Wife of Alleged Long Island Serial Killer to Sell Family Home
Asa Ellerup plans to sell the damaged property after her divorce, seeking a fresh start away from the site of her husband's alleged crimes.
- The Long Island home of Rex Heuermann, the alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer, will be listed for sale once his wife Asa Ellerup's divorce is finalized in six months.
- Ellerup and her two adult children are relocating to a South Carolina property, seeking to escape the public scrutiny and trauma tied to the house.
- The property, damaged during extensive police investigations, has attracted true-crime tourists and onlookers, making it difficult for the family to live there.
- Real estate experts suggest the home may sell below market value or be purchased by a developer for demolition and redevelopment.
- Heuermann, charged with the murders of six women, has pleaded not guilty and remains in custody, while his trial date has yet to be determined.
