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.

A new Peacock documentary claims Rex Heuermann told his ex-wife, Asa Ellerup, that he killed eight women, and he later pled guilty to seven murders in a 17-year spree, acknowledging one additional uncharged murder. Victims include the Gilgo Four (Amber Costello, Megan Waterman, Melissa Barthelemy, Maureen Brainard-Barnes) and others; investigators found a soundproof vault-like room, hundreds of guns, and kill plans at his Massapequa home. Heuermann faces life sentences at a June 17 hearing. The revelations accompany The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets, which airs its finale on Peacock.
