Ex-wife of alleged Gilgo Beach killer still defends him, but daughter says he ‘most likely’ did it

Asa Ellerup is grappling with the reality that the man she was married to for nearly 30 years is suspected of being the Gilgo Beach serial killer.

Rex Heuermann, a hulking New York City architect, has been charged with killing seven women, most of them sex workers, and dumping their bodies on a desolate parkway not far from Gilgo Beach on Long Island. He has pleaded not guilty.

Ellerup, 61, filed for divorce in 2023, just days after the 59-year-old was arrested for the murders of three of the victims.
