Rex Heuermann's Wife: Bizarre Behavior or Something More?

When criminal activities unfold, the spotlight often falls on the
perpetrator. However, sometimes it veers, illuminating the
shadowy figures surrounding the central character. In the curious
case of Rex Heuermann, accused of heinous crimes, it's not just
him but also his estranged wife, Asa Ellerup, who's now grabbing
headlines.
 
Rex Heuermann's story is a web of accusations involving countless
crimes against sex workers, but it's Asa's recent plea that's
left many baffled. Attorney and former Federal prosecutor, Neama
Rahmani, shared his shock on the "Hidden Killers" podcast with
host Tony Brueski, exclaiming, “I couldn't believe it, Tony, when
I first read it. I'm like, this has to be a joke, right?”
 
 For those uninitiated, Asa Ellerup is demanding the return
of nearly 300 guns seized from their family home. Citing them as
marital property, she argues they're worth hundreds of thousands.
The issue? Her husband is embroiled in a major investigation, and
these weapons may well serve as crucial evidence. Tony aptly puts
it, "There's no guidebook to it, but there is just human
decency."
 
 Rahmani questioned Ellerup's seemingly oblivious behavior,
pointing to the lack of empathy displayed towards the victims of
her husband’s alleged crimes. He goes on to detail the bizarre
nature of their household - the decrepit condition of their house
which many feel should be condemned, her constant altercations
with the press, and her persistent legal endeavors to reclaim the
aforementioned weapons.
 
 But the depth of Heuermann’s arsenal is what particularly
unnerves Rahmani. From Uzis to Tommy guns, many of these weapons
not only breach New York's stringent gun laws but also hint at a
deeper, more sinister narrative. As Rahmani puts it, “If she
didn't know that her husband was involved in killing sex workers,
I have a very hard time believing that she didn't have knowledge
that he was at least seeing them and engaged in other shady
activity.”
 
 Ellerup’s defense seems fragile at best. Claiming to be out
of town every time her husband committed a crime doesn’t exactly
sit well. While Rahmani clarifies he isn’t accusing her, he
insists that “if she was getting good advice, she would really
sort of keep her mouth shut.”
 
 The deeper question might be, is Asa Ellerup's audacious
behavior a sign of sheer ignorance, or is there an underlying
story yet to be unveiled? While the court of public opinion may
already be casting its verdict, it's evident that this tale has
more layers to be unfurled.
 
 It begs the ponderous question, in cases so intricately
woven with darkness and deception, can we ever truly discern the
bystanders from the perpetrators?
