I realize that their house was turned upside down but j-traps can be bought for as little as $5.00 or $6.00. There are YouTube videos that show how to put on a new one. It can take as little as 15 minutes to replace a j-trap. The lawyers loses some credibility by focusing on this seemingly minor disruption. It would seem they would focus more on the bigger disruptions, like the back hoeing of the backyard and the removal of the deck. This news conference may have done more damage than good.

Wow, you found it! So many of us were hoping the original poster would come here and help us to find the pictures! Thank you!!!

Oh wow, didn’t know, just came across it.

Freakin crazy. There he was the whole time, it possibly appears.

Eta: wait a minute, across from Shannan’s remains? Is that an error?

“They are not the victims,” raged John Ray, a lawyer for the kin of some of the slain women, at a Long Island press conference

“The Ellerup family comes forward and says, ‘Help, give us money, look what’s happened to our home, it’s all chopped up,’” Ray said. “Well, let me ask you this: What about the victims who were chopped up? What about the victims who were wrapped up and carried somewhere and dumped?”

He has a point, as have the victims and I agree with them

However, he's doing himself no favours with these statements.

He's not doing his client any favours either.

I'm on SSDI which different than SSA. My income makes me unable to qualify for Medicaid but fortunately at least in New Jersey there is a program that pays most all prescriptions with a $5.00-$7.00 copay for 90 day prescriptions. It's a life saver for me especially now with the cost of living so high. It's called PAAD. I don't know if this program exists from State to State.

Also Medicaid recipients cannot have savings over $2,000.00, it may be higher now since I knew this several years ago. Which concerns me with AE. She can't have that much money from the in her name or she wouldn't qualify for Medicaid or food stamps. I hope her lawyer is able to get her through the process of applying for all these available programs.

I did it on my own when filing and went through the disability and was approved within months. Normally no one get approved the first time they apply, it usually take 2 years to get approval. Mine didn't happen because of luck, I just happen to know the process and it can be hard for some who is sick. I wish I could help her but I don't live close enough to her even though I'm in New Jersey.

Can you qualify for food stamps if your salary is a certain amount? I tried to help a neighbor with the process because she doesn’t have any family but they said her rent was too high to qualify. I guess if you can afford that rent rate they feel that you can afford groceries.

Is Medicaid different from state to state?

I was just going to mention the insurance. With the affordable health care act, open enrollment starts November 1 (I believe) she may be able to find a subsidized policy for next year while she applies for medicade. She'll qualify for medicare at 65. Sad situation for her but hopefully she'll find a great advocate to help her navigate the next few months.
You apply all at once - NYSOH will evaluate her eligibility for the whole range of options.

I’ve believed she is ever since they clarified that her filing for divorce was because she wants to protect her assets from lawsuits (presumably from victims’ estates). There’s been no indication that she is not supporting him. I think “it is what it is” is a pretty common thing for people to say when something is out of their control. I personally don’t believe her saying that when he was arrested meant that she believed he was guilty. JMO.

I don’t judge her or empathize with her any less because I suspect she currently believes he’s innocent. I imagine there are stages of acceptance, with denial likely being first. MOO
Filing for divorce makes sense if she is complicit or blindsided.

I lean to blindsided. I haven't seen any evidence that suggests to me she was an accomplice. Her hairs on bodies doesn't strike me as a smoking gun.

But filing for divorce doesn't prove anything but good financial planning, IMO and experience.

MOO

Rental costs shouldn't disqualify an applicant automatically. I'm disqualified for Medicaid because my income is too high not because of my mortgage payments. She just needs to apply and see if she qualifies and if she isn't approved she should receive a notice of denial.

She qualified and is receiving Medicade but she was denied food stamps. Is there a difference state to state?

But Ray said he had a credible witness who could confirm Ellerup was inside the Massapequa Park residence when her husband brought sex workers to their home, although the witness, a woman, has refused to speak publicly.

Ellerup “was there,” he insisted. “And she therefore is part of the conspiracy, and that conspiracy of bringing sex workers into the home led to the deaths.”
Something tells me that if there were any meat to this he would have already visited with LE. But if there is truth to his allegations/innuendo - how does John Ray know that one thing led to another - the mere act of having a sex worker in your home afaik does not lead to killing them and dumping their bodies. I am anxious to see what reaction we get to his statements. These are the type of lawyers imo that give lawyers a bad name. That applies to Asa’s lawyer as well. File to maintain her rights but enough with the grandstanding. Imo.

OMG thanks so much for finding my old post. I had actually been reading thru our original forum searching for that and couldn't find diddly squat. LOL

Do you think you could find that exact spot again and repost it zoomed out? So we can see the big picture? Is that picture even available anymore? It’s likely been replaced with newer image?

How did you peg that as an avalanche lol, assuming it’s an avalanche, more importantly “the avalanche”.

This must be hard for the victim's families when not even LE provided support and only a half-hearted search for their missing loved ones.

At that time I worked every night on maps/images and zoomed in/out, edited, etc but unfortunately I didn't save my work. But I could sure try looking for that spot again on map archives.

I can also probably find it too by matching up the terrain markers. Was just being lazy. :)

I think knowing the date of the photo is very important.
