“He Saved Us” — Or Did He? Gilgo Killer's Wife, Asa Ellerup's Love Story Examined by FBI Profiler In Segment 2 of our deep-dive into the Gilgo Beach case, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke turn their focus to the beginning — the origin story of Asa Ellerup and Rex Heuermann's relationship. What started as an act of kindness during Asa's divorce quickly evolved into a lifelong partnership built, perhaps, on imbalance. She was young, vulnerable, in need of support. He was strong, stable, and offered her something she desperately craved: a sense of family and emotional safety. But beneath that surface — according to experts and prosecutors — may have been something else entirely. Robin Dreeke examines the early dynamics of Asa and Rex's bond, including key psychological indicators of emotional grooming, dependency, and how empathy can be weaponized by manipulators. Using real behavioral science and decades of field experience, Dreeke breaks down why Rex may have been drawn to Asa—not out of love, but for how perfectly she fit into the hidden life he needed to maintain. We also explore the concept of “lack of curiosity,” a recurring behavioral trait Dreeke believes allowed Rex to operate in plain sight. This episode dissects key parts of the Peacock documentary that showcase Asa's perspective on her marriage, the home they shared, and the vault of secrets that sat quietly beneath their feet. If you're interested in the psychological mechanisms predators use to stay hidden—and the painful cost to the people closest to them—this segment offers a hauntingly clear window into how it all begins.

Rex Heuermann's Wife SHOWS OFF Secret Rooms She Was BANNED From Entering | "Nothing Was Off Limits" This footage will make you question everything about denial and control. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott analyzes the most contradictory statements ever captured as Rex Heuermann's wife gives a tour of rooms she was BANNED from entering while claiming "nothing was off limits." Watch as Asa Ellerup shows us: The gun room with a STEEL DOOR and combination lock The "secret room" under the stairs she couldn't access for 27 YEARS The basement where prosecutors believe women were murdered Her dismissal of murder planning documents as "Dexter style" fiction Most disturbing: She demonstrates these locked spaces while insisting Rex kept no secrets. This is "doublethink" - holding two contradictory beliefs simultaneously. Key psychological insights: Why Asa closes her eyes when confronted with evidence How she was the "4th person in 30 years" to enter the gun room Her claim investigators are "picking, picking, picking" to create a narrative The childhood bedroom where murders allegedly occurred How denial can override physical locked doors in your own home This isn't just about one woman's denial - it's about recognizing control patterns: ✓ Locked rooms you can't enter ✓ No access to finances ✓ Complete isolation from support ✓ Normalized abnormal behavior Victoria Heuermann now believes her father is "most likely" guilty. Asa continues visiting him weekly, maintaining his innocence despite DNA evidence linking him to seven murders. #RexHeuermann #GilgoBeachKiller #AsaEllerup #TrueCrime #LockedRooms #SerialKiller #PsychologicalAnalysis #BodyLanguage #Denial #LongIslandSerialKiller Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

10 Signs Alleged Gilgo Beach Killer, Rex Heuermann's Family Missed — Behavioral Analysis from the FBI In this gripping first segment, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—former chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—joins Tony Brueski to explore the disturbing paradox at the center of the Gilgo Beach case: How did Rex Heuermann's family not know? Asa Ellerup, Rex's longtime wife, has become one of the most controversial figures in the case—not because she's accused of anything—but because of what she didn't see. In this episode, Dreeke walks us through her emotional profile, behavioral patterns, and the psychological traits that may have made her the perfect partner for a man allegedly living a double life. We examine key footage from Peacock's The Gilgo Beach Killer: Secrets of a Serial Killer and discuss the FBI's view of how people like Heuermann are able to manipulate those closest to them. Dreeke explains how serial predators often seek out partners who lack curiosity, who prioritize stability over questions, and who are more likely to rationalize away red flags in the name of love or loyalty. Is Asa a victim herself? Was she chosen for her trust, her dependence, or simply her desire to believe the best in someone? This segment breaks down not just her words, but her behaviors, her relationships, and the life she thought she was living—until the knock on the door that changed everything. If you've ever wondered how evil hides in plain sight, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.

