The attorney for two Gilgo Beach victims' families whose cases remain
unresolved is casting doubt on prosecutors' conclusions regarding the
death of one of his clients and whether the suspected killer's wife was
out of town during the murders as investigators have maintained.
If the attorney for several Gilgo victims' families is right that Rex
Heuermann's wife played a role assisting her suspected serial killer
husband, the entire case against him would fall apart due to "reasonable
doubt," Asa Ellerup's lawyer argues, while denying the allegations.
Although Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney has said
repeatedly that Ellerup was out of town during each of the murders her
husband is accused of committing, attorney John Ray questioned that
conclusion Tuesday night at a symposium he hosted at St. John's
University in Queens.

COLLECTION SEIZED BY POLICE
If Tierney is wrong about Ellerup, the entire case could fall apart, her
lawyer, Bob Macedonio, told Fox News Digital.
"When, in the course of any investigations on any criminal matters, do
they do that up front in a bail application?" he said. "Very, very
rarely. … If he's wrong, it creates reasonable doubt in his whole case."
But, according to Ray, he spoke to a hotel manager who told him Ellerup
and her children arrived in Atlantic City later than when investigators
believe they did, which would mean they would have been in town during
at least one of the murders.
Macedonio has denied that claim outright and sent a letter to the hotel
Ray identified demanding it either disclose the employee responsible for
a "breach" of his client's confidential information or comment on the
record if the claim is untrue.
Ray also said he has a witness who met the suspected killer and his wife
at a "swinger party" in 1996, another claim Macedonio has vehemently
rejected.

"The DA’s statement would be a potential problem if it were wrong," said
Neama Rahmani, a Los Angeles-based former federal prosecutor with no
ties to the case. "But why would the DA argue something they were unsure
of?"
Ray represents the family of Shannan Gilbert, the 25-year-old woman who
vanished May 1, 2010, after telling a 911 dispatcher, "There's somebody
after me." Gilbert's disappearance kicked off an investigation that
ultimately uncovered 11 bodies along a stretch of Ocean Parkway, about
45 miles east of New York City.
The remains included the "Gilgo Four" — Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25,
Melissa Barthelemy, 24, Megan Waterman, 22, and Amber Costello, 27.
Their families are being represented by another prominent attorney,
Gloria Allred, who made a surprise appearance at Heuermann's most recent
court date in January, when Suffolk County prosecutors announced the
charges in Brainard-Barnes' death.
Their bodies were disposed of near one another and under similar
circumstances. Heuermann is facing murder charges in each of their
deaths.
"The FBI, Suffolk detectives, deputy sheriffs, everybody across the law
enforcement board has eliminated Asa and Victoria (Heuermann) as
suspects and as even being in the jurisdiction during any of the four
homicides," Macedonio said.
Further along the highway, police found seven additional sets of
remains, including Gilbert's.
Police said in 2022 they believed Gilbert died accidentally while
running in the marsh after placing an erratic 911 call in which she
sounded heavily inebriated and disoriented while pleading for help.
A task force investigating the Gilgo Beach murders is still examining
the remaining deaths, Tierney said.

MATTERS
"Shannan came from a house party, which was no relation to any of Rex's
allegations of being at house parties up there," Macedonio said. "And
you look at serial killers, serial killers work alone. They don't work
in teams."
Ray said he has witnesses who linked Heuermann to Gilbert's death and to
the disappearance of Karen Vergata, who was last seen alive on
Valentine's Day in 1996.
Vergata's hands and feet were recovered in 1996 on Fire Island, which is
to the east of Gilgo Beach.
However, she was not identified until earlier this year.
There could be a financial payout for the victim's families if Ellerup
is somehow linked to the crimes. She is divorcing her architect husband
and recently signed a deal for a streaming documentary with 50 Cent as
the producer.
"A lot of people think Ellerup knew what Heuermann was up to, even if
she didn’t actually participate in the murders as an accomplice or
accessory," Rahmani said. "At a minimum, there are allegations that
Ellerup was present at the sex parties and lied about being out of town
when the murders happened."

INTERNET SEARCHES IN GILGO BEACH CASE
Those allegations were raised in an affidavit last year by an anonymous
witness who appeared in person at Ray's symposium Tuesday and elaborated
on the claim.
"That’s why I’m surprised Ellerup is participating in the Peacock
documentary," Rahmani added. "She may need the money, but she also has
potential criminal exposure."
While former Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison once
stood beside Ray during a press conference on the explosive allegations,
Tierney's office responded with a press release noting that private
attorneys for families are not part of the law enforcement task force.
"Any citizen who believes that they have relevant evidence regarding the
Gilgo Beach investigation should report it to the investigative agencies
that comprise the Task Force," he said at the time. "Those agencies are
the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, the Suffolk County Police
Department’s Homicide Bureau, Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office, New York
State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation."
