Attorney: Ex-wife of Rex Heuermann putting on a show in documentary
(NewsNation) — Asa Ellerup, the ex-wife of accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann, has defended his innocence in a new documentary released on streaming platform Peacock. In 'The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets,' a three-part documentary, Ellerup is a central figure along with her and Heuermann's daughter, Victoria. Ellerup referred to Heuermann as 'her hero' despite the pair divorcing shortly after his arrest two years ago, and that she had 'fallen in love with him all over again.' Victoria Heuermann, on the other hand, has said she believes her father is 'most likely' the Gilgo Beach serial killer. Authorities believe they spotted ex-soldier Travis Decker, who is wanted in deaths of 3 daughters John Ray, the attorney for the family of victim Shannan Gilbert, said Ellerup's statements are all about posturing herself to show she had no involvement in the killings. 'This is all for show, and she's being paid a lot of money to put on a show,' Ray said. 'She and her daughter are doing very well at that. This is all fake and her statements are informed by that fakery.' Heuermann is accused of killing a total of seven women, whose bodies were among several found on Long Island, New York. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Heuermann is due back in court June 17 as a judge continues to weigh whether to allow key DNA evidence into the trial. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

'Very similar. Exactly, to be honest with you. Stamped with the serial number, imprinted with the Glock 19 on the slide. The only difference was the air cartridge in the magazine holder instead of a magazine,' Chief Turner explained. According to police, two of the five people who approached the young boy had guns. The one that was seized by police was in the hands of a teenager. One of them allegedly searched the victims' pockets and asked the value of the victims' belongings.
