Melissa Moore, the daughter of convicted murderer Keith Jesperson, has initiated a GoFundMe campaign to support Asa Ellerup and her two adult children, who are the family of alleged Gilgo Beach Serial Killer Rex Heuermann. Heuermann was arrested last month and charged with the murder of three women in New York. Melissa's fundraising efforts have already raised over $23,000+ to help the family restart their lives.

 

Suffolk Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison stated that Heuermann's arrest shocked his family, as they were unaware of the double life he was living. Heuermann faces charges of first-degree and second-degree murder concerning the deaths of three women, and he is considered the primary suspect in the murder of another victim.

 

After a thorough 12-day search of their home by investigators, Ellerup's house was left in disarray. While empathizing with Asa's situation, Melissa aims to assist her and her family start anew. The funds raised will be delivered to Ellerup through her divorce law firm, as she filed for divorce from Heuermann last month. The money will be used for basic needs, restoring their home, covering divorce costs, and addressing other unmet needs.

 

Melissa, who understands the trauma experienced by family members of serial killers, has previously spoken out about the shame they carry. She hopes to alleviate some of their burdens and remove any guilt associated with their connection to the perpetrator.
