This is a killer deal.
A home buyer who has $700,000 and doesn’t mind having breakfast near the spot where police were searching for the bodies of murdered prostitutes may soon see the real estate deal of a lifetime.
The estranged wife of Gilgo Beach serial killer suspect Rex Heuerman plans to sell the family’s Long Island home and move away from the site where her husband allegedly planned his gruesome murders. The New York Times reported.
Robert Macedonio, the attorney for Heuerman’s ex-wife Asa Allerup, said the house has become a tourist attraction, attracting large numbers of morbid visitors.
“People constantly stopping in front of the house, peering and taking pictures, it has taken away any emotional attachment he had to the complex.”
Experts claimed that the single-family home’s troubled history would make it difficult to sell, and it would likely go for below market value or be purchased by a builder who would tear it down.
“I don’t think any regular consumer would buy that house,” he said. “I would say nine out of 10 consumers will be put off by this,” said real estate agent Louis Scrimenti.
The 1,323-square-foot home, which has six rooms, one bathroom and a fireplace, is priced at $697,200 According to the district.
Property was left in disrepair A 12-day police raid on the property followed in July 2023, in which police ransacked the residence – removing bathroom pieces and breaking up furniture – and dug up the backyard in search of DNA evidence and more bodies.
Officials claim to have found a disgusting thing”planning documentOn Heuerman’s computer he allegedly outlined the steps to carry out the gruesome murders. Macedonia said Ellerup, 61, lacked the funds to repair the residence.
According to her attorney Wes Mitev, Heuermann’s adult children Victoria, 28, and Christopher Sheridan, 35, who have special needs, can’t even step outside without harassment.
“Chris can’t walk his dog around the block. He gets photographed, people stop and take pictures, he gets catcalled, the whole thing. They can’t even check mail.”
Children are eager to escape “the dark cloud hanging over their heads” and get out of the house and start “the next chapter of their lives,” says Mityaev.
“The best thing that can happen is that they tear down that house and build a new house so that the memory of all this is erased,” said Albert Cella, an 80-year-old neighbor.
Heuermann, 60, is Accused of murder of six sex workers Over the course of three decades many of his remains were washed up on a Long Island beach. The disgraced former Manhattan architect is being held without bail at the Suffolk County Jail in Riverhead.
