Overview
- A preview of Peacock’s The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets shows Asa Ellerup saying Heuermann told her he killed eight women, seven in a basement room of their Massapequa Park house.
- Heuermann pleaded guilty on April 8 to seven murders and admitted killing an eighth victim, Karen Vergata, with formal sentencing set for June 17 to multiple life terms.
- In court he said he strangled the victims and left remains across Long Island locations including Gilgo Beach, Manorville and Southampton.
- His plea deal includes cooperation with the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit, which is interviewing him to inform profiling and other serial‑killer investigations.
- Newsday reports the family was paid for access to the Peacock series, which concludes Thursday, as the Suffolk County sheriff separately disclosed Heuermann has received letters from convicted killer Keith Hunter Jesperson while in jail.
