Overview

  • Rex Heuermann remains jailed after pleading not guilty to seven Gilgo Beach murder charges dating back to 1993.
  • Prosecutors say DNA from victim hairs and a pizza box ties Heuermann to all seven murders, and they allege he kept a detailed “how-to” document suggesting killings in his childhood home’s basement.
  • Peacock’s “The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets” includes Victoria Heuermann’s on-camera shift to believing her father’s guilt alongside Asa Ellerup’s ongoing skepticism.
  • Asa Ellerup filed for divorce shortly after his 2023 arrest and has listed their Massapequa Park home while seeking a fresh start for herself and their children.
  • Friend David Jimenez reports Heuermann has shown no remorse in jail and warns that the nature of the alleged crimes could make him a target if he is sent to prison.
