In a recent episode of the popular podcast, "Hidden Killers," hosted by Tony Brueski, discussions delve deep into the perplexing life of Rex Heuermann's wife, Asa. Rex, a suspected serial killer, has been the subject of major news outlets, but it's Asa's recent actions that have caught the media's attention.
As Tony Brueski mentions, the grieving process is highly personal. Yet, there's been widespread criticism about Asa's apparent lack of empathy towards the victims her husband is accused of murdering. Rather than expressing sorrow or remorse, Asa has been seen "complaining about the house", "asking for money", and even "flipping off the press". Notably, she often sits on her porch, seemingly taunting the journalists who camp outside her home.
Guest psychologist, John Delatorre, provides a different perspective. He believes that if Asa genuinely had no idea about her husband's crimes, her anger might be justified. Delatorre says, "If you legitimately did not know that your partner was engaging in the heinous acts and the police came in and completely upended your life, I'd be upset too." He further speculates that her personality may have always been of a self-centered nature, which could have contributed to her remaining oblivious to her husband's activities and made her a suitable partner for Rex.
There's a rising sentiment that Asa exhibited "willful ignorance". Considering the wealth amassed by the couple, estimated between $5 to $7 million, one wonders if financial stability played a part in her decision to ignore possible nefarious activities. Delatorre agrees that financial incentives could lead individuals to overlook certain behaviors: "If you have money and you don't have to worry then if something threatens that, you're probably gonna close ranks because no one wants to lose money."
Adding another layer to the intrigue, despite the apparent wealth, Asa has promoted a GoFundMe campaign, claiming her insurance will soon lapse and that she suffers from cancer. The campaign has been a point of contention, with some arguing that public funding is inappropriate for someone with such significant assets. Delatorre, however, suggests that the true nature of Asa's financial status remains unclear. He raises the possibility that legal fees for Rex's defense might consume a large chunk of their wealth.
In addition to this financial debate, attorney John Ray, representing some of the victims, has expressed concerns about the fundraising efforts. The core question remains: Is Asa's plea for public funds genuine or a strategic move amidst the turmoil?
The case of Rex Heuermann and his wife's behavior poses more questions than answers. Asa's actions, as described on "Hidden Killers", highlight the myriad of ways individuals react in the face of tragedy and scandal, adding another dimension to an already complex and chilling case. As developments unfold, the public remains captivated by the enigmatic life of a serial killer's spouse.