"I Finally Got Him, He's Mine" - Rex Heuermann's Wife STILL Worships Accused Gilgo Beach Killer This might be the most disturbing analysis of denial ever captured on film. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins me to decode footage from the Peacock documentary that reveals how Rex Heuermann didn't just hunt his victims - he carefully selected and groomed his own wife as the perfect enabler. We examine Asa Ellerup's transformation from vulnerable 18-year-old to devoted wife who STILL calls Rex her "hero" despite overwhelming evidence linking him to seven murders. This goes beyond simple denial - we're witnessing a trauma bond so powerful it's created an alternate reality. Shocking revelations include: How Rex allegedly killed Sandra Costilla BEFORE marrying Asa in 1996 Every murder occurred when Asa took the family to Iceland Rex monitored all devices and controlled every penny for 27 years Asa had NO access to bank accounts when he was arrested She took $1 MILLION for the documentary while victims' families struggle Daughter Victoria now creates "disturbing artwork" processing trauma The basement where women allegedly died is where Asa "still feels Rex" Most chilling: Prosecutors found Rex's murder planning document from 2000 with notes about "maintaining normal appearance." Was marrying Asa part of the plan? Was she chosen specifically because she'd never question, never suspect, never see? This isn't just one woman's denial - it's a masterclass in how predators identify vulnerability and create enablers who'll defend them even against DNA evidence.

Secrets Behind the Gilgo Beach Documentary! #gilgo Beach #asa ellerup rex heuermann The Peacock documentary depits the wife of Rex Heuermann as not believing he had any involvement in the Gilgo Beach Murders. Asa Ellerup professes her love for Rex Heuermann and says he is her hero. Rex's daughter says she now believes her father is the Gilgo Beach serial killer.
She Called Him 'Hero' While He Allegedly Killed 7 Women: FBI Expert Analyzes Asa Ellerup's Denial Description: In one of the most psychologically complex aspects of the Gilgo Beach murders case, Asa Ellerup continues to stand by her husband Rex Heuermann, calling him her "hero" despite charges he murdered seven women. She describes visiting him in jail as feeling like "a first date" - nervous and excited. Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke provides unprecedented analysis of this profound denial and what it reveals about trauma, love, and the human capacity for self-deception. While daughter Victoria has concluded her father is "most likely" the Gilgo Beach killer after seeing overwhelming evidence, Asa tours the basement where prosecutors allege murders occurred and dismisses the theory as "absolutely absurd" and "Dexter-style." This stark family divide offers a real-time case study in how different people process the same devastating information. Dreeke, former head of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Program, explains the psychological mechanisms behind such powerful denial: trauma bonding, cognitive dissonance, and the mind's protective ability to reject information that would shatter one's entire worldview. He discusses how 27 years of marriage create a "truth infrastructure" that's almost impossible to demolish, even when faced with damning evidence including DNA links, a murder planning document, and trophy collections. The conversation delves into the broader implications for anyone who's ever wondered "Would I know?" Dreeke reveals why intelligent, observant people can miss signs of deception from those closest to them, and what this case teaches us about the difference between healthy trust and dangerous denial. He also addresses the financial and emotional factors that might influence Asa's public stance, including her battle with cancer without insurance and participation in a controversial documentary. This episode is essential listening for anyone grappling with betrayal, those supporting family members in denial, or anyone seeking to understand how love can blind us to terrible truths.

Shocking Confession! Daughter Thinks Her Dad Is the Gilgo Beach Killer #Asa ellerup #VicrtoriaEllerup #rexheuermann In a shocking turn of events Victoria Ellerup believes that her father Rex Heuermann is the Gilgo Beach serial killer. Asa Ellerup still believes Rex Heuermann her husband is innocent, and her hero. Asa Ellerup received 7 figures for appearing in the Peaccock documentary.
Living With a Serial Killer: FBI Expert Explains How Rex Heuermann Hid 7 Murders From Family Description: How does a man accused of brutally murdering seven women over three decades hide such horrific crimes from the family sleeping under the same roof? In this eye-opening interview, former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, who led the Bureau's Behavioral Analysis Program, breaks down the sophisticated psychological mechanisms that allow serial killers to compartmentalize their lives. Rex Heuermann, a 61-year-old Manhattan architect, allegedly maintained two completely separate existences - devoted family man in Massapequa Park by day, predator hunting vulnerable women by night. His wife of 27 years, Asa Ellerup, continues to support him, while his daughter Victoria now believes he's "most likely" guilty. This family divide offers a unique window into how deception operates in long-term relationships. Dreeke explains the concept of "truth-default state" - why spouses detect lies at only 50% accuracy, essentially no better than a coin flip. He reveals how environmental factors like suburban normalcy and professional success create cognitive dissonance that prevents family members from recognizing warning signs. The discussion covers specific patterns Heuermann allegedly used: only killing when family was out of town, using multiple burner phones, and maintaining strict operational security that ultimately failed him. Drawing parallels to other cases like BTK killer Dennis Rader, Dreeke provides crucial insights for listeners about red flags in relationships: secretive technology use, unexplained absences, compartmentalized friendships, and subtle personality shifts. He addresses the haunting question every family member asks: "How did I not know?" This episode is particularly valuable for women concerned about relationship safety, offering practical advice on when privacy becomes concerning secrecy and how to strengthen intuition without becoming paranoid. Dreeke's expertise in trust assessment and human behavior provides listeners with tools to protect themselves while understanding the complex trauma faced by families of accused killers.

