might expect of someone in her situation. Instead of showing solidarity with the grieving families, Ellerup has embarked on a public plea for financial support, even starting a GoFundMe to secure funds.

This approach to the media circus surrounding her is what has set alarms ringing for Motta. Drawing a comparison to past significant others of serial killers, Motta notes, “With this one, I just don’t know. If she wasn’t saying anything, my opinion would probably be she had no idea. But the more she talks, the more it's like... It’s like the more she talks, the more I think she might’ve been complicit, had knowledge.”

The fact that Ellerup has captured almost as much media attention as her husband, the alleged serial killer, is a point both Brueski and Motta find puzzling. Motta articulates his discomfort, saying, "It gives me a really weird feeling about her. It’s not the same vibe that I get from any other survivor family member.”

The pair also touched upon past cases, including that of Carol, wife of a previous serial killer, who seemed far removed from the crimes her husband committed. Brueski emphasized the perplexity in Ellerup's situation, musing about how spouses might react upon discovering the dark secrets of their other halves: “How didn't the wife know? What did you think he was doing?”

Concluding the discussion, Motta underscores the role of legal counsel in such situations. He opines that if he were Ellerup's attorney, he'd advise caution and discretion, especially given the gravity of her husband's alleged crimes. "At the end of the day, it could turn some eyes towards you,” warns Motta, underscoring the potential repercussions of her continued public behavior.

As the case continues to unravel, one can't help but wonder: Is Asa Ellerup merely an unsuspecting partner caught in a whirlwind, or is there more to her story than meets the eye?

17: Did Rex Heuermann Abuse His Family?

17: Did Rex Heuermann Abuse His Family?

On the latest episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, host Tony Brueski and forensic psychologist Kate Wallinga delve deeper into the mind and environment of alleged Long Island serial killer, Rex Heuermann, providing a perspective that humanizes the individuals inadvertently trapped in the life of a supposed murderer.   Wallinga suggests that while it's easy to assume that Heuermann's family was abused or manipulated, it's crucial to distinguish between abuse and family culture. Drawing on her personal experiences, she shares that issues or problems within a family may remain unspoken for generations, creating a culture of silence that can prevent family members from recognizing troubling signs in the case of Heuermann, his wife's swift decision to file for divorce after his arrest suggests a similar family culture, where unusual behaviors were overlooked or normalized.   The topic of family culture is particularly resonant for Wallinga, who reveals that she severed ties with her clinically narcissistic mother only after she reached the age of 40. The toxicity in their relationship was normalized to the point where it was considered just "her being her." As such, the seemingly 'normal' behavior within families can often hide damaging actions or attitudes, further complicating the detection of potential criminal behaviors.   Speaking of the overall case, Wallinga shared her insights into why the murders remained unsolved for so long. She believes that the sex work aspect of the victims played a significant role in the delayed resolution. Moreover, the challenges in obtaining timely DNA results, especially in the past, contributed to the extended investigation period. This delay, coupled with the alleged killer's choice of victims less likely to attract immediate attention, helped maintain his anonymity for a prolonged period.   When discussing potential systematic failures, Wallinga acknowledges the possibility of other victims in different states based on Heuermann's travel history and potential mimicry of infamous serial killer Israel Keyes's approach. Keyes was known for his strategy of continuously changing his methods and targeting victims that would not draw much attention.   By exploring the intricate dynamics within Rex Heuermann's family and the broader systematic issues at play, Brueski and Wallinga's discussion highlights the complex layers behind a serial killer case. The podcast reminds listeners of the pervasive blindness within families and communities and underscores the importance of vigilance in spotting the abnormal within what seems to be 'normal.' Their discussion reminds us that understanding and acknowledging these hidden killers is the first step in ensuring justice for the victims and their families.

20: Rex Heuermann's Wife "Wanna take pictures, Go ahead … Don’t talk to me."

20: Rex Heuermann's Wife "Wanna take pictures, Go ahead … Don’t talk to me."

After nearly two weeks since the shocking arrest of the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer, Rex Heuermann, his devastated family finally returned to their home in Massapequa Park, Long Island. The once-familiar dwelling had been converted into a nightmarish crime scene as police collected evidence in their investigation of the heinous acts tied to Heuermann.   Asa Ellerup, Heuermann's wife, along with their two children, Victoria, aged 26, and Christopher, aged 32, arrived at the property at around 10.30 am. Their faces were etched with solemn expressions, marking the grief and trauma that had come upon them so unexpectedly. Accompanying the distressed family was their faithful canine companion, returning to a home now overshadowed by terror and uncertainty.   The family's last public sighting was in a Best Buy parking lot where Asa initiated divorce proceedings from her husband, now branded a suspected murderer. As they set foot back into their home for the first time since the news of Heuermann's arrest, Suffolk County detectives were by their side, leaving the premises within an hour.   Asa was seen clutching a black handbag tightly, perhaps holding onto a semblance of normalcy in her world that had been turned upside down. Victoria, her daughter, was also seen carrying a blue water bottle, a bag, and a notebook. Their family home, which they had shared with Heuermann, their husband and father, respectively, for more than a decade, was now a chilling reminder of his horrific deeds.   Emotions ran high as Christopher sat on a bench outside the property with his overwhelmed mother. The solemn duo was briefly disrupted when Christopher ventured outside to take their dog for a walk. Meanwhile, multiple cats that resided in the property were taken into care during their absence.   Heuermann, aged 59, was arrested on July 13th outside his office building in Manhattan, charged with the murder of three escorts and disposing of their bodies at Gilgo Beach. The unfolding of these chilling events had left the family blindsided, according to their lawyer Robert Macedonio. He revealed, "Obviously this has been a shocking time for them and a pretty difficult time to comprehend." The investigation led police to conduct a thorough search of the property, lasting 12 days. They uncovered a soundproof room underneath the home, a discovery that heightened the spine-chilling atmosphere of the case. They seized the family's passports, computers, phones, and iPads as part of the investigation, leaving no stone unturned. It was revealed that the police had found a "tremendous amount of information" during the search, which included the assistance of cadaver dogs.   As part of the ongoing investigation, Heuermann is also being probed for six other murders, whose victims' bodies were discovered at Gilgo Beach in 2011. Heuermann's arrest has sparked not just a media frenzy but also an influx of curious onlookers, turning the quiet neighborhood into a buzz of activity. This has upset the local residents, who are apprehensive about the situation worsening once the police conclude their investigation. Authorities have responded by maintaining 24-hour surveillance and warding off unwanted visitors.   As the Heuermann family attempts to reconcile with their altered reality, authorities are tirelessly connecting the dots in the investigation. Detectives are revisiting unsolved murders across the country, interviewing jailed sex workers who interacted with him, and exploring the possibility of Heuermann's involvement in any unsolved killings in four states - New York, Nevada, South Carolina, and New Jersey Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
