So far an arsenal of guns has been found in the home of Rex Heurrman, suspect in the Gilgo Beach murders on Long Island, NY.
This is a developing story. I have a feeling there will be morbid details to come. Very sad.

In her more than 27 years of marriage to Rex Heuermann, Asa Ellerup likely did not know about the gruesome double life her husband is accused of living, Suffolk County’s top cop says.
“If you ask me, I don’t believe, that they knew about this double life that Mr. Heuermann was living,” Suffolk County police commissioner Rodney Harrison said of the suspect’s family. But authorities are not ruling anything out yet and are continuing to collect information “to see if the family might have known exactly what Mr. Heuermann was up to,” Harrison told CNN’s Erica Hill Monday.

Asa Ellerup has filed for divorce.

The investigation is now more far-reaching: Atlantic City, Las Vegas, and property in South Carolina are areas of concern, and sex workers who may have crossed paths with Heuermann are being interviewed.

Wife’s hair found with all three victims

When the victims were first discovered, there were pieces of degraded hair recovered by authorities – but DNA testing at the time could not provide the answers investigators hoped for.

Technological improvements soon helped yield results.

Hair that is now believed to belong to Ellerup – which presumably had been unintentionally carried by the suspect on his clothes – was found on or near the three victims, prosecutors alleged in the bail application, citing DNA testing.

That DNA came from 11 bottles inside a garbage can outside the Heuermann home, the court document says. Authorities had been surveilling Heuermann and his family for months after they identified him as a suspect in early 2022, and during that time collected DNA samples from items the family threw away.

Though her hair was found with the victims, Ellerup and their daughter were both traveling when the killings were committed and Heuermann was “alone in the tri-state area,” Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney said during a Friday news conference. “It’s very significant in as much as it then limits it down to him,” criminal defense attorney Joey Jackson told CNN’s Jake Tapper about the finding. “If the suspect’s wife is out of town, then why would her hair be there if he’s in town?

”Suffolk County authorities say DNA evidence also linked Heuermann to a male hair found on the burlap sack where one victim’s remains were found.

So the neighborhood of Massapequa Park is creeped out by the findings surrounding the Gilgo killings. Investigators have emptied out the suspect's house and there is major digging going on. Everyone feels this story may be more far-reaching than we know at this time.

August 1st: Rex Heuermann attended a 32-minute court hearing on Long Island today. Prosecutors presented evidence that will show that Heuermann is the killer of at least 3 of the victims found buried at Gilgo Beach. Heuermann's lawyers did not request a change of venue for the upcoming trial.

The family has returned to their house in Massapequa Park which has been so torn apart that a chair to sit on could barely be found. A Go Fund Me account has been started for the Heuermann family.

Heuermann is due back in court on Sept. 27.

I’ve read a little about this…..he’s a stone cold serial killer. I hope he gets what’s coming to him.

Watched 20/20 about Gilgo Beach. Nothing new. It was a big recap of info already published.