Living With a Serial Killer: FBI Expert Explains How Rex Heuermann Hid 7 Murders From Family Description: How does a man accused of brutally murdering seven women over three decades hide such horrific crimes from the family sleeping under the same roof? In this eye-opening interview, former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, who led the Bureau's Behavioral Analysis Program, breaks down the sophisticated psychological mechanisms that allow serial killers to compartmentalize their lives. Rex Heuermann, a 61-year-old Manhattan architect, allegedly maintained two completely separate existences - devoted family man in Massapequa Park by day, predator hunting vulnerable women by night. His wife of 27 years, Asa Ellerup, continues to support him, while his daughter Victoria now believes he's "most likely" guilty. This family divide offers a unique window into how deception operates in long-term relationships. Dreeke explains the concept of "truth-default state" - why spouses detect lies at only 50% accuracy, essentially no better than a coin flip. He reveals how environmental factors like suburban normalcy and professional success create cognitive dissonance that prevents family members from recognizing warning signs. The discussion covers specific patterns Heuermann allegedly used: only killing when family was out of town, using multiple burner phones, and maintaining strict operational security that ultimately failed him. Drawing parallels to other cases like BTK killer Dennis Rader, Dreeke provides crucial insights for listeners about red flags in relationships: secretive technology use, unexplained absences, compartmentalized friendships, and subtle personality shifts. He addresses the haunting question every family member asks: "How did I not know?" This episode is particularly valuable for women concerned about relationship safety, offering practical advice on when privacy becomes concerning secrecy and how to strengthen intuition without becoming paranoid. Dreeke's expertise in trust assessment and human behavior provides listeners with tools to protect themselves while understanding the complex trauma faced by families of accused killers.

