Why Rex Heuermann's Wife May Sue Police as She Demands 300 Guns Back

Is money more important than morality? This is a question echoing
through the latest episode of "Hidden Killers" with Tony Brueski.
He was joined by former FBI Special Agent and Hidden Killers
Daily Contributor, Jennifer Coffindaffer, to discuss the
unsettling actions of Asa Ellerup, wife of accused Long Island
serial killer, Rex Heuermann.
 
 The intrigue started when Asa Ellerup made a controversial
request to retrieve 300 guns, identified as marital property,
from the home she once shared with her husband. These guns were
put into evidence as her husband is the main suspect in the Long
Island serial killings. According to her attorney, the guns are
worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Tony Brueski reflected,
"Surprisingly, I'm always just kind of like, why are you doing
this right now? This just doesn't look good for you."
 
 Jennifer Coffindaffer weighed in, expressing shock at the
optics of the situation, stating, “Why? Just from a moral
standpoint, does she care about these victims? Does she care
about this case?” The former FBI agent emphasized the
improbability of Asa getting the guns back, given their potential
evidentiary value in the ongoing investigation.
 
 But this isn’t the only monetary pursuit Asa seems to be
engaging in. Brueski pointed out that she has "55 grand that was
handed over to her from the GoFundMe," yet she continues to claim
her house isn’t fixed. Such behavior, combined with her legal
pursuits, has muddled the narrative around Asa’s possible
ignorance of her husband’s alleged activities.
 
 The discussion took a turn to speculate on the potential
implications of the ongoing investigation. Jennifer hinted, "If
they find, you know, notes, records. Emails, texts any sort of
communications regarding her involvement... it shows character."
This character hint suggests someone with "zero empathy for
others," eerily similar to traits one might expect from a serial
killer.
 
 Both hosts were careful not to definitively label Asa as
guilty of anything. However, her recent actions, particularly the
quest for marital property amid such grave allegations against
her spouse, cast a dark shadow. Jennifer summed it up by saying,
"Law enforcement has said they don't have any information at this
point that she's involved... but by her actions right now, it's
casting a real negative shadow."
 
 A particularly provocative point was raised regarding
gender bias. Would the narrative be different if gender roles
were reversed? Would both spouses be behind bars if the wife were
the primary suspect? Jennifer countered that the totality of
evidence doesn’t point towards Asa. Regardless of gender, the
evidence just doesn’t seem to connect her to the crimes.
 
 Is society too quick to judge based on actions following
trauma, or are these reactions telltale signs of deeper
connections? The lines between innocence, guilt, and the pursuit
of personal interest blur, leaving us all pondering: Can property
truly overshadow the value of human life?
