Asa Ellerup, the wife of Rex Heuermann, has come under the spotlight due to recent developments in the Gilgo Beach serial killer case.

Rex Heuermann, the alleged Gilgo Beach slayer, was arrested and charged with three counts of murder. Despite initially being in tears and proclaiming his innocence, he appeared emotionless during his arraignment. Heuermann, described as a “demon” and a “predator” by police, is a family man with a second wife and two children.

The prosecution presented compelling evidence, including cellphone records, burner phones, Google searches, and DNA from a half-eaten pizza, linking Heuermann to the murders of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello. His defense attorney emphasized the circumstantial nature of the case, while Heuermann remained silent in court.

Who is Asa Ellerup?

Asa Ellerup is Rex Heuermann’s second wife, and they are reported to have two children together, a daughter, and a son.

Authorities have indicated that hairs believed to match Asa Ellerup’s were found on some of the victims in the Gilgo Beach serial killer case. These hairs were either discovered in the couple’s home or transferred from Rex Heuermann’s clothing, as Ellerup was reportedly out of state at the time. These findings were mentioned in a bail letter published by the Daily Mail, shedding light on Ellerup’s potential connection to the case.
