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?

A divorce agreement has been established between Rex Heuermann, the alleged Long Island Serial Killer, and his estranged spouse Asa Ellerup, despite Ellerup's belief that her former husband is "incapable" of the crimes for which he stands accused. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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?

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?

The attorney's of Gilgo Beach, who do they represent in this case? #rexheuermann #raytierney #JohnRay #RobertMacedonio #VessMitev #GloriaAllred #michaelbrown An attorney suggested during today's press conference that cannibalism may have been involved in the Gilgo Beach killings. John Ray, who represents the family of Shannan Gilbert, whose disappearance led to the discovery of 10 sets of remains, said the “new and important evidence” regarding Heuermann's family was recently uncovered. Heuermann's estranged wife, Asa Ellerup, filed for divorce in July 2023 after he was charged, but has still shown up at several of his hearings. News of the evidence comes exactly a week after Heuermann, 60, was arraigned on murder charges in the 2003 dismemberment death of Jessica Taylor, 20, and the 1993 death of Sandra Costilla, 28. Ellerup and the couple's two children were out of state at the time of the hearing, according to their attorney, Robert Macedonio, but were expected to be back this week. The Manhattan architect has already been charged with the 2009 and 2010 murders of Megan Waterman, Melissa Barthelemy, Amber Lynn Costello and Maureen Brainard-Barnes — known as the “Gilgo Four.” He pleaded not guilty. Last month, Gilgo Beach Task Force investigators completed a second search of Heuermann's home in Massapequa Park and a search of an area of Manorville.

In a recent press conference, attorney John Ray unveiled chilling details about Victoria Heuermann, daughter of Rex Heuermann, the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer. Ray presented a series of sadistic images created by Victoria that bore eerie similarities to the brutal murders her father has been charged with. Rex Heuermann, a 60-year-old architect, was initially arrested in July 2023 for the murders of four women, known as the "Gilgo Four," whose remains were discovered in burlap sacks along Ocean Parkway over a decade ago. Last week, Heuermann was charged with two more murders, those of Sandra Costilla and Jessica Taylor. Despite the mounting evidence and charges, Heuermann displayed no emotion during his recent court appearances. During the press conference, Ray highlighted several of Victoria's disturbing artworks and re-posted images from her Tumblr account. These images included graphic depictions of dismembered body parts and cannibalistic fantasies, which Ray compared to the alleged methods of the Gilgo Beach murders.  "The evidence that we have suggests that we have been sold a story by the Heuermann family," Ray stated. He emphasized that Victoria, who often appeared innocent in public, had a darker side revealed through her online presence. "Victoria's true self is a very different self," Ray added. Ray suggested that Victoria, now 27, might be linked to some of the murders her father is charged with. He proposed that Victoria could have been surrounded by these gruesome acts and become desensitized, a concept forensic psychologist Dr. Gary Brucato referred to as "normalization." Brucato also mentioned the possibility of Victoria suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, where a victim develops psychological bonds with their captor or abuser. "The jury is out on what this was about," Brucato remarked, noting that about 20% of serial killers operate in groups. He drew parallels to cases like David Parker Ray, the "Toy-Box Killer," who allegedly tortured and killed numerous women with the help of his daughter. Ray further questioned the certainty of District Attorney Raymond Tierney's announcement that hair evidence found on some of Rex Heuermann's victims was transferred by him. Ray speculated that the hairs could belong to Victoria herself, which might "tip the card a little bit." Victoria's mother, Asa Ellerup, and Victoria have both deleted their social media accounts, according to Ray. This move came after Ray's office discovered and revealed seven disturbing images from Victoria's alleged Tumblr blog, which she had failed to erase entirely. Ray displayed one image of a hanged person missing a shoe, a detail eerily similar to the discovery of Sandra Castillo's body. Another image depicted remains that appeared "half-eaten," reflecting the cannibalistic interests attributed to Victoria. Other images showed severed limbs, mirroring the dismemberment found in some of Rex Heuermann's alleged victims. Dr. Brucato compared the Heuermann case to that of John Wayne Gacy, who was initially thought to be a lone wolf but is now believed to have had accomplices. "There is a tendency to think that these people are lone wolves who cannot have connections with other people," Brucato explained. Sherre Gilbert, sister of victim Shannan Gilbert, criticized Ray's press conference on social media, calling it "disrespectful" and urging focus solely on her sister's case. Rex Heuermann's family maintains they were unaware of his double life. Ellerup, who filed for divorce shortly after Heuermann's arrest, continues to assert her estranged husband's innocence. "After 27 years with Mr. Heuermann, Ms. Ellerup maintains the belief that her estranged husband is not capable of committing these heinous acts," stated Ellerup's attorney, Robert Macedonio. As the investigation continues, the revelations about Victoria Heuermann's disturbing artwork and potential involvement in the murders add a new, unsettling layer to the case.

In a recent development in the Long Island Gilgo Beach serial killer case, 59-year-old suspect Rex Heuermann is expected to be indicted on a fifth murder charge this Thursday, according to multiple news reports. Heuermann was previously charged with the murders of Melissa Barthelemy, Amber Costello, Megan Waterman, and Maureen Brainard-Barnes, whose remains were found at Gilgo Beach in December 2010. Although the identity of the fifth alleged victim has not been released, the case highlights the ongoing investigation into the other six sets of remains discovered near Gilgo Beach in 2011. Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney previously stated that authorities are still looking into these cases. As part of their investigation, law enforcement personnel searched the house shared by Heuermann and his wife, Asa Ellerup. During the six-day search, authorities focused primarily on the basement, and various items were reportedly taken from the property. Ellerup's attorney, Bob Macedonio, mentioned that while items were removed from the house, he couldn't discuss the specifics at this time. Heuermann's family claims that investigators ``ransacked" their home, causing considerable damage to their property. The Gilgo Beach serial killer case has left Ellerup's family in turmoil, with the ongoing investigation and the shocking allegations against her husband. District Attorney Tierney's dedication to the case demonstrates the commitment to bringing closure to the families of the victims and addressing the complex questions surrounding the unidentified remains. As more evidence is uncovered and additional charges are brought against Heuermann, the community continues to grapple with the terrifying events that occurred more than a decade ago.

