The wife of the suspected Long Island serial killer has broken her silence about the ordeal her family has been facing following her husband’s arrest on charges of murder.

Asa Ellerup, the second spouse of Rex Heuermann, accompanied by their daughter Victoria, was spotted in public for the first time since his arrest.

Heuermann was taken into custody in Manhattan last Thursday and accused of being the Long Island Serial Killer responsible for the deaths of three women found dead in Gilgo Beach in late 2010. He is also considered a prime suspect in another murder.

According to her attorney, Bob Macedonio, Ms Ellerup filed for divorce in Suffolk County Supreme Court on Wednesday, six days after her husband’s arrest.

Mr Macedonio confirmed that he was hired by Ms Ellerup over the weekend before officially filing the documents with the court…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

The lawyer refrained from delving into the specifics of the filing but confirmed that the divorce proceedings were underway, and the case was listed as “uncontested.”

He also revealed that the family was going through an immensely challenging time, stating: “Obviously this has been a shocking time for them and a pretty difficult time to comprehend. As with any family, it’s extremely upsetting and they’re totally shocked and caught off guard.”

Ms Ellerup and Heuermann share two children and had been residing together in the quiet enclave of Massapequa Park, in Oyster Bay, Long Island, until the recent events unfolded. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Meanwhile, authorities spent another day at the Massapequa Park home where the couple had lived, continuing their search of the premises. Police searching his home in recent days have been seen taking out boxes of material, including more than 200 firearms, a filing cabinet and a computer, as well as a large doll in a glass case and other household items.

Heuermann lived in the house, across a bay from where the remains were discovered, for decades.

On the night of July 13, Heuermann was arrested by a large number of officers shortly after leaving his midtown Manhattan office at around 8:30 pm. The following morning, he was charged with three counts of first and second-degree murder in connection to the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello.

The four women, who all worked as escorts, were found within one-quarter mile of each other, bound by belts or tape and some wrapped in burlap.

As part of the ongoing investigation, police linked Heuermann to a burner phone that was used to contact Melissa Barthelemy’s family seven times after she disappeared in mid-July 2009. In addition to the burner phones, authorities found a slew of additional incriminating evidence, including gruesome searches for child porn and rape and a bizarre fake Tinder profile.

He pleaded not guilty as he appeared in court on 14 July where he was ordered to be held without bond.

The death toll increased as a result of the village’s health facilities and resources being lacking in the ability to pump patients’ stomachs

A doctor visiting Layyah stated that victims should have been sent to Lahore or Karachi’s medical centers.

These were the only facilities with the ability to give them the required medical assistance to keep them alive. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

The investigation into the matter brought forth an employee who admitted to having mistakenly added pesticide to the laddu while it was being made.

The pesticide was added to the laddu mixture instead of flavoring as the result of the label being in English with similar words to those on the flavoring used to make the treat.

Three people have been arrested and charged with violating the poisonous substances and food control laws as a result of the incident.

The owner of a nearby pesticide shop had left some there while the shop was under renovation.

The pesticide that was mixed into the laddu is banned in the entire country Pakistan and not allowed to be sold in any of the country’s stores.

Resident Muhammad Ali says that the poison for crops is often made from the substance.

Hayat’s condition is critical and so is the condition of the child’s father, several of his family members have died.

Among the fatalities are seven brothers, a sister and two children that are part of the Hayat family.

Sexuality can be exciting and also embarrassing for teens. Even when they are curious to learn all there is to know about the subject, few really want to sit down and have this awkward conversation with their parents.

Girls have a greater concern about their period. Girls don’t want to be the first or last to receive it. And when they do, they’re usually scared that the bleeding will seep into their clothes, which will lead to everyone knowing that
this time of the month has come.

Unfortunately, for one young girl, this is exactly what happened. While on her way home on the bus from school, a red stain appeared on her pants. Unfortunately, she was not the only one who noticed it.

Several children on the bus saw the stain and the young girl got extremely embarrassed…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

As we all know, children and teenagers can be cruel and vicious in such situations, so when an older boy on the bus suddenly approached her, the girl was prepared for a joke or a disgusting remark.

But instead of laughing at her, he said something that led the girl’s mother to share the story on social media.

The boy saw what had happened and decided to approach the girl. But he was not there to embarrass her any further – quite the contrary. He offered her his shirt so she could tie it around her waist. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

The girl’s mother praised the boy

The girl’s mother praised not only the boy for his wonderful gesture, but also his mother for raising and educating her son to be such a good person.

We hear a lot of negative stories about teens today so hearing something so positive is really wonderful.

After the mother posted

We can only agree. We think few teens would dare approach someone who was sitting and feeling embarrassed while others laughed and did nothing.

Feel free to share this story with your Facebook friends to make a tribute to this boy for the wonderful thing he did. There is no doubt that he will be even more of a gentleman as he grows and matures!
