Gilgo Beach Killer's Wife Breaks Silence

Estranged Spouse Denies Knowledge of Husband's Crimes

Asa Ellerup, estranged wife of convicted Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann, has spoken out for the first time since her husband's arrest. In an exclusive interview with CNN, Ellerup stated that she had no prior knowledge of the heinous crimes committed by Heuermann.

Ellerup, who resides in Massapequa Park, New York, claims that she cut off all contact with her husband in 2015 after discovering his bizarre behavior. She described feeling "gutted" and "numb" upon learning of the charges against him.

When asked directly if she had any inkling of Heuermann's involvement in murder, Ellerup adamantly denied any knowledge. She stated that she always believed her husband to be a "good man" and was devastated by the revelation of his true nature.

Ellerup's comments mark a significant development in the case, as she becomes the first close associate of Heuermann to publicly speak out. Her denial of involvement raises questions about the extent of Heuermann's secrecy and the possibility of others being complicit in his crimes.

As the investigation continues and the trial date approaches, the words of Asa Ellerup serve as a chilling reminder of the power of deception and the profound impact of hidden darkness within seemingly ordinary relationships.
