  • Estranged Wife of Gilgo Beach Suspect Leaves Longtime Home for Fresh Start

    Estranged Wife of Gilgo Beach Suspect Leaves Longtime Home for Fresh Start
    Nov 25 2024
    The Massapequa Park home of alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann will soon stand empty as his estranged wife, Asa Ellerup, prepares to relocate. Ellerup, whose 30-year attachment to the house was shattered by its connection to the investigation, has decided to move to South Carolina to begin a new chapter.

    Her attorney, Robert Macedonio, explained Ellerup’s reasoning, stating, “To start the healing process, she wants to move on.” He also shared that Ellerup’s adult children, whom she shares with Heuermann, plan to eventually join her in South Carolina.

    Ellerup filed for divorce shortly after Heuermann’s arrest in July 2023. Heuermann, a 60-year-old architect, was charged in connection with the killings of four women whose bodies were discovered in burlap sacks along Ocean Parkway more than a decade ago. These victims—Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Amber Lynn Costello, Melissa Barthelemy, and Megan Waterman—were found during the 2010 search for Shannan Gilbert, whose death in a nearby marsh was later ruled accidental.

    Earlier this year, prosecutors announced Heuermann’s involvement in two additional murders: Jessica Taylor in 2003 and Sandra Costilla in 1993.

    The home itself has been central to the investigation. In the summer of 2023, federal agents conducted an intensive search of the property, with Macedonio previously noting a focus on the basement. Investigators recovered a cache of weapons, paint chips, and a large rectangular object covered in a blue cloth. Macedonio declined to disclose what evidence was collected but confirmed the family was out of state during the initial search.

    A subsequent search of the home in May brought renewed attention to the case. Investigators placed additional materials into evidence bags, further linking the property to the long-unsolved killings. Despite the upheaval, Macedonio clarified that the house is not for sale at this time.

    For Ellerup, the decision to leave represents an opportunity to move beyond the trauma of her husband’s alleged crimes. "She has lost her attachment to the house," Macedonio said, emphasizing her determination to rebuild her life.

    Heuermann remains in custody as legal proceedings continue, and the Massapequa Park home—a quiet, single-story residence in a Long Island neighborhood—now stands as a chilling reminder of the case that has gripped the nation.
