π± “Nightmares in Real Life?” β Inside the Emotional Turmoil of Alleged Gilgo Beach Killer’s Family π
TL;DR; The wife and kiddos of the accused Gilgo Beach serial killer, Rex Heuermann, are going through some real-life horror movie feels. Their home? Allegedly the crime scene. Their emotions? Off the charts. Sleep? More like cry-o’clock. ππ€
Ever heard the phrase “you can’t choose your family?” Well, the family of Rex Heuermann, the man allegedly behind the Gilgo Beach serial murders, is getting a front-row seat to that reality.
Asa Ellerup, Heuermann’s spouse, spoke up about their life after hubby’s arrest. Waking up trembling from anxiety? Check. Kids crying every night? Double check. And living in the very home where the crimes might have taken place? Oh, that’s a whole new level of unsettling.π
Asa spilled the tea on how they’re coping (or not). Their house was turned upside down by a 12-day police search. Imagine coming home to see your cat’s litter boxes everywhere, your favorite guitar shattered, and your cherished collectibles looking like they’ve been through a blender.π±πΈπ
So, where was Asa during all these alleged crimes? According to investigators, she and the kiddos, Christopher and Victoria, might’ve been out of town while the horrors unfolded. Now, that’s one way to ruin a family vacation memory.ππ΄
Christopher, who’s already in his 30s, recently showed raw emotions on their home’s front porch. As for Victoria, she’s convinced they’re being treated like, well, not exactly royals.π
Asa’s parting words? They have no other place to bolt to. So, while others dream of monsters under their beds, this family might be living atop one’s den.ποΈπ»
But here’s the tea, folks: Rex is still only charged, not convicted. While we can’t ignore the family’s trauma, we also can’t forget the presumption of innocence.
Question to Ponder: What would you do if your safe space, your home, turned into a real-life crime scene? How would you cope knowing someone you loved might’ve done the unthinkable? π€π
