Rex Heuermann's Wife Breaks Silence After Gilgo Beach Murder Charges
Huff PostAsa Ellerup broke her silence Friday after husband Rex Heuermann was charged over a series of killings in New York. Heuermann was arrested earlier this month when a combination of DNA evidence, cell tower data and witness descriptions made him the prime suspect in at least three of the many Long Island killings known as the Gilgo Beach murders. In a press release, Ellerup said she was speaking out on “behalf of my family and especially my elderly neighbors, who have also had their lives turned upside down by the enormous police presence, in addition to the spectators, and news crews.” “They deserve to live peacefully; they should be able to walk their dogs and go to the grocery stores without cameras shoved in their faces,” she continued. Bob Macedonio, her lawyer, said Friday that the family is “enduring a profound and indescribable catastrophe.” Macedonio previously told Fox News that everything was “all still a whirlwind” for the family following the shocking allegations. “Her and her children’s lives have been completely turned upside-down.” Investigators say that Heuermann used “burner” cellphones to contact his victims and lured them to their death under the guise of prospective sex work.
