36: Daughter of 'Happy Face Killer' Starts GoFundMe to Help Gilgo Beach Suspect's Family 'Start a New Life'

Melissa Moore, the daughter of convicted murderer Keith
Jesperson, has initiated a GoFundMe campaign to support Asa
Ellerup and her two adult children, who are the family of alleged
Gilgo Beach Serial Killer Rex Heuermann. Heuermann was arrested
last month and charged with the murder of three women in New
York. Melissa's fundraising efforts have already raised over
$23,000+ to help the family restart their lives.
 
Suffolk Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison stated that
Heuermann's arrest shocked his family, as they were unaware of
the double life he was living. Heuermann faces charges of
first-degree and second-degree murder concerning the deaths of
three women, and he is considered the primary suspect in the
murder of another victim.
 
After a thorough 12-day search of their home by investigators,
Ellerup's house was left in disarray. While empathizing with
Asa's situation, Melissa aims to assist her and her family start
anew. The funds raised will be delivered to Ellerup through her
divorce law firm, as she filed for divorce from Heuermann last
month. The money will be used for basic needs, restoring their
home, covering divorce costs, and addressing other unmet
needs.
 
Melissa, who understands the trauma experienced by family members
of serial killers, has previously spoken out about the shame they
carry. She hopes to alleviate some of their burdens and remove
any guilt associated with their connection to the
perpetrator.
