Summary
What happens when you've loved a monster? When the evidence piles up but your memory tells you something different about the Gilgo Beach Killer?
In Part 3 of our LISK series, we examine the fracture inside the alleged Long Island Serial Killer's family. His ex-wife Asa Ellerup still calls him her "hero." Their daughter Victoria says he's "most likely" the Gilgo Beach serial killer.
Same house. Same twenty-seven years. Two completely different realities.
According to court documents, every Gilgo Beach murder Heuermann is charged with allegedly occurred when his family was out of town. But the connection runs deeper. Female hairs found on victims' remains along Ocean Parkway were allegedly consistent with DNA from Asa and Victoria. Neither is accused of involvement—Suffolk County prosecutors say the hair was transferred.
The women in the alleged LISK's life were allegedly linked to murder victims without knowing.
Asa's attorney has suggested trauma bonding. In the documentary, she called Rex her "savior" from a difficult first marriage. Said visiting him in jail felt like "a first date."
Victoria's path was different. She acknowledged places in the Massapequa Park house she wasn't allowed. Admitted her father missed family vacations during windows when murders allegedly occurred. By the documentary's release, she'd reached her conclusion about the Long Island murders.
The daughter saw. The wife cannot.
BTK's daughter Kerri Rawson offered support: "Asa and her kids are also victims."
The Gilgo Beach trial is September 2026. Part 3 of 5.