According to sources the couple linked up for the first time since his arrest as he continues to remain behind bars as his case makes its way through the system.Ellerup has come under scrutiny about what she may or may not have known over the years, but law enforcement has said she is not a suspect in the case and they are not looking at her as such.That has not stopped John Ray, attorney for Shannan Gilberts family from continuing to make allegations however, and her making a trip to see Rex in the lockup is sure to raise some eyebrows.In this episode we take a look at the trip to the jail to see Rex and how the optics from that trip really don't look too good for Asa.(commercial at 9:53)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Serial killer suspect Rex Heuermann's wife's jail visit proves illicit cooperation & timing's key, victims' lawyer says | The US Sun (the-sun.com)

Asa Ellerup, the estranged wife of alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann, has reaffirmed her belief in her husband's innocence, according to a statement released by her attorney on Wednesday. Heuermann, a former New York architect, faces charges in connection with the murders of four women whose remains were discovered near Gilgo Beach in December 2010. Despite the severity of the accusations, Ellerup maintains her husband's innocence, regularly visiting him in custody. "I will listen to all of the evidence and withhold judgment until the end of trial," Ellerup stated through her attorney, Bob Macedonio. "I have given him the benefit of the doubt, as we all deserve." Expressing sympathy for the victims and their families, Ellerup emphasized her belief in Heuermann's innocence, stating, "Nobody deserves to die in that manner." Heuermann, aged 60, has been charged with the murders of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Megan Waterman, Amber Costello, and Melissa Barthelemy, all of whom were escorts on Long Island. He pleaded not guilty to these charges. Macedonio explained Ellerup's decision to release a statement, stating that she visited Heuermann several times since the last indictment and wished to reiterate her belief in his innocence. Prosecutors allege that Heuermann's wife and children were out of town when Brainard-Barnes disappeared and was killed, fitting a pattern where Heuermann was allegedly alone when the other three victims were killed. Substantial DNA evidence has been collected in the case since Heuermann's arraignment, including hair found on the belt buckle securing Brainard-Barnes' body, which matched Ellerup's genetic profile. Similar DNA links were found at other crime scenes, involving Heuermann's wife and daughter, who are not considered suspects. Despite these developments, a trial date has not been scheduled for Heuermann, who continues to maintain his innocence. The case has garnered significant attention due to the gruesome nature of the crimes and the subsequent legal proceedings against Heuermann, a father of two who has denied all charges against him. As the investigation continues and legal proceedings unfold, the community awaits further updates on the case, hoping for justice for the victims and closure for their families.

