How Much Did Asa Ellerup Make From the Rex Heuermann Story?

from Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary · host True Crime Today

Over a million dollars. That is what Asa Ellerup reportedly earned from a Peacock documentary about her ex-husband — the man who pleaded guilty to killing eight women, seven of them inside the house they shared for twenty-seven years.The families of those women are suing her. Valerie Mack’s son filed a wrongful death lawsuit naming Asa, her daughter Victoria, and Rex Heuermann. The claim is civil conspiracy — not that Asa failed to notice what was happening, but that she actively concealed it. The Suffolk County DA’s office cleared her in the criminal investigation. The civil case does not care.Asa’s hair was found on victims. Prosecutors called it household transference and moved on. In a civil courtroom, where the standard is preponderance of evidence instead of beyond a reasonable doubt, that dismissal gets reexamined. Her own words on camera — “I did what I had to do to protect myself and my children” — become exhibits. Protect herself from what?She renovated the basement where the murders allegedly occurred. She sleeps in that basement. She did a documentary about her nightmares while the families were preparing a lawsuit.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis examines whether the lawsuit survives a motion to dismiss, what the lower civil standard means for the evidence the DA already rejected, and whether the real goal of this case is not a verdict — it is getting Asa Ellerup under oath for the first time.The criminal case is closed. The civil case is just beginning.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
