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.

Ex-wife reveals Gilgo Beach killer confessed to eight murders in home basement

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.

Unveiling Ed Gein: The Childhood and Crimes of the 'Butcher of Plainfield'

Ed Gein, a notorious American serial killer, had a troubled childhood marked by a strict, religious mother who heavily influenced his psyche. His relationship with Augusta Gein, who instilled fears about women and morality, contributed to his later crimes, which included exhuming graves and murdering women. His mental health issues, including schizophrenia, played a significant role in his actions, and he was ultimately declared not guilty by reason of insanity and spent his remaining years in a mental institution.
