Life as they knew it instantly fell apart. As architect Rex Heuermann was arrested in NYC in July, police simultaneously descended on his Long Island home. After ordering the accused Gilgo Beach Serial Killer’s family out, investigators spent the next 12 days tearing the property up “from the floorboards to the shingles,” a lawyer representing Rex’s daughter, Victoria Heuermann, 26, and stepson, Christopher Sheridan, 33, revealed. After sleeping in a rental car, Heuermann’s wife, Asa Ellerup, 59, returned to pick up the pieces with her devastated kids, who’d “cry themselves to sleep,” she said, adding that Christopher, who has developmental disabilities, has been “so distraught and doesn’t understand.”
There are only a few people in the world who can possibly relate to their unique nightmare. With Heuermann, 60, in jail awaiting trial for the murders of three women, his family has found support from the loved ones of convicted serial killers. Melissa Moore is the daughter of Keith Jesperson, known as the Happy Face Killer, who was arrested in 1995 for murdering eight women.