In a world where legal intricacies intertwine with chilling criminal allegations, how does the concept of spousal privilege play into the investigation of heinous crimes? This question forms the core of a recent episode of "Hidden Killers," where host Tony Brueski discusses the complex case surrounding alleged serial killer Rex Heuermann with former felony prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis. The conversation delves into the intriguing situation of Asa Ellerup, Heuermann's wife, who has yet to divorce him. Brueski probes whether Ellerup's reluctance to end her marriage could be a strategic move to maintain spousal privilege, potentially shielding her from testifying against Heuermann. Faddis explains, "Typically, in many states, if the couple is married, the wife wouldn't have to testify under oath against her husband." However, Faddis also highlights exceptions to this rule, such as the 'forfeiture by wrongdoing' clause, which could apply if Ellerup had any nefarious involvement in Heuermann's alleged crimes. The discussion also explores the differences between involvement and knowledge in the context of legal responsibility. Faddis points out, "Usually just having knowledge of some wrongdoing doesn't necessarily expose someone to criminal liability," but he also mentions scenarios where knowledge could implicate someone, such as obstruction or involuntary homicide theories. Brueski raises the possibility of Ellerup having knowledge of Heuermann's alleged actions, whether it be his infidelities or more sinister activities. Faddis agrees this is a complex legal area, adding, "If you know that your husband is likely to kill other sex workers because he's done it in the past and you say nothing, does that begin to look like obstruction?" The discussion concludes with speculation about ongoing investigations. Faddis believes prosecutors are likely exploring all avenues covertly, keeping a close eye on Ellerup and her connections. He asserts, "Prosecutors aren't just sitting on their hands; they're probably covertly exploring any investigative avenues they can." As the case against Rex Heuermann unfolds, the role of Asa Ellerup and the application of spousal privilege remain critical areas of interest. With new developments possibly on the horizon, one must ask: What secrets lie behind the veil of a marriage entangled in a web of alleged crimes?   Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the grim tableau of America's most notorious crimes, the Long Island serial killer case stands as a chilling enigma, weaving a complex narrative of murder, mystery, and unanswered questions. With Rex Heuermann now facing charges for a fourth murder, the case against him grows, yet so does the labyrinth of speculation surrounding his wife, Asa Ellerup, and the validity of her alibis. Tony Brueski, host of "Hidden Killers," alongside retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, delves into these unfolding revelations, challenging the silence and seeking truth amid the shadows. Heuermann, accused of being the malevolent force behind the Gilgo Beach murders, has seen his circle of suspicion inexorably widen. Yet, amidst the accusations and evidence, Asa Ellerup stands, a figure shrouded in controversy and conjecture. Her repeated claim of being "out of town" during the crimes her husband is accused of casts a pall of doubt and raises more questions than it answers. John Ray, an attorney for some of the victims, has been pivotal in casting this doubt, suggesting that Ellerup's timeline may not align as neatly as presented. Coffindaffer weighs in on Ray's persistence, understanding his drive to peel back the layers of this case, revealing the depth of its complexity and the potential complicity or ignorance of those closest to Heuermann. The conversation between Brueski and Coffindaffer illuminates the meticulous investigative work that has led to Heuermann's charges, yet it also highlights the glaring absence of scrutiny towards Ellerup. Despite her maintaining distance and seeking evidence in court, the lack of a thorough interrogation by authorities remains a conspicuous gap in the investigative process. This absence of scrutiny fuels speculation and demands a closer look into the dynamics of the Heuermann household during the years these heinous acts were committed. The duo discusses the implications of DNA evidence, particularly the strands of hair belonging to Ellerup and her daughter found on the victims, and the complexities it adds to the case. While not directly implicating her in the murders, this evidence thrusts her into an uncomfortable spotlight, challenging the narrative of ignorance she has maintained. As Brueski and Coffindaffer navigate the murky waters of this case, they confront the broader implications of Ellerup's alibis and the potential knowledge she might have harbored about her husband's activities. The discussion pivots to the broader societal and psychological implications of living alongside evil, questioning how much one can truly know about their partner's darkest secrets. Ellerup's situation, encapsulated by her continued legal marriage to Heuermann and her ambiguous stance on the evidence against him, epitomizes the complex web of human relationships entangled in criminal investigations. Her insistence on out-of-town alibis, backed by some evidence yet questioned by victim advocates like Ray, underscores a narrative fraught with tension and uncertainty. As the "Hidden Killers" episode unfolds, it becomes clear that the Long Island serial killer case is far from closed, with each development unearthing more questions than answers. The pursuit of justice for the victims and their families remains paramount, yet the path to such justice is cluttered with obstacles, not least of which is the enigmatic figure of Asa Ellerup. In closing, the discussion between Brueski and Coffindaffer leaves listeners pondering a critical question: In the shadow of monstrous deeds, how deep does the circle of knowledge—or complicity—extend? And as the investigation continues to unravel, will the true extent of this horror ever come to light, or will some secrets remain buried, obscured by the sands of Gilgo Beach? As the Long Island serial killer case continues to evolve, the quest for answers persists, a testament to the enduring need for closure and the relentless pursuit of truth in the face of darkness.

In the dark and twisted saga of the Long Island serial killer, a new chapter unfolds, raising more questions than answers. Rex Heuermann, already linked to three gruesome murders on Gilgo Beach, now faces charges for the murder of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, a 25-year-old whose life was tragically cut short. The case, which has haunted the community and baffled investigators for years, seems to grow more complex with each passing day. Tony Brueski, host of the podcast "Hidden Killers," delved into these latest developments with Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent. Their conversation shed light on the intricate investigation that led to Heuermann's latest charge. Dreeke expressed his astonishment at the meticulous work of the investigative team, highlighting the immense effort and detailed analysis that went into linking Heuermann to the victims through DNA evidence. The case against Heuermann is strengthened by mitochondrial DNA evidence and recent nuclear DNA testing, which Dreeke discussed with cautious optimism. "The immense, intense amount of fantastic investigative work... is pretty incredible," Dreeke remarked, underscoring the significance of having two separate labs independently verify the DNA evidence linking Heuermann to the victims. However, the case is not just about the pursuit of justice for the murdered; it also casts a shadow of doubt over Rex Heuermann's family members, particularly his wife, Asa Ellerup. Her repeated alibi of being 'out of town' during the times of her husband's alleged crimes has become a focal point of scrutiny. Attorney John Ray, representing some of the victims' families, has been vocal about questioning the validity of Ellerup's alibi, further complicating the narrative surrounding the case. Brueski and Dreeke pondered the implications of such alibis and the potential knowledge Ellerup might have had regarding her husband's deviant behaviors. The conversation ventured into the psychological complexities of living with a person capable of such heinous acts, considering how Ellerup's repeated absence during the murders could either be a mere coincidence or a more sinister aspect of their marital dynamic. Despite the mounting evidence against Heuermann and the swirling suspicions around his family, many questions remain unanswered. Why hasn't Asa Ellerup been more rigorously questioned? What did she truly know about her husband's actions? And most importantly, how deep does the rabbit hole go in this horrifying case? As this investigation continues to unfold, the community and the families of the victims hold onto hope for answers and justice. Yet, the case of the Long Island serial killer serves as a grim reminder of the complexities and challenges inherent in solving such deeply disturbing crimes. The conversation between Brueski and Dreeke not only highlights the progress made but also underscores the painstaking journey still ahead in uncovering the full extent of this nightmare. In a world where the truth is often stranger and more terrifying than fiction, the Long Island serial killer case continues to intrigue and horrify in equal measure. As investigators peel back the layers of this macabre mystery, one cannot help but wonder: What other secrets lie buried on Gilgo Beach, waiting to be unearthed?

