Episode four of Peacock’s Gilgo Beach Serial Killer: House of Secrets features interviews with Rex Heuermann’s family
The meticulous rituals of the Long Island serial killer, Rex Heuermann, have been revealed in a Peacock documentary released on Thursday.
The confessed killer of eight women relays via a therapist that he maintained a four-day ritual of preparation, building trust with his victims, murdering them in a basement “kill room”, a day of “playtime” with their bodies, and then using a stopwatch to perfect dumping them on a beach 20 miles from his home. He would use the fourth day to deal with any unforeseen complications.
The grisly revelations are made in episode four of the documentary, Gilgo Beach Serial Killer: House of Secrets, which collected wide-ranging interviews with Heuermann’s ex-wife, Asa Ellerup, daughter Victoria and a son.
Heuermann has admitted to killing Melissa Barthelemy, 24, Megan Waterman, 22, and Amber Lynn Costello, 27, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, 25, Jessica Taylor, 20, Sandra Costilla, 28, Valerie Mack, 24, and Karen Vergata, 34.
