The sister-in-law of the New York architect charged in a series of killings on Long Island says she was 'stunned' and in 'profound' disbelief following his arrest in the murders of three women from more than a decade ago.
"I vacillate between desperately wanting my niece and nephew’s life returned to its previous state, intact, without a father accused of being a serial killer to being pleased and secure in knowing that someone is in custody," Ellerup said."My ego has great difficulty processing the idea that I looked Rex in the eye and was unable to discern any murderous intentions.
Ellerup and her family"are going through a devastating time in their lives," Macedonio said in a statement to NBC News on Friday afternoon. "The sensitive nature of her husband’s arrest is taking an emotional toll on the immediate and extended family, especially their elderly family members." Authorities have said Ellerup was out of state at the time of the killings and isn’t considered a suspect.
The Suffolk County Police commissioner said this week that Heuermann’s family was shocked when they learned of the allegations against him.