In the ever-evolving saga of the Long Island serial killer, new developments continue to cast a long shadow over the truth, challenging perceptions and demanding a deeper investigation into those closest to the accused, Rex Heuermann. The latest chapter unfolds as Tony Brueski, host of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, delves into the complex narrative surrounding Heuermann's wife, Asa Ellerup, and the persistent scrutiny from attorney John Ray, a vocal advocate for the victims' families. As Heuermann faces charges linking him to the heinous acts on Gilgo Beach, attention turns once again to Ellerup, whose alibis and actions—or lack thereof—have become a focal point in the court of public opinion and investigative interest. The couple's history, intertwined with the timeline of the murders, paints a picture of enigma and potential complicity that begs further examination. John Ray's persistence in highlighting discrepancies in Ellerup's whereabouts during the crimes has brought to light questions that demand answers. His "gumshoe" efforts have unearthed details that suggest the narrative presented by Ellerup and her legal representation may not be as cut-and-dry as it appears. With each new piece of evidence or contradiction revealed, the need for a thorough investigation into Ellerup's role, knowledge, or absence becomes increasingly apparent. Joining Brueski in this latest discussion is Shavaun Scott, a psychotherapist and author, whose insights into the psychological underpinnings of the case add depth to the conversation. Scott underscores the importance of scrutinizing Ellerup's claims and the mental health aspects that could play a role in her behavior and responses to the allegations against her husband. The discourse around the credibility of Ellerup's alibis—bolstered by bank statements and hotel records—raises significant questions about the standard of evidence and investigation in such a high-profile case. The reliance on financial transactions as proof of innocence in the face of a series of brutal murders seems insufficient and simplistic, prompting a call for more comprehensive investigative measures. Amid the swirling allegations and investigations, the dynamic within the Ellerup household, especially in light of a documentary crew's presence, becomes a point of speculation. Scott posits that Ellerup's behavior, marked by a lack of empathy for the victims and aggressive reactions to law enforcement's actions, may hint at underlying mental health issues. This perspective sheds light on the complexity of her character and the potential impact of such factors on the case. The public's fascination with the case, coupled with the media's attention, has placed Ellerup in a unique position. Yet, her seemingly indifferent stance toward the gravity of the situation and the absence of a proactive approach to clear her name or express solidarity with the victims' families adds layers of suspicion and intrigue. As Brueski and Scott peel back the layers of this intricate case, the conversation underscores the necessity of a deeper dive into Ellerup's involvement, knowledge, or indifference regarding her husband's alleged crimes. The call for a more detailed examination of her alibis, mental health, and overall behavior is a testament to the complexity of human psychology and the intricacies of criminal investigations. In closing, the discussion leaves listeners with a lingering question: In the shadow of unspeakable horror, what truths remain hidden within the walls of the Ellerup household, and how will the unfolding investigation bring these secrets to light? As the Long Island serial killer case continues to unfold, the search for clarity, justice, and understanding presses on, challenging investigators, commentators, and the public to look beyond the surface and confront the unsettling depths of human nature and criminality.

In the dark and twisted saga of the Long Island serial killer, a new chapter unfolds, raising more questions than answers. Rex Heuermann, already linked to three gruesome murders on Gilgo Beach, now faces charges for the murder of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, a 25-year-old whose life was tragically cut short. The case, which has haunted the community and baffled investigators for years, seems to grow more complex with each passing day. Tony Brueski, host of the podcast "Hidden Killers," delved into these latest developments with Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent. Their conversation shed light on the intricate investigation that led to Heuermann's latest charge. Dreeke expressed his astonishment at the meticulous work of the investigative team, highlighting the immense effort and detailed analysis that went into linking Heuermann to the victims through DNA evidence. The case against Heuermann is strengthened by mitochondrial DNA evidence and recent nuclear DNA testing, which Dreeke discussed with cautious optimism. "The immense, intense amount of fantastic investigative work... is pretty incredible," Dreeke remarked, underscoring the significance of having two separate labs independently verify the DNA evidence linking Heuermann to the victims. However, the case is not just about the pursuit of justice for the murdered; it also casts a shadow of doubt over Rex Heuermann's family members, particularly his wife, Asa Ellerup. Her repeated alibi of being 'out of town' during the times of her husband's alleged crimes has become a focal point of scrutiny. Attorney John Ray, representing some of the victims' families, has been vocal about questioning the validity of Ellerup's alibi, further complicating the narrative surrounding the case. Brueski and Dreeke pondered the implications of such alibis and the potential knowledge Ellerup might have had regarding her husband's deviant behaviors. The conversation ventured into the psychological complexities of living with a person capable of such heinous acts, considering how Ellerup's repeated absence during the murders could either be a mere coincidence or a more sinister aspect of their marital dynamic. Despite the mounting evidence against Heuermann and the swirling suspicions around his family, many questions remain unanswered. Why hasn't Asa Ellerup been more rigorously questioned? What did she truly know about her husband's actions? And most importantly, how deep does the rabbit hole go in this horrifying case? As this investigation continues to unfold, the community and the families of the victims hold onto hope for answers and justice. Yet, the case of the Long Island serial killer serves as a grim reminder of the complexities and challenges inherent in solving such deeply disturbing crimes. The conversation between Brueski and Dreeke not only highlights the progress made but also underscores the painstaking journey still ahead in uncovering the full extent of this nightmare. In a world where the truth is often stranger and more terrifying than fiction, the Long Island serial killer case continues to intrigue and horrify in equal measure. As investigators peel back the layers of this macabre mystery, one cannot help but wonder: What other secrets lie buried on Gilgo Beach, waiting to be unearthed?

