The Gilgo Beach serial killer’s wife, Asa Ellerup, 62, wants to write a tell-all book about living in the shadow of the brutal family patriarch, Rex Heuerman. Heuerman, a 62-year-old architect and father of two, was sentenced to three life sentences earlier this month after pleading guilty to killing and dismembering eight people in the early 2010s. “Asa is looking forward to now starting to put the pieces of their lives back together. They want their privacy to move on,” Ellerup’s attorney, Bob Macedonio, told the Daily Mail in a Tuesday interview. Despite the calls for privacy, Macedonio said Ellerup is “hopeful someday that she could write a book to help other victims going through what she’s going through,” but also revealed that the couple remains incredibly close, with Ellerup visiting the serial killer at least once a week. Their daughter, Victoria, 29, who worked alongside Heuerman at his Manhattan architecture firm, is also considering writing a book from the perspective of a daughter who once viewed her father as a “hero” before learning the truth about his crimes. Heuerman would lure young women to his basement kill room while his family was away, then rape, torture, and dismember them. These plans have upset some members of the victims’ families, including Megan Waterman’s aunt, Elizabeth Meserve, who said she was “sickened” to learn the family was paid $1 million for their interview in the Peacock docuseries, The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets. “A demon tortures and kills our loved ones and his family gets filthy rich off his crimes,” she said. According to Macedonio, the family has struggled financially, as both Victoria and the couple’s son, Christopher, 36, have had difficulty finding employment due to the scandal.
