Asa Ellerup Speaks: Why She Still Defends Rex in the Gilgo Beach Case

Asa Ellerup Speaks: Why She Still Defends Rex in the Gilgo Beach
Case

What does it mean when a wife says that telling her husband “I
love you” would hurt him? In a recent documentary, Asa Ellerup,
wife of accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann, gave
interviews that stunned audiences with her continued loyalty,
denial, and outright disbelief. “He’s a family man. He didn’t do
this,” she insists—even as evidence piles up.

In this segment, we break down Asa’s words, her courtroom
reactions, and her refusal to see the mounting proof. Then we
contrast that with the most chilling discovery from Rex’s own
basement: a typed “murder blueprint.” The document contained
sectioned lists straight out of an engineering project
plan:




Problems: DNA, fingerprints, blood
stains.



Supplies: Rope (“heavy rope for neck”), saws,
plastic drop cloths, acid and lye.



Dump sites: GPS coordinates for multiple
disposal locations.



Targets: “Small women,” “remove tattoos,”
“remove ID marks.”




This wasn’t random scribbling. It was methodical. It even
included reminders like “get sleep before hunt” and “use pushpins
to hang drop cloths.” Cold, calculated, and terrifying in its
simplicity.

We unpack what it means when someone needs a checklist for
murder, why the rigidity points to an engineering brain, and how
denial in a spouse can cross from blindness into complicity. Add
in the neighbors and coworkers who described Rex as aggressive,
unsettling, and Jekyll-and-Hyde, and you get the full picture: a
man hiding behind a suburban façade, and a wife who still insists
it’s all a mistake.

This is where the case stops being about “maybe” and starts
staring us in the face. When you have lists that literally say
“rope for neck,” how much more does it take?
