Massapequa Home of Rex Heuermann, Alleged Long Island Serial Killer, Reportedly Set To Go On Market

MASSAPEQUA PARK, NY – The Long Island home tied to Rex Heuermann, the alleged Long Island Serial Killer, is reportedly set to go on the market as his wife and adult children leave New York to start anew. The modest, single-story house in Massapequa Park has long been associated with the accused, who investigators believe is responsible for multiple murders dating back to the 1990s.

The case, which remained unsolved for decades, saw a breakthrough in 2023 when DNA evidence, along with cell phone and credit card records, linked Heuermann to several victims. Authorities have attributed at least ten murders in the area to the killer, referred to as “LISK” in Robert Kolker’s 2013 book Lost Girls: An American Unsolved Mystery.

Heuermann, a 60-year-old architect, denies the charges and has entered a not-guilty plea in connection with six deaths. Despite the accusations, his wife, Asa Ellerup, has maintained her belief in his innocence. However, the repeated law enforcement raids of their home have taken an emotional toll, prompting her decision to move with their children to South Carolina.

The house, where Heuermann reportedly lived since childhood, has fallen into disrepair over the years. Neighbors have described it as poorly maintained and in stark contrast to Heuermann’s professional appearance. Law enforcement searches have left the interior significantly damaged, and Ellerup reportedly lacks the resources to make repairs, despite compensation from participating in a documentary about the case.

In late 2023, the home was valued at $530,000, but its notoriety and deteriorated condition may complicate its sale. The property was transferred to Ellerup earlier in the year as part of her divorce proceedings, which her attorney described as a protective measure against potential legal claims from the victims’ families. The divorce is expected to finalize within months, clearing the way for the property to officially hit the market.

As the family relocates, legal proceedings against Heuermann remain ongoing. A trial date has yet to be set, though discussions are underway about potentially moving the case outside Suffolk County to ensure a fair jury. The next court hearing is scheduled for December.
