Asa Ellerup, the estranged wife of the architect turned suspected Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann, revealed in a statement Wednesday night that she doesn't think her husband is 'capable' of the allegations against him. 'I will listen to all of the evidence and withhold judgment until the end of trial,' she said through her attorneys, Bob Macedonio and George Duncan. 'I have given him the benefit of the doubt, as we all deserve.

Heuermann is accused of killing a group of women known as the Gilgo Four, whose remains were all found in close proximity during the search for Shannan Gilbert, who went missing after a panicked 911 call in 2010.
However, the search uncovered the remains of the Gilgo Four and six other victims found further east down Ocean Parkway. The investigation into the remaining deaths is ongoing.
