"He's My Hero" - Gilgo Beach Killer's Wife Defends Rex Heuermann Despite DNA on Bodies | Psychologist Reacts

"He's My Hero" - Gilgo Beach Killer's Wife Defends Rex
Heuermann Despite DNA on Bodies | Psychologist
Reacts

In this deeply disturbing analysis of the Peacock documentary,
psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and I decode the most baffling true
crime mystery: How did Rex Heuermann's family NOT KNOW he was
allegedly the Long Island Serial Killer?
We examine Asa Ellerup's shocking devotion to her husband despite
DNA evidence linking him to seven murders. From her declaration
that "he's my hero" to her bizarre claim that saying "I love you"
would hurt him, we explore the psychological phenomenon of
"negative hallucination" - not seeing what's right in front of
you.

Key revelations include:



The secret room with a steel door that even his wife couldn't
enter

Why Rex was present 90% of the time but killed during the 10%
when family was away

How he chose a vulnerable, submissive partner who wouldn't
question him

Victoria Heuermann's evolution from defender to believing
he's "most likely" guilty

The disturbing prison phone calls where Asa still lights up
hearing his voice

Why trauma bonding can survive even murder charges



This isn't just about the Gilgo Beach murders - it's about how
predators select and manipulate their own families, creating
expanding circles of trauma. We explore cognitive dissonance,
compartmentalization, and the psychology of denial in one of the
most complex true crime cases of our time.