Is the Gilgo Beach Case Finally Solved? #GilgoBeach #RexHeuermann #asaellerup Asa Ellerup, and Victoria Ellerup are interviewed in the documentary 'The Gilgo Beach Killer House of secrets." Asa Ellerup, Rex Heuermann's wife still believes Rex is innocent, his daughter Victoria thinks he is guilty. We sift through the interviews and the exploitation of Asa and Victoria, and await the trial of Rex Heuermann.
Big Breakdown - Alleged Gilgo Beach Killer's Wife Calls Her Husband Rex Heuermann, A 'Hero' This explosive episode examines the shocking public statements made by Asa Ellerup, wife of accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann, in which she refers to her husband as a "hero" despite the mounting evidence against him. Our expert panel analyzes this unexpected development in one of Long Island's most notorious criminal cases, exploring the psychological and legal ramifications of such public support from a suspect's spouse. We delve into the complex dynamics of Ellerup's relationship with Heuermann, examining how she could maintain such a positive view of her husband while he faces charges for multiple murders. Our forensic psychologists discuss the phenomenon of cognitive dissonance in partners of accused criminals, exploring how spouses can compartmentalize information and maintain denial even in the face of overwhelming evidence. The episode features insights from relationship experts who explain the psychological mechanisms that allow partners to support accused killers. The legal implications of Ellerup's statements are thoroughly examined, including how her public support might impact jury selection, potential testimony, and the overall prosecution strategy. We discuss whether her statements could be used in court and how they might affect public perception of the case. Our legal analysts explore the precedent set by other high-profile cases where family members have publicly supported accused serial killers. Additionally, we investigate the timeline of the Gilgo Beach murders and Heuermann's alleged involvement, providing context for why Ellerup's statements are so significant. The episode includes discussion of the evidence against Heuermann, including DNA matches, cell phone data, and witness testimonies that led to his arrest. We examine how Ellerup's portrayal of her husband contrasts sharply with the prosecution's depiction of him as a calculating predator who terrorized Long Island for over a decade. This comprehensive analysis helps viewers understand the complex family dynamics at play in this disturbing case. #GilgoBeach #RexHeuermann #AsaEllerup #SerialKiller #LongIslandSerialKiller #LISK #TrueCrime #CourtTV #CriminalPsychology #GilgoBeachMurders #JusticeForVictims #SerialKillerCase #BigBreakdown #NewYorkCrime #CriminalJustice Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What Secrets Are Hiding in the Gilgo Beach Case? #rexheuermann #gilgo#serial killer What secrets will be revealed in the Peacock documentary in regards to Rex Heuermann's wife Asa Ellerup? Does Asa really believe that Rex is innocent. It is clar that Virgina Ellerup believes her father is guilty, and so does his best friend.
Gilgo Beach Killer's Wife Claims He's INNOCENT - Five Psychological Red Flags She IGNORED Rex Heuermann's wife Asa Ellerup finally breaks her silence in the explosive Peacock documentary "The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets," revealing disturbing details about the secret basement room that prosecutors say held the key to understanding the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer. In this comprehensive breakdown, we analyze the most chilling revelations from Asa's testimony about the hidden chamber in their Massapequa Park home that contained over 300 firearms and featured a combination lock that only Rex could access. The Gilgo Beach murders have captivated true crime audiences since Rex Heuermann's arrest in July 2023, but Asa Ellerup's perspective adds a psychological dimension that's both fascinating and deeply troubling. Despite overwhelming DNA evidence, digital forensics linking Rex to torture pornography, and over 200 computer searches about the Gilgo Beach case, Asa maintains her husband's complete innocence. Her detailed descriptions of their daily routines, Rex's whereabouts during the alleged murder timelines, and her explanations for the secret basement room reveal the complex psychology of denial in extreme circumstances. This video examines the ten most disturbing details Asa revealed about their home life, including the basement room's true purpose, Rex's gun collection, and the family dynamics that allegedly allowed a serial killer to hide in plain sight for decades. We'll explore the forensic evidence that contradicts Asa's timeline, analyze the psychological mechanisms behind her unwavering support, and discuss what her testimony means for Rex Heuermann's upcoming trial. From trauma bonding to willful blindness, Asa Ellerup's story raises profound questions about how well we really know the people closest to us. Her revelations about the secret room, combined with her steadfast defense of Rex despite mounting evidence, make this one of the most psychologically complex cases in recent true crime history. #GilgoBeachKiller #RexHeuermann #AsaEllerup #TrueCrime #SerialKiller #GilgoBeachMurders #PeacockDocumentary #CriminalPsychology #ForensicEvidence #TrueCrimeDocumentary Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rex Heuermann's Wife Calls Serial Killer Husband Her 'Hero' - 5 Most Disturbing Quotes From New Documentary The Gilgo Beach serial killer case has taken a shocking turn with the release of Peacock's documentary "The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets," featuring the first-ever interviews with Rex Heuermann's family. In this deep dive analysis, we examine the most disturbing revelations from Asa Ellerup, the estranged wife of the accused Long Island serial killer who stands charged with seven murders spanning nearly two decades. Rex Heuermann, the 61-year-old Manhattan architect arrested in July 2023, faces overwhelming evidence including DNA samples, hair fibers from family members found on victims, cellphone data placing him near crime scenes, and a chilling planning document detailing alleged murders. Despite this mountain of forensic evidence, his wife Asa Ellerup maintains unwavering support, calling him her "hero" and "savior" throughout the documentary. The legal implications of this documentary are staggering. Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney has warned that Ellerup's participation will affect her credibility, especially given reports that the Heuermann family received approximately $1 million for their cooperation. This has prompted New York legislators to propose expanding Son of Sam laws to prevent family members from profiting off criminal notoriety. We analyze the psychological aspects of Ellerup's denial, her description of prison visits feeling like "first dates," and her insistence on returning to live in the Massapequa Park home where murders allegedly occurred. The documentary reveals the devastating aftermath of police searches, including over 200 firearms found in a basement vault and structural damage throughout the property. The Heuermann children, Victoria and Christopher, share their perspectives on living with an accused serial killer, while legal experts warn that statements made in the documentary could potentially be used as evidence in Rex's upcoming trial. This case intersection of true crime entertainment, legal strategy, and family trauma raises serious questions about justice, exploitation, and the ethics of profiting from alleged serial murder. Join us as we break down every shocking detail from this controversial documentary and examine what it means for one of America's most notorious serial killer cases. #GilgoBeachKiller #RexHeuermann #SerialKiller #TrueCrime #LongIslandSerialKiller #AsaEllerup #GilgoBeachMurders #Peacock #Documentary #CriminalJustice Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Asa Ellerup, estranged wife of accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann, has decided to vacate their longtime Massapequa Park residence. The decision follows extensive police searches that left the home significantly damaged and a loss of emotional attachment to the property.

