Will Rex Heuerman Documentary Reveal More Crimes of Him and Possibly His Wife?

In a twist that could be straight out of a Hollywood thriller,
the case of Rex Heuermann, the alleged Long Island serial killer,
takes a new turn with the confirmation of a documentary in
production by Peacock Network. Asa Ellerup, Heuermann's wife, is
at the center of this documentary, raising questions about the
ethics and implications of such a project. Tony Brueski, on his
podcast "Hidden Killers," sat down with former Federal Prosecutor
Neama Rahmani to delve into the complexities of this
situation.
 
 Peacock Network has clarified that the payment to Asa
Ellerup is not a traditional paycheck but a licensing fee for the
use of her footage. However, the stipulation that the money
received cannot be used for Heuermann's defense raises eyebrows
and legal questions. Rahmani points out that while such a
condition is legally permissible, it blurs the lines of ethical
conduct.
 
 The involvement of 50 Cent and G Unit Productions in the
documentary adds another layer of intrigue. "You'll find him in
the club, and now you'll find him following around Asa Ellerup,"
Brueski humorously remarks, highlighting the surreal nature of
the situation. Despite the absurdity, Rahmani underscores the
serious nature of the documentary and its potential implications
for all involved.
 
 Rahmani expresses concern about the impact of the
documentary on the ongoing legal proceedings. He suggests that
the documentary could cast doubts on Asa's credibility and
motivations, especially given the stipulation that the funds
cannot be used for Heuermann’s defense. "It calls into question
her integrity, her motivation, and the veracity of whatever she
might say," he explains. The involvement of the family's lawyers
in the project, who are also reportedly being paid by Peacock,
further complicates the situation.
 
 The conversation then shifts to the role of the documentary
in the broader context of the case. Brueski wonders whether it
could inadvertently provide a platform for Asa to exonerate
herself or, conversely, lead to further incrimination. Rahmani is
skeptical, opining that the documentary is more likely to harm
Asa's case than help it. He cites the example of Robert Durst and
the HBO documentary "The Jinx," where Durst's participation in
the documentary ultimately contributed to his downfall.
 
 Rahmani's advice to Asa, if he were her attorney, would be
to avoid the documentary altogether. He sees it as a potential
minefield that could exacerbate her legal troubles. "If you're
the prosecution, you're thinking, great, give her more rope to
hang herself, which is what's happening here," Rahmani asserts.
The prospect of the prosecution subpoenaing documentary material
as evidence in the trial is a real and concerning possibility for
Asa.
 
 In conclusion, the Peacock Network documentary about Asa
Ellerup and Rex Heuermann adds a new and controversial dimension
to an already complex case. The ethical questions it raises,
combined with the legal challenges it might pose for Asa, make it
a subject of intense scrutiny and debate. As Rahmani puts it, "If
you're the prosecution, you're thinking, great, give her more
rope to hang herself," encapsulating the precarious situation
that Asa Ellerup finds herself in.
