Gilgo Beach Murderer Killed Victims In Room At His Long Island Home, Ex-Wife Says In Documentary
Asa Ellerup says Heuermann told her seven victims were killed in a basement room, while he later admitted to eight killings in court.
- In the final episode of 'The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets' debuting Thursday, ex-wife Asa Ellerup reveals that Rex Heuermann admitted he killed seven of his eight victims inside their Massapequa Park home.
- Earlier this month, the 62-year-old architectural consultant pleaded guilty to murdering eight women between 1993 and 2010, confessing to strangling them and dumping their remains across Gilgo Beach, Manorville, and Southampton.
- During the confrontation, Heuermann told Ellerup the victims 'were killed in his room downstairs' while appearing 'very, very nervous,' and claimed she and their children had not been home during the murders.
- With sentencing scheduled for June 17, Heuermann faces life in prison without parole; attorney Michael Brown confirmed he will cooperate with the FBI as part of the plea agreement.
- Peacock reportedly paid the family more than $1 million for documentary access, though Ellerup has asked for privacy, stating 'the focus should be on' the victims and their families.