Asa Ellerup, estranged wife of accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann, has decided to vacate their longtime Massapequa Park residence. The decision follows extensive police searches that left the home significantly damaged and a loss of emotional attachment to the property.

Was Rex Heuermann Framed? Asa Ellerup Thinks It's Possible After Watching Gone Girls So the ex-wife of the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer just watched a Netflix docuseries and now she's wondering if her former husband is the fall guy in one of the most disturbing serial killer cases in recent history. Asa Ellerup, who was married to Rex Heuermann for nearly three decades, isn't exactly screaming conspiracy theory from the rooftops—but after finishing Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer, she's raising an eyebrow, maybe two. And honestly, when you dig into the history of corruption inside Suffolk County law enforcement, she might not be completely out of line to ask, “Wait… what if?” Let's start with the dirty laundry, because Suffolk County has more than a few skeletons in its own closet. James Burke, the former police chief, is now best remembered not for solving cases, but for going full WWE on a suspect who had the audacity to steal a duffel bag filled with porn and sex toys from his police-issued vehicle. Burke beat the guy, tried to cover it up, and got slapped with a 46-month prison sentence. Meanwhile, then–District Attorney Thomas Spota, instead of investigating Burke, allegedly helped sweep it all under the rug. He was eventually indicted for obstruction, corruption, and witness tampering. All of this—the beatdown, the porn bag, the cover-up—would be hilarious if it weren't so grotesquely real. Ellerup's legal team is now asking a very real question: if this is how Suffolk County handled its own mess, how can we trust anything in the case against Heuermann? Ellerup, who divorced Heuermann not long after his arrest, is reportedly keeping a close eye on his court proceedings, including the ongoing Frye hearing, which could determine whether the DNA evidence against him even makes it to trial. At the heart of the debate is a forensic method called “whole genome sequencing,” which sounds like something out of CSI: Space Edition. The defense calls it “magic,” prosecutors call it science. Dr. Kelley Harris, a highly respected geneticist from the University of Washington, spent an entire day testifying about how the process works and why it's legit. In layman's terms, it's a super-detailed way of matching DNA, and in this case, hairs found on the victims reportedly tie back to Heuermann or people close to him—like Ellerup and her children. Prosecutors claim these hairs were recovered from the remains or crime scenes of six of the seven victims. That's not small stuff. It could be the linchpin of the entire case. But again, the defense is arguing that this method has never been tested in a New York courtroom and shouldn't be trusted until it's vetted through the proper legal channels. Now, a brief rewind on the horror show that is the Gilgo Beach murders. From 1993 to 2011, a string of women—most of them sex workers—vanished after meeting clients. Their bodies were eventually found dumped in remote spots along Ocean Parkway. Some were bound. Some were dismembered. Many were discovered in pieces, scattered between different sites. It was like Long Island's own version of a true crime nightmare. Heuermann, a 61-year-old architect who looked more like a guy you'd call to fix your kitchen backsplash than a suspected serial killer, was arrested in July 2023. He's been charged with the murders of seven women so far: Amber Costello, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Sandra Costilla, Jessica Taylor, and Valerie Mack. He's pleaded not guilty to every single one. And in a move that feels more like legal strategy than desperation, his defense is now asking the court to split the case into five separate trials. The Suffolk County DA's office insists there's no evidence the Heuermann family was involved. They were reportedly out of town during the alleged murders. But proximity and DNA are still in the spotlight. And then there's Netflix, adding fuel to the fire with Gone Girls. Directed by Liz Garbus, who also made Lost Girls based on the 2013 book by Robert Kolker, the series shifts focus from the killer to the victims—their families, their stories, and how the system repeatedly failed them. It doesn't exactly paint Suffolk County in a golden glow. Quite the opposite. And for Ellerup, it was enough to make her question whether her ex-husband was being thrown under the bus by a system with a very shaky track record. She's not denying the tragedy of the crimes. Her attorneys made it clear she extends her sympathies to the victims' families. But she also wants justice to be rooted in truth—not corruption, not cover-ups, and not convenience. For someone who shared a home, children, and a life with the accused, it's personal. Whether Heuermann is a monster hiding behind a suburban life or just a man caught in a very dark chapter of county corruption remains to be seen. But the courtroom drama is far from over. The judge still has to decide on the DNA evidence. And if you ask Asa Ellerup, that decision might just decide everything. #GilgoBeach #RexHeuermann #TrueCrimeNetflix #AsaEllerup Want to listen to ALL our podcasts AD-FREE?

