Four-Day Rituals Revealed in Gilgo Beach Killer Documentary

A Peacock documentary, Gilgo Beach Serial Killer: House of Secrets, episode four, reveals Rex Heuermann’s meticulous four‑day ritual—preparation, a basement “kill room,” a day with the bodies, and a timed disposal—used to murder multiple women. It features interviews with his ex‑wife, children and others, and notes that one disposal took as little as 37 seconds. The film also discusses Heuermann’s guilty plea and looming life sentences, the family’s $1m+ payout for participation, and a related lawsuit. His sentencing is scheduled for June 17.
