Rex Heuermann's estranged wife wants prosecutors to let her sell some of her husband's confiscated collection of guns as she divorces the suspected serial killer.
The wife of an alleged serial killer is asking authorities to give back guns seized in a search of the family home as she struggles with cancer and medical bills and is divorcing her husband, who prosecutors say led a double life as an unassuming architect and a brutal murderer. Asa Ellerup, the wife of suspected Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann, lost her health insurance when her husband's arrest forced the collapse of his business – shortly after she learned she had cancer.
She doesn’t want the guns – she wants the money for them,' he said. The truck is one of two Avalanche vehicles police seized during their investigation – a 2002 pickup stowed on Heuermann's brother's property in South Carolina, which is the suspect vehicle in the Gilgo Beach murders, and a newer model that Macedonio estimates is worth about $20,000 to $25,000. Other assets that remain in police possession include jewelry belonging to both Ellerup and her daughter, Victoria Heuermann.
Ellerup and her adult children could use the money as they look to restore some normalcy to their lives after police brought charges in the cold case investigation following a months-long effort from a new task force established more than a decade after the bodies were found. Heuermann's daughter, who worked in her father's now defunct architecture firm, is out of work and under pressure from clients who want their deposits back, Macedonio said.
Heuermann is also the prime suspect in the killing of 25-year-old Maureen Brainard-Barnes, whose remains were found near the others dumped alongside Ocean Parkway, just east of Gilgo Beach. Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney said previously that police also found Heuermann's wife's DNA on some of the victims – but she was out of town during each of the murders and has not been named a suspect. It is believed to have been transferred incidentally by her husband.
The arrest completely 'blindsided' Hueurmann's wife and adult children, Macedonio told Fox News Digital previously. Her husband's double life also included allegations of numerous affairs with sex workers around the country behind Ellerup's back. Prosecutors even included selfies from his online dating profile in court documents. The couple's children, Victoria Heuermann, 26, and Christopher Sheridan, 33, have retained a lawyer of their own.
