The estranged wife of accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann said her two children “cry themselves to sleep” following his shocking arrest — that’s left their Long Island home a complete wreck inside.
In an exclusive interview with The Post Monday, Asa Ellerup, 59, said she’s been riddled with anxiety after investigators spent 12 days ripping up her Massapequa Park home in their search for evidence in the alleged slayings.

“My children cry themselves to sleep. I mean, they’re not children. They’re grown adults but they’re my children, and my son has developmental disabilities and he cried himself to sleep,” she continued about the emotional toll the stunning case has had on her kids.

Asked what she meant, Ellerup’s lawyer, Bob Macedonio, chimed in, “She meant what they’ve done to them and the family is not even human. They were just complete animals. They treated them like animals.”
