It’s Splitsville for accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann and his wife of more than 20 years, according to a new filing in Suffolk County matrimonial court.
Asa Ellerup, 59, who shared a home with the architect and suspected murderer up until he was arrested on July 13, filed for divorce on Wednesday.
Heuermann was charged last week with the death of three sex workers whose bodies were dumped in the marsh along a desolate strip of Long Island. Suffolk County prosecutors, who have been investigating the deaths for more than 10 years, believe that he is also responsible for the death of a fourth woman whose corpse was discovered in the same general location.