What happens when a home's dark history becomes impossible to ignore? Rex Heuermann's Long Island residence, once an unassuming house in a picturesque neighborhood, now carries the grim weight of alleged horrors. With whispers of a basement “torture dungeon” and the unsettling debate surrounding Asa Ellerup's lingering presence in the home, the story only grows stranger. Asa's reluctance to finalize her divorce, her participation in a documentary, and even the presence of her emotional support dog at court hearings raise questions about her state of mind and the choices she's making.

The Massapequa Park home of alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann will soon stand empty as his estranged wife, Asa Ellerup, prepares to relocate. Ellerup, whose 30-year attachment to the house was shattered by its connection to the investigation, has decided to move to South Carolina to begin a new chapter. Her attorney, Robert Macedonio, explained Ellerup's reasoning, stating, “To start the healing process, she wants to move on.” He also shared that Ellerup's adult children, whom she shares with Heuermann, plan to eventually join her in South Carolina. Ellerup filed for divorce shortly after Heuermann's arrest in July 2023. Heuermann, a 60-year-old architect, was charged in connection with the killings of four women whose bodies were discovered in burlap sacks along Ocean Parkway more than a decade ago. These victims—Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Amber Lynn Costello, Melissa Barthelemy, and Megan Waterman—were found during the 2010 search for Shannan Gilbert, whose death in a nearby marsh was later ruled accidental. Earlier this year, prosecutors announced Heuermann's involvement in two additional murders: Jessica Taylor in 2003 and Sandra Costilla in 1993. The home itself has been central to the investigation. In the summer of 2023, federal agents conducted an intensive search of the property, with Macedonio previously noting a focus on the basement. Investigators recovered a cache of weapons, paint chips, and a large rectangular object covered in a blue cloth. Macedonio declined to disclose what evidence was collected but confirmed the family was out of state during the initial search. A subsequent search of the home in May brought renewed attention to the case. Investigators placed additional materials into evidence bags, further linking the property to the long-unsolved killings. Despite the upheaval, Macedonio clarified that the house is not for sale at this time. For Ellerup, the decision to leave represents an opportunity to move beyond the trauma of her husband's alleged crimes. "She has lost her attachment to the house," Macedonio said, emphasizing her determination to rebuild her life. Heuermann remains in custody as legal proceedings continue, and the Massapequa Park home—a quiet, single-story residence in a Long Island neighborhood—now stands as a chilling reminder of the case that has gripped the nation. #GilgoBeachMurders #RexHeuermann #AsaEllerup #TrueCrime #LongIsland #ColdCaseSolved #FreshStart Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss two cases where children died after being left unattended in the heat. Justin ‘Ross' Harris and his wife Leanna had been having marriage troubles for years. They were trying to stick it out, despite Ross' having numerous affairs. The couple had one child together, Cooper. In June 2014, Ross texted one of the women he had been seeing and said "I need an escape. I love my son and all but we both need an escape.” Later that day, Ross took Cooper to breakfast and was meant to drop him off to daycare. After driving for a mile, Ross somehow forgot that Cooper was in his car seat. Ross parked the car in direct sunlight, got out of the vehicle and went into work. Seven hours later, after internal temperatures in the car reached around 125f, Ross left work and drove off. Minutes later, he realized what he had done. Cooper was dead in his car seat. Ross was charged with malice murder, two counts of felony murder, cruelty to children in the first and second degree, criminal attempt to commit a felony and dissemination of harmful materials to minors. Many of these charges stemmed from Ross' inappropriate communications with underage females that he engaged in sexting with. Ross was convicted in 2016. He was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole plus 32 years. However, in 2024, Ross was released from prison. A court ruled that there should have been separate trials for the murder charges and the sex-crime charges and his convictions were overturned. Read our blog for this case In the second case, we discuss the death of 4-month-old Tanna Rae Wroblewski. Tanna Rae was allegedly left alone on a boat in 121f heat on the July 4th weekend this year. Her parents were said to be swimming and cooling off. When they returned to check Tanna Rae some time later, she was bleeding from the ears. The baby was transported to hospital where she passed from heat-related conditions. There is an investigation into the baby's death ongoing.
