  • Inside the Mind of Asa Ellerup: FBI Profiler Breaks Down the Gilgo Beach Killer’s Home Life

    Inside the Mind of Asa Ellerup: FBI Profiler Breaks Down the Gilgo Beach Killer’s Home Life

    In this special full-length edition of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski is joined by Robin Dreeke—retired FBI Special Agent and former chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—for a masterclass in psychological profiling, emotional survival, and the terrifying ease with which evil can thrive inside a family home.

    Together, they dissect the marriage between Asa Ellerup and accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann. Through footage from Peacock’s documentary, The Gilgo Beach Killer: Secrets of a Serial Killer, Robin examines Asa’s emotional patterns, her lack of curiosity, and what her devotion may reveal about how Rex was able to live a double life for decades without raising alarm.

    From their earliest days together—when Rex “saved” Asa from a difficult divorce—to the secret gun vault in the basement she never questioned, every detail is unpacked through the lens of behavioral science. Why did Asa never ask what her husband did during those long weekends alone? Why did she trust him so completely, even when DNA evidence tied her family to the victims?

    We also explore the conflicted voice of Victoria Heuermann, their daughter, who is caught between love and revulsion. Like Kerri Rawson, daughter of BTK, Victoria must now reconcile the man who built her a dollhouse with the man now accused of horrific crimes.

    Robin Dreeke breaks down how manipulation, grooming, denial, and emotional projection form the perfect storm for long-term concealment—and how that storm unraveled in one Long Island household.

    This isn’t just about a killer. It’s about the people who lived with him. And what they may have known—or refused to see.

  • "He's My Hero" - Gilgo Beach Killer's Wife Defends Rex Heuermann Despite DNA on Bodies | Psychologist Reacts

    "He's My Hero" - Gilgo Beach Killer's Wife Defends Rex Heuermann Despite DNA on Bodies | Psychologist Reacts

    "He's My Hero" - Gilgo Beach Killer's Wife Defends Rex Heuermann Despite DNA on Bodies | Psychologist Reacts

    In this deeply disturbing analysis of the Peacock documentary, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and I decode the most baffling true crime mystery: How did Rex Heuermann's family NOT KNOW he was allegedly the Long Island Serial Killer?
    We examine Asa Ellerup's shocking devotion to her husband despite DNA evidence linking him to seven murders. From her declaration that "he's my hero" to her bizarre claim that saying "I love you" would hurt him, we explore the psychological phenomenon of "negative hallucination" - not seeing what's right in front of you.

    Key revelations include:

    • The secret room with a steel door that even his wife couldn't enter
    • Why Rex was present 90% of the time but killed during the 10% when family was away
    • How he chose a vulnerable, submissive partner who wouldn't question him
    • Victoria Heuermann's evolution from defender to believing he's "most likely" guilty
    • The disturbing prison phone calls where Asa still lights up hearing his voice
    • Why trauma bonding can survive even murder charges
    This isn't just about the Gilgo Beach murders - it's about how predators select and manipulate their own families, creating expanding circles of trauma. We explore cognitive dissonance, compartmentalization, and the psychology of denial in one of the most complex true crime cases of our time.
