What Rex Heuermann's Alleged 'Sex Parties' tell Us About His Penchant For Deviant Behavior

When the line between our darkest imaginations and reality blurs,
how do we discern the truth? Recent allegations unearthed on the
podcast "Hidden Killers" hosted by Tony Brueski raise this very
question, bringing to the fore claims about Rex Heuermann, a
figure mired in controversy, and pointing to a grim underground
world of sinister liaisons.
 
 Defense attorney John Ray, representing some of the victims
from Gilgo Beach, unveiled claims connecting Heuermann to sexual
escapades that ranged from swinger parties to other
non-conventional acts. These allegations do more than just paint
a scandalous picture of Heuermann; they potentially tie him
closer to a series of unsolved murders.
 
 Tony Brueski remarked on the gravity of these revelations,
stating, "Certainly it puts him in the circle. Of this swinger
sex community. Does that then tie him closer to these potential
his name to these murders? I sure think so."
 
 It's not just the nature of the alleged activities that
makes these claims significant. Heuermann's unique physical
appearance, far from being a typical "five-foot-seven Joe", made
him notably memorable to some witnesses. Some even claim to have
seen him with his eventual victims while they were still alive,
deeply embedding him in this hedonistic scene.
 
 However, memories, especially those spanning decades, can
be treacherous. While recalling events from the mid-90s,
psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott highlighted, "Memory can
be fallible, but... he's a very distinctive appearing person and
as much as memory is reconstructed and is fallible, there are
things that are pretty accurate." The idea is that even if
memories can be malleable, distinct events or people – like
Heuermann – might leave a more indelible mark.
 
 Intriguingly, one witness recounted an interaction with Asa
Ellerup, potentially placing Heuermann in a bisexual light and
tying him to a male victim found on the beach. This witness
recalled a conversation wherein Asa expressed both gratitude
towards and fear of Heuermann. She refrained from expressing any
desire to be part of his darker ventures, yet seemed to be aware
of them. This revelation transforms Ellerup into a pivotal
character in this unfolding narrative.
 
 Brueski further elaborated, "She's been an interesting
character... looking at her as a victim of this, and in certainly
many ways, she possibly is." There are suspicions of Asa's
possible victimhood, hinting at a toxic relationship marked by
fear and control, potentially abused and manipulated by
Heuermann. The fact that she might have remained silent about
Heuermann's activities for years adds further layers to her role
in this ongoing investigation.
 
 However, the manner in which this information has come to
light is itself unorthodox. Instead of official investigators
leading the charge, these recent revelations have been primarily
pushed by defense attorneys. One possible reason? Victims or
witnesses might feel more at ease approaching a defense attorney
rather than the police, especially if they fear repercussions for
their own past activities.
 
 "It's another unusual aspect. The defense attorney is a
very colorful character... he's comfortable in the spotlight and
not averse at all to going out and talking about these things,"
stated Scott.
With every new piece of information, the timeline for any
potential trial seems to stretch further, and the questions only
multiply. Why hasn't Asa Ellerup been extensively interviewed by
the police? How much more remains hidden, waiting to come to the
surface?
As with many investigations of this magnitude, clarity often
leads to further obscurity. But one thing is certain: as the Rex
Heuermann saga unfolds, the world watches with bated breath. The
real question then becomes: when the curtain finally falls, are
we prepared to confront the truth that lies beneath?
