Heuermann Doc Reveals Private Confessions as Ex-Wife Sleeps in Basement 'Kill Room'

A new documentary surfaces his private confessions to family, detailing a basement kill room.

Overview

  • Peacock’s finale on Thursday shows Asa Ellerup saying she sleeps in the gutted Massapequa Park basement where Rex Heuermann told her he dismembered victims.
  • Heuermann, who pleaded guilty on April 8 to seven murders and admitted an eighth, is set to receive life-without-parole sentencing on June 17.
  • Ellerup says he confessed that seven women were killed in the home and that the first victim, Sandra Costilla, was killed in his vehicle.
  • Therapist Alison T. Winter describes a four-day pattern for the crimes with preparation, killing, cleanup and a buffer day, plus a checklist and timed body dumps.
  • The family’s lawyer says IRS liens prevent a home sale and that they struggle to find work, leaving them isolated as onlookers treat the house like a roadside spectacle.