Attorney John Ray has called for a closer examination of the movements of Asa Ellerup, the wife of accused serial killer Rex Heuermann, in light of new evidence that appears to contradict her alibi. This development comes as Heuermann faces charges in connection with the murders of several women, including Maureen Brainard-Barnes.    Brainard-Barnes, a sex worker, went missing in July 2007, and her body was found in December 2010 on a Long Island beach, alongside the remains of three other women - Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Lynn Costello - all of whom Heuermann is accused of murdering.    Previously, District Attorney Ray Tierney's office had asserted that travel and cell phone records indicated that Ellerup and her children were out of state when these women disappeared, establishing their alibi.    However, during a symposium at St. John University, attorney John Ray presented new evidence challenging this claim. He questioned the use of the phrase "on or about" in court documents, suggesting that the actual timeline of Ellerup's whereabouts may differ from what was previously assumed.    Ray claimed to have received information indicating that Ellerup and her children may have checked into their Atlantic City hotel later than originally reported, potentially altering the timeline of their movements.    The bank statement, cited in the court documents, highlighted a transaction for the Flagship Hotel on July 14, 2007, with an arrival date listed as July 7, 2007 - just two days before Brainard-Barnes disappeared. However, the manager of the hotel allegedly stated that Ellerup checked in on July 17.    John Ray emphasized the significance of these discrepancies, stating, "If those records are correct, then the District Attorney is not right, and Asa Ellerup was not away on July 7, July 8, July 9, July 10," raising questions about her alibi.    Notably, hairs belonging to Ellerup and her children were found near the victims' remains, prompting Ray to call for a renewed focus on the family's potential involvement.    In response to these claims, Victoria Heuermann's attorney, Vess Mitev, criticized Ray's remarks as "unhinged" and "conclusively disproved by factual evidence." He suggested that Ray's statements were an attempt to gain attention.    District Attorney Ray Tierney's office declined to comment on the new evidence, and Asa Ellerup's attorney, Bob Macedonio, has not yet responded to these allegations.    Rex Heuermann, whose DNA was linked to the murders of the Gilgo Four, is under investigation in connection with various cold cases across the country. John Ray has consistently called for Asa Ellerup to be investigated as a potential accomplice in his alleged crimes.    Despite these developments, Heuermann's wife maintains her innocence and has denied any involvement in the murders. She has expressed shock and disorientation following her husband's arrest. However, tipsters have alleged that she was aware of Heuermann's activities and even participated in non-violent sexual encounters with him.    As the investigation into Rex Heuermann expands beyond Suffolk County, questions surrounding the alibis of those close to him continue to arise. The complex case leaves many unresolved questions and underscores the need for further examination. John Ray continues to call for the involvement of federal agencies to ensure a comprehensive investigation. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the shadow of the chilling Long Island serial killer case, a perplexing question looms: How much did Asa Ellerup, wife of the accused killer Rex Heuermann, really know? "Hidden Killers," a podcast hosted by Tony Brueski, brings former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer to the forefront of this conversation, unraveling the nuances of Ellerup's alibi and her potential awareness of her husband's alleged crimes.    The discussion revolves around Ellerup's repeated alibi of being 'out of town' during the murders. Coffindaffer acknowledges that, in 2007, proving one's whereabouts could be challenging for an average person, but Ellerup managed to produce a bank statement as proof. The statement indicates her presence at Atlantic City, New Jersey, during the time of one of the murders. Coffindaffer expresses, "While the bank statement does provide some clarity, it's the circumstantial details around these trips that raise eyebrows."    The conversation then delves into the dynamic of the Heuermann household. Coffindaffer points out the peculiar timing of Rex joining Asa and their children during the trip, hinting at a possible premeditated plan for his alleged criminal activities. "It's interesting to speculate what Rex told Asa about joining the trip later. It raises questions about the nature of their relationship and what Asa might have known," Coffindaffer remarks.    Further complicating the situation is the discovery of Asa's hair on multiple victims. While this could be attributed to the disorderly state of the Heuermann household, it nonetheless casts a shadow of doubt. Coffindaffer reflects, "The hoarder-like conditions of their home make it plausible for hair transfer, but it's the pattern of these findings that can't be overlooked."    The podcast also explores the role of recent witnesses who have come forward, alleging Asa's involvement in activities that could have given her some level of awareness about her husband's disturbing behaviors. "These new testimonies need thorough investigation. They could either be fabrications or crucial pieces of the puzzle," Coffindaffer states.    Brueski questions the lack of in-depth questioning directed at Asa Ellerup by law enforcement, given the gravity of her husband's charges. Coffindaffer suggests that while Ellerup may have been cooperative, the level of detail in the case implies more interaction with her than publicly disclosed. "The contradiction in statements about her cooperation is puzzling. The police might have more insights than what's been shared," she adds.    The dialogue also touches upon the potential involvement of law enforcement in the couple's alleged activities. With past corruption within the police force and allegations of officers' participation in sex parties at the Heuermann home, the case takes on an even more complex dimension.    As the podcast wraps up, Coffindaffer and Brueski contemplate the possibility that Asa might have known about her husband's predilection for sex workers, if not the murders. "In a relationship marred by secrets and unhealthy dynamics, it's plausible that Asa was aware of certain aspects of Rex's life, though not necessarily the extent of his alleged criminal activities," Coffindaffer concludes.    The case against Rex Heuermann continues to unravel, with each revelation bringing more questions than answers. Asa Ellerup remains a figure shrouded in mystery, her exact role and knowledge still a topic of intense debate. As the investigation proceeds, the world watches, waiting to see if the truth will surface in this tangled web of deceit, betrayal, and murder. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Is the case of the Long Island serial killer far more complex than we initially thought? The recent charges against Rex Heuermann for the murder of Maureen Brainard-Barnes raise this question. Heuermann, already accused of three murders, now faces charges for a fourth, shedding new light on a case that has long puzzled investigators. Tony Brueski, host of "Hidden Killers," delves into these developments with Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent.    Dreeke expressed excitement, not at the charges, but at the detailed investigative work behind them. "The immense, intense amount of fantastic investigative work... is pretty incredible," he shared. The prosecution's case hinges on mitochondrial DNA evidence linking Heuermann to the victims, bolstered by independent verification from two separate labs.    The conversation then shifted to Heuermann's other properties, including a hunting property in a rural area and frequent trips to Vegas. These locations raise the possibility of more victims, given the time lapses between known ones. "The odds of him just doing this for a little while and then taking a break... it's not all that super common," Brueski noted.    Delving into Heuermann's disturbing online activities, Dreeke pointed out his searches for deviant and abhorrent pornography, including child porn. "If they actually were able to recover any of that, that's going to be an additional gotcha charge," Dreeke added. This evidence could further solidify the prosecution's case, painting a continuous arc of Heuermann's deviant behavior.    The focus then turned to Asa Ellerup, Heuermann's wife, and her potential knowledge of his activities. Brueski raised questions about Ellerup's repeated absences during Heuermann's alleged crimes and whether these absences were too convenient. "I'm not saying murder, but I'm just wondering how all convenient it's been every single time one of these charges has been brought up," he pondered.    Dreeke speculated on Ellerup's possible desensitization to her husband's behavior, given their long relationship and her exposure to his deviant lifestyle. This desensitization could explain her lack of suspicion, even when faced with his increasingly aberrant behavior. "The more we're exposed to something, the more comfort we have with that behavior," Dreeke explained.    The discussion also touched on allegations against Ellerup involving her participation in deviant sexual activities, further questioning her awareness of her husband's actions. "Maybe she added, 'I know he's going to do these horrendous things... part of our arrangement is I'm going to leave town,'" Dreeke hypothesized.    In a case as complex and twisted as the Long Island serial killer, the lines between victim and accomplice blur, leaving us to ponder: At what point does one's exposure to deviance erode their moral compass? As the investigation continues to unfold, we are left to grapple with the possibility of a broader web of complicity and deception, one that extends beyond the actions of a lone serial killer.

