Will Rex Heuermann's Wife Asa Ellerup Incriminate Herself in New Documentary?

In the latest episode of "Hidden Killers," hosted by Tony
Brueski, a compelling discussion unfolds with Defense Attorney
and Host of the podcast Defense Diaries, Bob Motta. The
conversation centers on Asa Ellerup, the wife of Rex Heuermann,
the alleged Long Island serial killer. A critical element of the
discussion is the controversial documentary being produced about
Ellerup by 50 Cent's G Unit production team, set to air on
Peacock.
 
 Ellerup, who filed for but has not completed a divorce from
Heuermann, presents an enigmatic figure. Despite not being
charged with any crime, her actions and the impending documentary
raise eyebrows. Brueski and Motta delve into the implications of
such a documentary, especially considering the ongoing trial of
her husband. Motta, with his legal expertise, offers a critical
perspective on the situation.
 
 Motta expresses skepticism about the documentary's intent,
suspecting it aims to link Ellerup to the crimes or prove her
complicity. The documentary, he argues, is unlikely to be a
sympathy piece for Ellerup. Instead, Motta sees it as an
investigative tool designed to expose any involvement or
knowledge Ellerup might have had in her husband's alleged crimes.
He warns of the potential pitfalls, drawing parallels to the
infamous "The Jinx" documentary, which played a pivotal role in
Robert Durst's conviction.
 
 The conversation turns to the recent discovery of Ellerup's
DNA on one of the victims, a development that significantly
heightens the intrigue surrounding her. This new evidence, if
substantiated, could place Ellerup in an incriminating position.
Motta and Brueski speculate on the nature of this DNA evidence
and its potential implications for Ellerup.
 
 Motta criticizes Ellerup’s decision to participate in the
documentary, considering it a grave mistake. He argues that her
participation in the documentary, particularly in light of the
new DNA evidence, could be detrimental to her case. Motta
anticipates that law enforcement will be keen to subpoena the
documentary footage, which could reveal crucial details not yet
known to the public or the police.
 
 Brueski raises the point that Ellerup has not been
officially questioned by the police, suggesting that law
enforcement might be biding their time, waiting for her to reveal
more through the documentary. Motta concurs, seeing the
documentary as a potential goldmine of information for
prosecutors.
 
 The conversation highlights the complex web of legal,
ethical, and public perception issues surrounding the Heuermann
case. Motta’s insights reveal the potential risks and
consequences of Ellerup’s involvement in the documentary,
especially in the context of the ongoing investigation into her
husband’s alleged crimes.
 
 As the discussion concludes, Brueski and Motta agree on the
poor optics of Ellerup's decision to participate in the
documentary. They emphasize the precarious position she finds
herself in, with the documentary potentially serving as a tool
for her incrimination.
 
 The interview leaves the audience pondering the intricate
dynamics at play in the Heuermann case and the role of media in
shaping public perception and potentially influencing legal
outcomes. With Ellerup's actions under scrutiny and the
documentary's production underway, the case continues to
captivate and intrigue, raising as many questions as it answers.
