Accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann may have murdered victims at his family’s home while his wife and kids were out of town — because it gave him “all the time in the world” and access to items such as tape and burlap bags, according to a law-enforcement source.
The women who Heuermann allegedly killed had disappeared during periods when his wife, Asa Ellerup, 59, and two adult children were traveling — possibly prompting him to lure the victims to their modest ramshackled house in Massapequa Park, Long Island, instead of a hotel, the source told The Post on Friday.
Slaying the women at his house would give Heuermann a controlled setting and “make it easier to remove the bodies” in the bag without being seen, the source noted.
“It was a theory from day one by some investigators that he committed some of the crimes in his home,” the source said.
“Investigators who think he committed it in his house say it would make sense because no one was home. He had all the time in the world, and it would be easier to remove the bodies in a burlap bag from his home, than a hotel where someone might see him.
