In a surprising turn of events, Asa Ellerup, the 59-year-old wife of suspected Long Island serial killer Rex Heuermann, has filed for divorce on Wednesday. The divorce filing comes on the same day when previously unseen photos of her surfaced, adding further intrigue to the high-profile case.
According to online court records from Suffolk County Supreme Court, Asa Ellerup submitted a matrimonial complaint against her husband of more than two decades. The news of the divorce has left many shocked and disgusted, as the community tries to come to terms with the allegations against Rex Heuermann.
The divorce proceedings fall under the protection of New York State law, keeping the details sealed from public scrutiny. However, the case and parties involved, including Asa Ellerup and Rex Heuermann, have been docketed and posted in the records.
The filing, titled "Asa Ellerup v. Rex Heuermann," is categorized as an "uncontested" matrimonial case and is dated Wednesday. Alongside the complaint and summons, there is a "notice concerning continuation of health care coverage" that was also filed and processed. These documents, however, have not been made public.
Interestingly, the divorce filing first came to light on Wednesday evening when Daily Beast reporter Pilar Melendez shared the information on Twitter, sparking public interest and speculation about the couple's relationship.
As the investigation into the alleged serial killings continues, the divorce adds another layer of complexity to an already deeply disturbing case. Authorities have not yet released any official statements about the divorce filing or how it might impact the ongoing investigation.
