    Rex Heuermann Charged With 2 More LISK Murders
    Jun 14 2024
    In a recent episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," former felony prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis discusses the escalating charges against Rex Heuermann, now linked to six murders. Initially charged with four murders, Heuermann is now accused of killing Jessica Taylor and Sandra Costella. Taylor’s partial remains were found near Gilgo Beach in 2011 and later linked to other remains in Marionville, while Costella’s remains were discovered in 1993 in the Hamptons. Faddis speculates on the new evidence uncovered during recent searches, including possible connections through items found in Heuermann’s home. The conversation touches on the potential impact of a true crime documentary by Peacock and 50 Cent, which might be aiding the investigation. As more bodies are linked to Heuermann, the discussion explores the possible extent of his crimes and whether his wife, Asa Ellerup, should divorce him. The benefits of divorce could include spousal privilege and securing assets, though this remains complex legally. The episode delves into the chilling implications of Heuermann’s alleged decades-long spree and the legal and personal ramifications for those involved.

    - Rex Heuermann is now charged with six murders, including Jessica Taylor and Sandra Costella.
