Wife of Gilgo Beach murders suspect says she's giving husband "benefit of the doubt"

The wife of Rex Heuermann, the man suspected of killing four women around Gilgo Beach on Long Island in New York, issued a statement Wednesday saying she is giving her husband "the benefit of the doubt."

Asa Ellerup said in a statement through her attorneys that she sympathized with the victims and their families and that "nobody deserves to die in that manner."

"I will listen to all of the evidence and withhold judgment until the end of trial," she said. "I have given Rex the benefit of the doubt, as we all deserve."
