Long Island Serial Killer | The Trial Of Rex Heuermann

Rex Heuermann's Wife: Bizarre Behavior or Something More?


Listen Later

When criminal activities unfold, the spotlight often falls on the perpetrator. However, sometimes it veers, illuminating the shadowy figures surrounding the central character. In the curious case of Rex Heuermann, accused of heinous crimes, it's not just him but also his estranged wife, Asa Ellerup, who's now grabbing headlines.
 
Rex Heuermann's story is a web of accusations involving countless crimes against sex workers, but it's Asa's recent plea that's left many baffled. Attorney and former Federal prosecutor, Neama Rahmani, shared his shock on the "Hidden Killers" podcast with host Tony Brueski, exclaiming, “I couldn't believe it, Tony, when I first read it. I'm like, this has to be a joke, right?”
 
 For those uninitiated, Asa Ellerup is demanding the return of nearly 300 guns seized from their family home. Citing them as marital property, she argues they're worth hundreds of thousands. The issue? Her husband is embroiled in a major investigation, and these weapons may well serve as crucial evidence. Tony aptly puts it, "There's no guidebook to it, but there is just human decency."
 
 Rahmani questioned Ellerup's seemingly oblivious behavior, pointing to the lack of empathy displayed towards the victims of her husband’s alleged crimes. He goes on to detail the bizarre nature of their household - the decrepit condition of their house which many feel should be condemned, her constant altercations with the press, and her persistent legal endeavors to reclaim the aforementioned weapons.
 
 But the depth of Heuermann’s arsenal is what particularly unnerves Rahmani. From Uzis to Tommy guns, many of these weapons not only breach New York's stringent gun laws but also hint at a deeper, more sinister narrative. As Rahmani puts it, “If she didn't know that her husband was involved in killing sex workers, I have a very hard time believing that she didn't have knowledge that he was at least seeing them and engaged in other shady activity.”
 
 Ellerup’s defense seems fragile at best. Claiming to be out of town every time her husband committed a crime doesn’t exactly sit well. While Rahmani clarifies he isn’t accusing her, he insists that “if she was getting good advice, she would really sort of keep her mouth shut.”
 
 The deeper question might be, is Asa Ellerup's audacious behavior a sign of sheer ignorance, or is there an underlying story yet to be unveiled? While the court of public opinion may already be casting its verdict, it's evident that this tale has more layers to be unfurled.
 
 It begs the ponderous question, in cases so intricately woven with darkness and deception, can we ever truly discern the bystanders from the perpetrators?
