The wife of an architect charged in a string of slayings known as the Gilgo Beach serial killings released a statement late Wednesday in her husband's defense, saying she didn't believe him capable of the brutality of which he is accused.
The statement, released on Asa Ellerup's behalf by her lawyers, is her first statement in months since her husband's arrest in the now-infamous case last July. She has not been charged with any crimes, and investigators say she and her daughter were away on each of the four occasions when Rex Heuermann allegedly killed a woman.
Ellerup filed for divorce from Heuermann days after his arrest, but still visits him weekly, according to her attorneys.
"Nobody deserves to die in that manner," the statement on Ellerup's behalf said, with her lawyers sharing her "heartfelt sympathies" for the victims and their families. "I will listen to all of the evidence and withhold judgment until the end of trial. I have given Rex the benefit of the doubt, as we all deserve."
It wasn't immediately clear what prompted the statement from Ellerup Wednesday.
Heuermann was most recently charged in mid-January with a fourth slaying, that of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, a Connecticut mother of two who vanished in 2007 and whose remains were found more than three years later along a coastal highway on Long Island.
The charges came months after he was labeled the prime suspect in her death when he was arrested in July in the deaths of three other women. He pleaded not guilty in Brainard-Barnes' death, as he had done in the other cases.
Heuermann is being held without bail. He faces several life sentences without parole if convicted.

The brother that took over the as the chief of police should be praised for doing the job that many crakas couldn't do or rather WOULDN'T do. I'm also more interested in the killer's connections and political donations that he made that could be why he was able to avoid suspicion. I hate the cliché hiding in plain sight.Pimp’s tip last year steered cops to accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann
A Long Island pimp’s tip, coupled with chilling web searches and pizza crust DNA, steered authorities to serial killing suspect Rex Heuermann before his arrest in the notorious Gilgo Beach murders ended years of mystery in the long-cold case.
The unidentified pimp for murder victim Amber Lynn Costello didn’t know the suspect’s name, but described his car to authorities as a green Chevrolet Avalanche during a spring 2022 meeting with investigators — adding “you might want to look at him,” Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison told the Daily News in a Saturday interview.
“The turning point was the car,” said Harrison, who made the investigation a priority last year. “Once we got that car, who it connected to, that’s when the investigation got legs.”
The pimp crossed paths with Heuermann in September 2010 during a planned robbery of the now-accused murderer, but quickly backed off because the 6-foot-6, 270-pound suburban dad was “the size of a mountain,” said Harrison.
The pimp also described the serial killer suspect as “being into prostitutes.”
For more than a decade, Heuermann was hiding in plain sight: Walking from his Long Island home to catch the train and working in his Manhattan office, his gruesome secrets untold as the years passed without suspicion — much less an arrest.
But once police connected the vehicle to Heuermann, the investigation intensified, Harrison said. Court papers detail how investigators used cellphone site data to track the defendant’s whereabouts during the times of the slayings, and discovered burner phones employed by Heuermann to arrange his meetings with the victims.
Heuermann’s DNA was also found on a pizza crust pulled from the defendant’s garbage, and authorities linked the suspect to a hair found in a piece of burlap used to move the corpse of victim Megan Waterman, officials said.
A review of Heuermann’s online searches in the last 16 months revealed a terrifying litany of subjects, including the names of the four victims and the words “Long Island Serial Killer.”
“We had to treat him as a maniac,” said Harrison. “There are people who have a family, then go out and do all types of horrible things. That’s what serial killers do. They lead two lives.”
The hulking 59-year-old suspect was finally arrested on a Manhattan street this past Thursday for the killings of three suburban xes workers in 2009 and 2010, with authorities saying charges in a fourth murder were likely.
Their remains were all discovered in Gilgo Beach, L.I., and Harrison would not rule out Heuermann as a suspect in the murders of another six women whose bodies were found in the remote stretch of the suburbs.
A high-ranking NYPD source said city detectives will now investigate whether the accused multiple-murderer was connected with any unsolved homicides in the five boroughs. Police will specifically run his DNA for any potential matches, the source told The News.
Harrison recounted his emotion-packed meeting with relatives of three victims before the arrest was announced on Friday.
“They were very, very grateful,” he said. “Tears in their eyes, very happy to have a sense of closure.”
A Bronx neighbor of victim Melissa Barthelemy recalled recognizing her face on television after the arrest, remembering how the young woman was often seen heading out for cigarettes or coffee in the mornings before her disappearance and death.
“I was so happy when I heard the news,” said Martha Lameda, 64, about the arrest. “I told my sisters, ‘Come on, breaking news, they got the guy who killed the woman down the block.’ And everybody was like ‘Thank goodness, what a creep.’”
Court documents allege the accused killer made taunting calls to Barthelemy’s sister after the murder.
The case of the fourth victim, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, was pending, with criminal charges expected in her death, officials said. In three of the murders, Heuermann’s wife and children were out of state and he was left alone at home, officials said.
Stunned colleagues of Heuermann were still reeling from his arrest near his Midtown architecture office, with the suspect still behind bars for the three murders. The accused killer pleaded innocent Friday to all charges in the high-profile prosecution.
“I was throwing up all morning,” one longtime associate told the Daily News. “I can’t believe it. He was a normal guy. His daughter worked in the office, she was there every day as a receptionist.”
The man said police grabbed his computer as they seized evidence from the office.
A former client of the architect recalled his first meeting 12 years ago with Heuermann, remembering the alleged predator as soft-spoken and professional, the kind of guy who might have one beer with his lunch.
“I’m thinking this is something I never had any idea about,” he said. “I’m in shock. I’m flipping out.”
Angie Teater, in a social media post, recalled the weird vibes when her design school class went to the defendant’s RH Architecture office in Manhattan for a discussion on career paths.
“Strange life twist: when a serial killer is arrested and you realize you’ve met him!!!” she wrote. “I remember thinking I’d never want to work for that guy — there was an ick factor — but in my wildest dreams wouldn’t have imagined him to be a serial killer.”
Another former client who hired Heuermann about seven years ago was aghast at his brush with the accused murderer.
“I can’t believe he’s done the crazy things he’s done,” said Jerome Lordet. ”I couldn’t believe it. That this guy was sitting at my dining room table, with my ex-wife and my kid. Who knows what could have happened?”
