Overview
- Ellerup, in a Peacock documentary episode released Thursday, says her former husband killed women in the basement room of their Massapequa Park home and that she now sleeps in the gutted space.
- She says he told her that all but one victim were killed downstairs and that he dismembered bodies there, describing nightly dreams that still haunt her.
- Prosecutors previously found 279 weapons in a walk-in basement vault and recovered a document that outlined methods for killing and disposing of remains.
- People reports Heuermann pleaded guilty to seven murders and admitted causing the death of an eighth as part of a deal, with sentencing set for June 17 according to the New York Post.
- After the 2023 search and heavy attention at the site, Ellerup’s family moved to a home in South Carolina and plans to sell the Massapequa Park house, which local agents expect would be torn down.
