Undying Love For Alleged Gilgo Killer – Breaking Down His Wife's Shocking Interview
Description:
What happens when the wife of an accused serial killer speaks—and not to condemn, but to seemingly protect? In this raw and unnerving episode, we dissect Asa Ellerup’s interview about her husband, alleged Gilgo Beach murderer Rex Heuermann. From romantic language to bizarre justifications, her words leave legal analysts and the public stunned. Is this undying love... or a calculated survival strategy? Retired FBI experts and behavioral analysts weigh in on trauma bonding, manipulation, and whether her “support” masks something far more disturbing. You’ll never look at this marriage the same way again.

A Look At The Five Creepiest Evidence Finds In Accused Gilgo Killer, Rex Heuermann's House of Horrors
Step inside the chilling world of Rex Heuermann—alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer—and discover the five most disturbing pieces of evidence uncovered in his suburban Long Island home.
From the outside, his Massapequa Park house looked ordinary. But what investigators found inside was anything but. In this episode, we break down the evidence that turned this ordinary-looking residence into a psychological horror story, brick by brick. You’ll learn about the infamous child-sized doll in a glass case, the eerie portrait of a bruised woman, a digital kill plan file with 87 detailed entries, a basement vault containing nearly 300 firearms, and a disturbing collection of extreme digital content.
Every piece tells a story—not just of potential criminal behavior, but of a mind allegedly obsessed with control, violence, and fantasy. We explore what these objects reveal about the man accused, how they align with behavioral profiling, and why even hardened investigators were disturbed by what they saw.
This isn't speculation. These items were collected by law enforcement and discussed in court documents and press conferences. If you're into true crime that doesn't just scratch the surface, but dives deep into the psychology and evidence—this one's for you.
Hit subscribe for more true crime breakdowns, forensic insights, and criminal psychology analysis. We post weekly content covering high-profile cases and the chilling details that don’t always make the headlines.

Inside the Mind of Asa Ellerup: FBI Profiler Breaks Down the Gilgo Beach Killer’s Home Life
Inside the Mind of Asa Ellerup: FBI Profiler Breaks Down the Gilgo Beach Killer’s Home Life
In this special full-length edition of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski is joined by Robin Dreeke—retired FBI Special Agent and former chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—for a masterclass in psychological profiling, emotional survival, and the terrifying ease with which evil can thrive inside a family home.
Together, they dissect the marriage between Asa Ellerup and accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann. Through footage from Peacock’s documentary, The Gilgo Beach Killer: Secrets of a Serial Killer, Robin examines Asa’s emotional patterns, her lack of curiosity, and what her devotion may reveal about how Rex was able to live a double life for decades without raising alarm.
From their earliest days together—when Rex “saved” Asa from a difficult divorce—to the secret gun vault in the basement she never questioned, every detail is unpacked through the lens of behavioral science. Why did Asa never ask what her husband did during those long weekends alone? Why did she trust him so completely, even when DNA evidence tied her family to the victims?
We also explore the conflicted voice of Victoria Heuermann, their daughter, who is caught between love and revulsion. Like Kerri Rawson, daughter of BTK, Victoria must now reconcile the man who built her a dollhouse with the man now accused of horrific crimes.
Robin Dreeke breaks down how manipulation, grooming, denial, and emotional projection form the perfect storm for long-term concealment—and how that storm unraveled in one Long Island household.
This isn’t just about a killer. It’s about the people who lived with him. And what they may have known—or refused to see.

"He's My Hero" - Gilgo Beach Killer's Wife Defends Rex Heuermann Despite DNA on Bodies | Psychologist Reacts
"He's My Hero" - Gilgo Beach Killer's Wife Defends Rex Heuermann Despite DNA on Bodies | Psychologist Reacts
In this deeply disturbing analysis of the Peacock documentary, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and I decode the most baffling true crime mystery: How did Rex Heuermann's family NOT KNOW he was allegedly the Long Island Serial Killer?
We examine Asa Ellerup's shocking devotion to her husband despite DNA evidence linking him to seven murders. From her declaration that "he's my hero" to her bizarre claim that saying "I love you" would hurt him, we explore the psychological phenomenon of "negative hallucination" - not seeing what's right in front of you.
Key revelations include:
The secret room with a steel door that even his wife couldn't enter
Why Rex was present 90% of the time but killed during the 10% when family was away
How he chose a vulnerable, submissive partner who wouldn't question him
Victoria Heuermann's evolution from defender to believing he's "most likely" guilty
The disturbing prison phone calls where Asa still lights up hearing his voice
Why trauma bonding can survive even murder charges
This isn't just about the Gilgo Beach murders - it's about how predators select and manipulate their own families, creating expanding circles of trauma. We explore cognitive dissonance, compartmentalization, and the psychology of denial in one of the most complex true crime cases of our time.
⚠️ Content Warning: Discussion of serial murder, psychological manipulation, and family trauma