Is the Long Island serial killer case becoming more intricate with each passing day? The recent charges against Rex Heuermann for the murder of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, a 25-year-old victim, add yet another layer to this chilling narrative. Tony Brueski, host of "Hidden Killers," dives into the latest developments with Eric Faddis, a former felony prosecutor and attorney.    Faddis was not surprised by the additional charges against Heuermann, suggesting that more victims could be linked to him as the investigation progresses. "No big shocker on adding a fourth alleged victim," Faddis commented. "The real question is how high are we going to get on this?"    Discussing the law enforcement changes in the area, Faddis expressed hope that the new administration would intensify efforts to solve the cold case. "My expectation is that law enforcement is probably going to get even more gung ho on this," he stated.    The conversation then shifted to the controversial Asa Ellerup factor. More hair from Ellerup was found on another body, raising questions about her knowledge of Heuermann's activities. Faddis pointed out the potential legal implications for Ellerup, especially considering her alleged absence during the crimes. "Is it a red flag that Asa's hair was there? Certainly a significant piece of evidence that needs to be looked into," Faddis explained.    Brueski and Faddis delved into the complexities surrounding Ellerup's possible awareness of her husband's deviant lifestyle. The constant assertion that she was 'out of town' during each crime raises eyebrows. Faddis speculated on the dynamics of their relationship and the possibility of an arrangement between the couple, stating, "It'd be hard to come forward... but when you have these homicides connected to this potential arrangement, I think she's got to be pretty forthcoming."    The discussion highlighted the intricate web of the Long Island serial killer case, where every revelation seems to lead to more questions than answers. With the investigation deepening and new charges emerging, the public's interest in the case grows, as does the scrutiny on Asa Ellerup's role and knowledge.    As the case unfolds, one can't help but wonder: Will more victims be linked to Heuermann, and what else might surface in the ongoing investigation? The Heuermann case continues to captivate and horrify, reminding us of the complex and often hidden layers that exist in the most disturbing of criminal investigations.

Could the Long Island serial killer case be on the brink of revealing its full horror? Rex Heuermann, now officially charged with the murder of 25-year-old Maureen Brainard Barnes, adds to the growing list of victims linked to the alleged murderer. Host Tony Brueski of "Hidden Killers," along with Jennifer Coffindaffer, a retired FBI special agent, delve into these chilling developments.    Coffindaffer, reflecting on the latest charges, saw no surprise in Heuermann being linked to another victim. However, she emphasized the importance of acknowledging the human aspect behind these crimes, highlighting Barnes' background as a mother, casino dealer, and sex worker. "She was also a mother of two, not just a sex worker... she was more than just a number or a victim," Coffindaffer noted.    Significant evidence has emerged against Heuermann, including DNA matches from Asa Ellerup, his wife, found on the victims. Coffindaffer detailed the forensic findings: "Maureen Brainard Barnes's case involved Asa Ellerup's DNA on her body... This is a pattern we're seeing with the victims linked to the Heuermann household."    The lack of interrogation directed at Asa Ellerup raises questions about her knowledge or involvement in the case. "I find it surprising that Asa Ellerup hasn't been questioned more thoroughly," Coffindaffer stated. "Every time we find evidence, it always leads back to the Heuermann household."    Coffindaffer also pointed out the timeline discrepancies. With a two-year gap between the first and subsequent murders, she pondered Heuermann's activities during this period. "What was he up to in that hiatus? Law enforcement needs to scrutinize his whereabouts and actions during those crucial years."    Brueski and Coffindaffer speculated on the possibility of more victims. Given Heuermann's established pattern and the time gaps between known murders, they concurred that there might be undiscovered crimes. Coffindaffer emphasized the need for ongoing investigations: "We should continue looking at all the places he was in those years, as there could be more victims."    As the conversation unfolded, a broader picture of the Long Island serial killer case began to take shape. The methodical nature of the crimes, the emerging DNA evidence, and the haunting questions about Ellerup's potential knowledge all contribute to a complex and disturbing narrative.    With Heuermann facing charges for four murders, the investigators and the public alike are left pondering the depth of his alleged crimes. As Coffindaffer concluded, "This may be one of those cases where, for years to come, more victims continue to be attributed to him even after his trial."    The Long Island serial killer case continues to evolve, with each revelation shedding light on a dark saga of murder and mystery. As more details emerge, the question lingers: How many more secrets does this case hold? Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

