Accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann’s estranged wife and children were photographed returning to their Massapequa Park home in New York, after police ended their search of the residence on Tuesday.
Asa Ellerup, who recently filed for divorce from her husband, 59-year-old Heuermann, arrived at the home accompanied by a man believed to be a detective, and joined by her children, 26-year-old Victoria Heuermann and Christopher Sheridan, 33.
“Don’t talk to me,” she yelled at reporters, captured by the New York Post. “Wanna take pictures? Go ahead … Don’t talk to me.”
Ellerup then sat on a bench with a puppy outside the home; when reporters asked her if she would continue staying at the residence (she shared with Heuermann before his arrest), she reportedly snapped at them.
“Please, leave me alone. That’s none of your business.”
Christopher Sheridan, who reportedly has special needs, added that he was “mad” as he passed by onlookers.
Police spent days digging the property in search of new evidence against Heuermann. When the search completed, police allowed Ellerup and her children back into the home.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, Heuermann was arrested July 13 for the deaths of three of the four women known collectively as the “Gilgo Four.” The bodies were found within days of each other on Gilgo Beach in December 2010. All four women were buried in burlap sacks.
Heuerman has been charged with six counts of murder in the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, 24; Megan Waterman, 22; and Amber Lynn Costello, 27; and is the prime suspect in the death of 25-year-old Maureen Brainard-Barnes.
Toulon said that they monitor and videotape Heuermann 24 hours a day, and “all inmate movement stops” when he is moved from one place to another within the jail.
