Rex Heuermann’s family appears to be facing the financial consequences of the serial killer’s actions as his sentencing draws near.

A lawyer representing the disgraced architect’s ex-wife, Asa Ellerup, and their two children, Victoria Heuermann and Christopher Sheridan, revealed that they have been unable to sell his home, where he reportedly dismembered seven of his eight victims.

The legal representative also noted that the family’s social life has significantly declined since Rex Heuermann was arrested in 2023 for the murders of the Long Island sex workers.

The Family Of Rex Heuermann Is ‘Financially Distraught’

Robert Macedonio, the attorney representing Asa Ellerup and her children, has revealed the financial toll Heuermann’s crimes appear to be taking on the family.

In a discussion with the New York Post, he claimed that the family has been unable to sell the home Ellerup received as part of her divorce from Heuermann due to IRS liens.

This, he claimed, scuttled plans to build a new home, which would have helped distance themselves from the smear of Heuermann’s crimes.

According to the attorney, the family is also currently “unemployable” and facing financial strain, despite reportedly receiving a substantial payout for their participation in Peacock’s four-part documentary series, “The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets.”

“If anything, it’s cost them money. They’re unemployable at this point. Who’s hiring them? They are financially distraught because nobody’s hiring them, there’s no income,” Macedonio shared with the outlet.

Asa Ellerup And Her Kids Have Lost Their Social Life

For Heuermann’s family, their losses have also come in the form of suffering a decline in their social life, while the home they have been unable to sell has become a strange attraction for curious onlookers.

“There is no social life,” Macedonio said. “They pretty much all exist together, travel together. If you go to the grocery store and you get pointed out.”

He added, “People walk by the house constantly — it’s like a tourist attraction, taking pictures, pointing.”

Rex Heuermann’s Family’ Can’t Afford To Leave’ Their Home

The Heuermann family’s attorney also pointed out that Ellerup and her children can do nothing about their living situation, which further makes their circumstances more sorrowful.

“Everybody wants to make an issue about the Peacock, the money, money, money,” the lawyer said of the alleged approximately $1 million they receive for the Peacock doc.

He added, “But honestly, they can’t afford to leave that house. There’s nowhere to go. They’re honestly stuck in that house right now, horrific as it may be. That’s where they are.”

The Family Was ‘Completely Blindsided’ By Rex Heuermann’s Crimes

Following Heuermann’s arrest in 2023, the family was investigated by police to determine whether they were accomplices to his crimes.

While they have all been cleared, speculation continues regarding their involvement, although Ellerup has denied having any knowledge.

That has been echoed by the attorney, who claimed that she and the two children were “completely blindsided” by the situation and at first did not believe it until it became clear that Heuermann had been living a double life all along.

“The whole life you thought you were living for the past approximately 30 years is not what it was,” Macedonio remarked. “They were in complete denial. They thought it was a conspiracy theory, wrong person, there’s no way. This is not the Rex that they knew; this is not the dad that Victoria knew. It’s been a process to bring them to the realization that Rex did this.”

Rex Heuermann’s Ex-Wife Said She Is Haunted By Dreams

In the Peacock documentary, whose final episode aired on April 23, 2026, Ellerup shared her side of the situation, including sharing how her ex-husband once confessed to his murders.

However, more emotionally revealing was her claim that she continues to bear the mental weight of his crimes despite being divorced from him.

“Every night when I go to sleep, I am haunted by dreams. Every night,” the mother of two confessed in the final episode of the doc, per the New York Post.

“It will never go away. It will follow me for the rest of my life. There will never be any justice for anyone, and there will never be any way to forget about this,” she added emotionally.

On June 17, Heuermann will be sentenced and then transferred to prison, where he will begin serving three life sentences without parole.