With the investigation deepening and new charges emerging, the public's interest in the case grows, as does the scrutiny on Asa Ellerup's role and knowledge.    As the case unfolds, one can't help but wonder: Will more victims be linked to Heuermann, and what else might surface in the ongoing investigation? The Heuermann case continues to captivate and horrify, reminding us of the complex and often hidden layers that exist in the most disturbing of criminal investigations.

Could the Long Island serial killer case be on the brink of revealing its full horror? Rex Heuermann, now officially charged with the murder of 25-year-old Maureen Brainard Barnes, adds to the growing list of victims linked to the alleged murderer. Host Tony Brueski of "Hidden Killers," along with Jennifer Coffindaffer, a retired FBI special agent, delve into these chilling developments.    Coffindaffer, reflecting on the latest charges, saw no surprise in Heuermann being linked to another victim. However, she emphasized the importance of acknowledging the human aspect behind these crimes, highlighting Barnes' background as a mother, casino dealer, and sex worker. "She was also a mother of two, not just a sex worker... she was more than just a number or a victim," Coffindaffer noted.    Significant evidence has emerged against Heuermann, including DNA matches from Asa Ellerup, his wife, found on the victims. Coffindaffer detailed the forensic findings: "Maureen Brainard Barnes's case involved Asa Ellerup's DNA on her body... This is a pattern we're seeing with the victims linked to the Heuermann household."    The lack of interrogation directed at Asa Ellerup raises questions about her knowledge or involvement in the case. "I find it surprising that Asa Ellerup hasn't been questioned more thoroughly," Coffindaffer stated. "Every time we find evidence, it always leads back to the Heuermann household."    Coffindaffer also pointed out the timeline discrepancies. With a two-year gap between the first and subsequent murders, she pondered Heuermann's activities during this period. "What was he up to in that hiatus? Law enforcement needs to scrutinize his whereabouts and actions during those crucial years."    Brueski and Coffindaffer speculated on the possibility of more victims. Given Heuermann's established pattern and the time gaps between known murders, they concurred that there might be undiscovered crimes. Coffindaffer emphasized the need for ongoing investigations: "We should continue looking at all the places he was in those years, as there could be more victims."    As the conversation unfolded, a broader picture of the Long Island serial killer case began to take shape. The methodical nature of the crimes, the emerging DNA evidence, and the haunting questions about Ellerup's potential knowledge all contribute to a complex and disturbing narrative.    With Heuermann facing charges for four murders, the investigators and the public alike are left pondering the depth of his alleged crimes. As Coffindaffer concluded, "This may be one of those cases where, for years to come, more victims continue to be attributed to him even after his trial."    The Long Island serial killer case continues to evolve, with each revelation shedding light on a dark saga of murder and mystery. As more details emerge, the question lingers: How many more secrets does this case hold? Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a recent episode of "Hidden Killers," a debate rages over Asa Ellerup's potential Peacock Network payday, linked to her involvement in a documentary about her life as the wife of Rex Heuermann, the alleged Long Island serial killer. Host Tony Brueski, joined by former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, delves into the ethical and legal implications of this controversial deal, raising questions about profiteering from crime-related stories.    Asa Ellerup, entangled in her husband's notorious case, stands to earn a significant sum from a documentary produced by 50 Cent's G Unit Productions. This prospect has sparked outrage, particularly among the Long Island community and the victims' families. The documentary's approach, termed as a licensing agreement for Ellerup's image rights by Peacock, thinly veils what many perceive as a blatant attempt at monetizing tragedy.    The outrage has led to proposed legislation in New York aiming to tighten the loopholes in the Son of Sam law. This law, originally designed to prevent criminals from profiting from their notoriety, may soon extend to include defendants' relatives. Attorney John Ray, advocating for the victims' families, strongly supports this amendment, citing the moral implications of allowing relatives like Ellerup to profit under such circumstances.    Coffindaffer, weighing in on this development, expresses her reservations. While the law's intention might be sound, its broad application could inadvertently harm genuine victims connected to criminals. She draws parallels with Kerri Rawson, the daughter of the notorious BTK killer, who has become a vocal advocate for victims, using her traumatic experiences to help others. Rawson's case starkly contrasts with Ellerup's, whose actions have not demonstrated a similar commitment to advocacy or empathy.    The discussion turns to the documentary's potential impact on the ongoing case. Coffindaffer speculates that the documentary could inadvertently lead to new evidence or leads against Rex Heuermann, given the close monitoring of Ellerup's activities and interactions. However, the ethical dilemma remains: should someone like Ellerup be allowed to profit from a situation that has caused immense pain to others?    Brueski and Coffindaffer further explore the implications of such a law on individuals like Melissa Moore, daughter of the Happy Face Killer, who has also used her unfortunate family connection for advocacy. The conversation underscores the complex terrain of victim advocacy and the fine line between leveraging personal experiences for good and exploiting them for financial gain.    As the debate intensifies, the question of Ellerup's true victimhood comes under scrutiny. Unlike Rawson and Moore, Ellerup's actions have been perceived as self-serving, further complicating public opinion about her role in this saga. The documentary deal, while legally permissible under current laws, raises profound moral questions about the commercialization of crime stories and the responsibilities of those involved.    In conclusion, "Hidden Killers" sheds light on the challenging ethical landscape surrounding true crime storytelling. As the legal proceedings around the Son of Sam law expansion continue, the public is left to ponder the balance between storytelling, advocacy, and exploitation. The case of Asa Ellerup serves as a stark reminder of the complexities involved in narrating stories that emerge from the darkest chapters of human experience.

