"Defending Suspected Serial Killer's 'Sadistic' Internet Searches in Gilgo Beach Case"

Rex Heuermann's lawyer defended his client's "sadistic" internet searches, including violent pornography, as common and downplayed new DNA evidence presented by prosecutors in the case against Heuermann, who is accused of killing four women in the Gilgo Beach case. The attorney also cast doubt on the conclusion of Shannan Gilbert's death being an accident. Heuermann faces multiple murder charges and is being held without bail.

Unveiling the Dark Secrets of the Gilgo Beach Murders

Rex Heuermann, who has been charged with murder in the Gilgo Beach case, lived with his wife, Asa Ellerup, and their two children in a rundown red house. While his wife has not been charged and was reportedly out of state or out of the country during the killings, questions have arisen about her knowledge of her husband's actions. Criminologists note that it is not uncommon for the families of serial killers to be completely unaware of their darker compulsions, as killers are often able to compartmentalize their lives. The couple's reclusive and enigmatic nature, along with their unkempt home, has left neighbors speculating about their relationship and family life.
