  • 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.

  • Minnesota Mother Sentenced to 22 Years for Killing Disabled Daughter

    Minnesota Mother Sentenced to 22 Years for Killing Disabled Daughter
    Nov 25 2024
    A Minnesota mother has been sentenced to 22 years in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree murder in the death of her 13-year-old disabled daughter. Elise C. Nelson admitted to turning off her daughter Kylie Larson’s oxygen-monitoring device and allowing the child to die while heavily intoxicated.

    Stearns County District Court Judge Heidi E. Schultz handed down the 22-year (261 months) sentence, ordering Nelson to pay over $12,000 in restitution. Under Minnesota law, Nelson will likely serve 14 ½ years in prison and the remainder on supervised release.

    Prosecutors described the tragic series of events that unfolded over three days in June 2020. Nelson was home alone with Kylie while her husband, the child’s stepfather, was on a fishing trip, and her other child was staying with a family friend. Kylie, who relied on an oxygen-monitoring device to survive, began experiencing drops in oxygen levels two days into Nelson’s care.

    Court records revealed Nelson repeatedly silenced alarms from the monitoring device and manually changed its parameters, allowing Kylie’s oxygen levels to plummet without further warnings. Nelson also turned off the machine several times.

    On June 21, 2020, a family friend tried unsuccessfully to contact Nelson. Concerned, the friend went to the home and found the door locked and shades drawn. Shortly after noon, Nelson texted the friend, saying she had been performing CPR on Kylie for an hour and was waiting for authorities.

    Nelson eventually called 911 at 1:09 p.m. When emergency personnel arrived minutes later, they found Kylie unresponsive on the living room floor. Medics described the child as “cold to the touch,” with signs of blood pooling that indicated she had been dead for several hours.

    Investigators quickly determined Nelson’s account of events did not match the evidence. While Nelson claimed she had started CPR immediately after Kylie’s oxygen levels dropped to 86%, device data showed the machine flatlined at 6:43 a.m., more than six hours before Nelson called 911.

    Authorities also noted Nelson’s phone activity contradicted her claim that she had been performing CPR during that time.

    In a later admission, Nelson confessed to being severely depressed, purchasing a large bottle of vodka, and drinking until she blacked out. She told investigators she did not remember significant portions of the timeline leading up to her daughter’s death.

    Judge Schultz emphasized the seriousness of Nelson’s actions in court, noting that her choices directly led to her daughter’s preventable death. The court credited Nelson with eight days of time served, but the ruling made it clear that the severity of the crime warranted a lengthy sentence.

    The case has left the community grieving the loss of a vulnerable child whose life depended on the care of her parent.