In a recent episode of "Hidden Killers," host Tony Brueski, alongside psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott, delves into the contentious issue surrounding Asa Ellerup's potential million-dollar payday from a documentary. This Peacock Network project, produced by 50 Cent's G Unit Productions, has raised a storm of debate, particularly around the expansion of the Son of Sam law in New York.    Asa Ellerup, embroiled in the chilling narrative of her husband Rex Heuermann, alleged to be the Long Island serial killer, finds herself at a controversial crossroads. The proposed legislative amendment aims to prevent relatives of defendants, like Ellerup, from profiting off criminal cases. This potential law change has garnered support from Attorney John Ray, who represents some of the victims' families. But the broader implications of this legal shift bring a complex ethical dilemma to the forefront.    Scott, contributing her expert insights, echoes Brueski's concerns over the broad reach of such legislation. While the public sentiment leans towards disallowing Ellerup from profiting off the tragic circumstances, the law could inadvertently penalize genuine victims like Kerri Rawson. Rawson, the daughter of the BTK killer, has channeled her traumatic experience into victim advocacy. A blanket law like the proposed one could unjustly strip individuals like her of their legitimate earnings and impede their advocacy work.    The conversation takes a deeper dive into the intricacies of legislating against profiteering in crime-related scenarios. Scott points out the challenge in legislating intent, a crucial element in differentiating cases like Ellerup's from others. The timing of the documentary, amidst ongoing legal proceedings against Rex Heuermann, adds to the unease surrounding Ellerup's role in the saga.    As Brueski and Scott explore, the intent behind Ellerup's involvement in the documentary remains a gray area. If Ellerup is eventually found to have no involvement in the crimes, her narrative could be seen in a different light. However, the speculative nature of the documentary's goals, potentially aimed at implicating her further, casts a shadow on her intentions.    The discussion then shifts to the potential consequences of such a documentary. Drawing parallels with Robert Durst's self-incrimination in "The Jinx," Brueski speculates on the documentary's possible outcomes. If Ellerup inadvertently incriminates herself, the million-dollar deal could ironically transition from a lucrative opportunity to a source of funds in prison.    This episode of "Hidden Killers" leaves listeners with a thought-provoking dilemma: balancing the need to prevent the exploitation of criminal cases for profit, against the risk of unjustly penalizing those who seek to use their personal tragedies for positive advocacy. As Scott aptly puts it, the solution might lie in nuanced legislation, tailored to address specific scenarios without overreaching into the lives of innocent victims turned advocates. As the legal and moral debate continues, the question remains: How can the law equitably distinguish between opportunistic profiteering and genuine victim advocacy?

Rex Heuermann has been housed in the Suffolk County Correctional Facility since his July arrest for the deaths of three women.  Asa Ellerup, his estranged wife, filed for divorce six days later. Since then she has not visited Heuermann, until now. Bob Macedonia, Ellerup's divorce attorney, confirmed  Asa Ellerup met with Rex Heuermann at the Suffolk County Jail. No word on how the meeting went or what was said. She has now also attended a court hearing for the accused Long Island Serial Killer. A crew for the Peacock network accompanied her after the family signed a deal worth at least 1 million dollars to take part in an upcoming documentary.  We've also learned that Heuermann has become a pen pal behind bars, writing to another serial killer, the "Happy Face Killer. In the early 90s Keith Jesperson, a long hall truck driver, killed many women. When someone else took credit for one of his murders, he started sending letters to the media and police with information only the killer would know. He put a "happy face" on each of his letters and was dubbed the Happy Face Killer.  DailyMail reports that Jesperson wrote a letter to Heuermann encouraging him to confess and offering some advice. Rex Heuermann reportedly writes back, thanking the Happy Face Killer for the advice, and then complains about the food in jail and the exercise yard.    Joining Nancy Grace Today:  John Ray - Attorney for Shannan Gilbert's Family Dr. Bethany Marshall – Psychoanalyst (Beverly Hills); Twitter: @DrBethanyLive/ Instagram & TikTok: drbethanymarshall Joseph Giacalone  – Former NYPD Sergeant SDS and Author: “ The Cold Case Handbook” and “The Criminal Investigative Function: A Guide for New Investigators 4th Edition;” Twitter: @JoeGiacalone Dr. Kendall Crowns – Chief Medical Examiner Tarrant County (Ft Worth), Lecturer: University of Texas Austin and Texas Christian University Medical School Keith Rovere - Author: “The Story Of Yu," and Host of the “The Lighter Side Of Serial Killers” Podcast (was sent Rex Heuermann's letter by the Smiley Face Killer); Twitter, IG, FB: The Lighter Side Of Serial Killers   Charlie Lankston - US Associate Editor for DailyMail.com; Twitter/Instagram: @Charlielanks   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
