46: Is Rex Heuermann's Wife Taking Advantage Of Public Sympathy?

The recent episode of "Hidden Killers," a renowned podcast hosted
by Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole, focused on the controversial case
of the Gilgo Beach murders. As the hosts discussed, the accused
murderer, Rex Heuermann, who has been finger-pointed for these
horrendous crimes, remains innocent until proven guilty. The
hosts, however, made it clear that the opinions presented were
those of John Ray, an attorney representing some of the victims'
families, and not of the podcast.
 
John Ray's statements were brought into focus primarily because
they sometimes contradict popular opinion. Tony mentioned, "When
you see a case like this, you identify immediately, you know, the
victims." Often, society marginalizes and denigrates the victims
because of their professions. Stacy Cole noted that the world's
oldest profession, alluding to prostitution, has been around for
a long time. Both hosts firmly believe that no matter the
profession, no one ever deserves to be a victim of such heinous
acts.
 
Tony reflected on the societal bias against the victims, which
possibly contributed to the prolonged time taken to solve the
case. He mentioned that the victims were often seen as "society's
lesser," leading their cases to be put on the back burner. Stacy
added that unless there are families or loved ones pushing for
answers and justice, such cases often go unnoticed.
 
Enter John Ray. Having represented some of the victim families
for nearly a decade, Ray has had significant involvement in this
case, even before Rex  Heuermann's name surfaced. Ray's
current focus, according to the hosts, is on Asa, Rex's wife.
Tony stated, "I think they're fair questions to be asked" while
discussing potential connections to Rex's alleged crimes.
 
Tony and Stacy discussed how in many instances, the families of
accused individuals are often seen as victims. Drawing parallels
with the BTK killer's family, Tony emphasized that just because
one family was unaware doesn't mean that's the case for every
serial killer's family.
 
A point of contention was a GoFundMe account for Asa's family.
Tony revealed research suggesting that the family's net worth may
range between $5 to $7 million, putting into question the need
for such a fundraiser. "Is it truly going to a place of good?"
Tony questioned.
 
John Ray's opinion on the matter was that Asa seems to be
"playing a con game," implying that there might be hidden motives
behind her raising funds. Ray's most controversial point was
regarding the possibility that Asa might have had knowledge about
Rex's affiliations with sex workers.
 
Tony wrapped up the discussion by reiterating that these are just
opinions and official evidence is still pending. Both hosts were
united in their emphasis on caution and the importance of
verifying information before concluding.
 
As the Gilgo Beach murders case continues to unfold, "Hidden
Killers" sheds light on various perspectives, ensuring that
listeners remain informed from all angles. The podcast serves as
a reminder that in a world filled with gray areas, staying
informed and open-minded is paramount.
