ALLEGED Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann has abandoned his wife hours before a crucial court hearing as she cuts ties and vows to “move on.”
Nearly two years after Heuermann, an architect from Massapequa, New York, was arrested for the murders of multiple women, he and his wife, Asa Ellerup, have called it quits.

The couple reached a divorce settlement on Thursday night, a mere hours before Heuermann was due in court for a hearing on Friday morning about whether prosecutors can use crucial DNA evidence in the case.
Prosecutors say that the evidence connects the alleged killer to the murder of seven women on Long Island from the early 1990s to the early 2010s.
The women were all found along Ocean Parkway, which is the road that Long Islanders take to visit several famed beaches, including Gilgo Beach.
Heuermann and Ellerup signed divorce papers Thursday night, but it still has to be made final by a judge.
Ellerup’s divorce attorney Robert Macedonio, who confirmed that the couple reached a settlement to Newsday, said: “After 29 years of marriage, Ms. Ellerup realizes it’s time to move on with her life and focus on a future for her and her children.”
However, the estranged wife still plans to show up to court Friday morning.
