Rex Heuermann’s Prison Time
Rex Heuermann has been incarcerated for nearly two years now, and sources indicate he seems to feel no remorse for the seven victims he’s accused of killing.
The 61-year-old architect faces charges in connection with the deaths of a sex worker from 1993 to 2011, and allegedly left her remains along Ocean Parkway on Long Island.
His friend, David Zimenez, 63, who has visited Heuermann in prison, noted that while he won’t delve into the specifics of the crime, Heuermann appears emotionally detached from those around him.
Described as a “momma’s boy,” Heuermann had a peculiar relationship with his mother, according to insiders.
Heuermann and his second wife, Asa Ellerup, continued living in the house where they grew up after marrying in 1995. Zimenez believes Heuermann might eventually accept his situation, stating that he knows he’s lost everything important in life.
Zimenez said, “I think he has a split personality. Sometimes, when I’m with him, I can’t shake the feeling that the person next to me has committed terrible crimes.” He reflected on the darker side of Heuermann’s nature, describing behaviors that hint at psychopathy and sadism.
Even though Heuermann has pled not guilty to all charges, his wife maintains he isn’t a serial killer.
On a different note, Zimenez expressed concerns about how Heuermann will adapt to prison life, worrying that he will become a target due to his notoriety. “He’ll likely face dangers that come with his crimes. It might not happen immediately, but eventually, he’ll be in danger,” he remarked.
Zimenez has known Heuermann since 2006 and sees no signs that his friend is innocent regarding the allegations laid against him.
On the topic of the trial, Jimenez pondered, “This might be the last time Heuermann feels any control over his fate. Why not accept what you’ve done and seek help or forgiveness?” He added, “You can’t bring back those lives. Why sit through a trial?”
As Heuermann’s legal battles continue, Zimenez reflects on the grim reality of his friend’s fate. The consequences, he believes, stretch far beyond the courtroom.
