Accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann has been visited by his attorney — but not his adult kids or estranged wife — in the two weeks he’s been jailed, The Post has learned.
Heuermann, 59, can watch television, including the news, and request newspapers, though he has not yet asked for a copy of the paper, Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Victoria DiStefano told The Post Thursday. The jail does not offer access to the Internet.
But the 59-year-old has so far only been visited by one person — his attorney — during his time in the slammer, where he remains on suicide watch and is kept in a jail cell alone, DiStefano said.
He also gets regular recreation time in a yard outdoors, can receive mail and has access to a law library, all while being kept until a strict security protocol.
“We will continue to cease all movement when he is outside of his housing unit to ensure the protection of our officers, Heuermann and all of the individuals incarcerated in the Suffolk County Correctional Facility,” DiStefano wrote in an email to The Post.
The life he knew as a successful, married, New York City architect was completely upended July 13, when he was arrested in connection with the years-old murders of at least three women.
Heuermann’s estranged wife, Asa Ellerup, and their kids returned to the family’s Massapequa Park home Thursday morning, when Ellerup screamed at reporters and flipped them the bird.
“Don’t talk to me,” she could be heard shouting at a reporter from the front yard of her home, where her son also sat. “Wanna take pictures? Go ahead … Don’t talk to me.”
When asked if she was staying in the home, Ellerup responded: “Please, leave me alone. That’s none of your business.”
She then gave reporters the middle finger before the video cut out.
Her kids, 26-year-old Victoria Heuermann and Christopher Sheridan, 33, were also present, with the elder appearing to wipe his face and cover his eyes.
Police had spent days digging the property in a search for new evidence against Heuermann, from whom Ellerup has since filed for divorce. Before discontinuing the search at the home earlier this week, they revealed the discovery of a sound-proof, walk-in vault.
The village of Massapequa Park is now reportedly considering buying the home in an attempt to quell the consistent flood of media and true crime fanatics to the area.
Heuermann’s shocking arrest came 13 years after several women were found killed along Long Island’s Gilgo Beach and surrounding areas.
He has been charged with six counts of murder — three in the first-degree and three more in the second — in the deaths of Melissa Barthelemy, 24, Megan Waterman, 22, Amber Lynn Costello, 27.
The women’s bodies were found along the same stretch of Long Island’s Gilgo Beach between June and September 2010.
Heuermann is also being eyed in the case of the death of Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25, whose body was found on the same beach years earlier.
Suspected serial killer Rex Heuermann — a New York City architect and married dad of two — was arrested in connection with the long-unsolved Gilgo Beach murders. The arrest is tied to the so-called “Gilgo Four,” women found wrapped in burlap within days of each other in late 2010.
The years-long investigation that led to the arrest revolved around the discovery of more than 10 sets of human remains along Ocean Parkway near Gilgo Beach in Suffolk County between December 2010 and April 2011.
Most victims were petite female sex workers with green or hazel eyes. But there were also two exceptions: a 2-year-old girl and a young Asian man.
Jail officials previously said Heuermann was “very comfortable” in his cell within the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office’s Riverhead Facility.
“He’s indicated to my staff that he would not be any issue to us and would be extremely compliant, so we’ll see how that plays out in the days and weeks ahead,” Suffolk County Sheriff Errol Toulon previously told WCBS 880.
