In the perplexing saga of the Gilgo Beach murders, is Rex Heuermann merely a piece of a much larger, more intricate puzzle? This pressing question emerges amidst new developments and allegations surrounding Heuermann and his wife, Asa Ellerup, brought forward by renowned retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke.
Speaking with Tony Brueski on the "Hidden Killers" podcast, Dreeke delved into the latest updates from John Ray, the defense attorney representing some of the Gilgo Beach victims. According to Ray, new witnesses have come forward with signed affidavits detailing Heuermann's involvement in swinging clubs in the late 1990s. This new evidence suggests that Heuermann, along with his wife, might have been part of a disturbing narrative that connects to several murders and the seedy underbelly of sex trafficking.
Dreeke highlighted the significance of these developments, noting, "He's got this behavior arc of a stalker of someone looking for victims... and the thing that really struck me was that one of the girls that went to the house was a couple that was supposed to do swapping with Heuermann, his wife, and another girl they brought in, which was one of the victims."
This revelation not only implicates Heuermann in more sordid activities but also raises questions about the involvement and knowledge of his wife, Asa. The allegations don't directly accuse her of knowing about the murders, but they do suggest she might have been aware of her husband's deviant behaviors.
Furthermore, the involvement of a law enforcement detective from the NYPD in these activities adds another layer of complexity to the case. "This is what's bothered me on this... the allegations that other law enforcement professionals and detectives, not even from Long Island, were part of seeing it," Dreeke expressed his concerns.
The recent resignation of Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison, amidst these unfolding events, adds to the intrigue. Brueski pointed out, "It just seems a little odd... Are you getting too close to something far bigger than even Rex Heuermann?" This sudden departure, coupled with the murky history of former police chief James Burke, hints at a potentially deeper corruption within the law enforcement ranks.
The case takes another turn with the allegation of Asa Ellerup's presence and possible awareness of Heuermann's actions. "One of the witnesses... alleges she had with Ellerup in the upstairs of their home, as she alleges Rex went downstairs and had sex with her boyfriend," Brueski detailed. This interaction, if true, may shed light on Asa's understanding of her husband's lifestyle and the types of people he associated with.
The complexity of the case is further compounded by the lack of transparency and missteps by law enforcement. Dreeke pointed out, "There's something off with how they treated her in that house... when they're all their statements and still are that Asa is innocent and not aware of it, then why did you treat her and her kids and the premises so horrendously?"
As new allegations and evidence surface, one can't help but wonder if Rex Heuermann's case is just the tip of an iceberg, hinting at a much larger, darker network. The role of Asa, the involvement of law enforcement, and the sudden resignation of key figures paint a complex picture that demands scrutiny and investigation.
As Dreeke and Brueski continue to unravel this tangled web, one question remains: How deep does the rabbit hole of the Gilgo Beach murders go, and what more will we uncover about Rex Heuermann and those connected to him?
