Asa Ellerup Divorced Rex Heuermann and Kept Visiting Him in Jail — Why?

Asa Ellerup filed for divorce from Rex Heuermann after his arrest. Then she kept visiting him. She showed up to court appearances. She participated in a Peacock documentary. She sat across from him in a supervised jailhouse visit and asked him directly how many women he killed. He said eight.From the outside that looks like a contradiction — you leave a person legally and then keep showing up. But psychotherapist Shavaun Scott says the contradiction is the point. The divorce protects the self. The visits protect the version of reality she built her entire adult life around. Both things can run at the same time inside someone who is trying to survive information that rewrites everything.Heuermann told Asa that seven of the eight murders happened in their basement while she and the kids were on vacation. Their daughter Victoria says she now believes he did it. Asa's own attorney says she may never get there. Scott joins Tony Brueski to explain how a person processes a confession that turns their marriage, their home, and their memories into evidence — and why leaving legally is sometimes the easy part.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
