Did Rex Heuermann Really Confess That He Killed Seven Women in Their Basement?

from Hidden Killers Live! Daily True Crime News & Breakdowns · host Hidden Killers Podcast

He did. In a supervised jailhouse visit, Rex Heuermann told his ex-wife Asa Ellerup that he killed eight women — and that seven of them died in the basement of the Massapequa Park house where they raised their children. He timed the killings for when the family was away on vacation.Asa's reaction to the confession is captured in the Peacock documentary The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets. She addressed him as Mr. Heuermann — not Rex — when she asked him to confirm the number. Their daughter Victoria has since told producers she believes her father most likely committed the murders. Asa's attorney has said she may never fully accept it.This is a live conversation between Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott about what happens inside a family when a serial killer confesses. Not the legal fallout — the psychological one. What it does to memory, identity, and the ability to trust your own perception of the person you lived with for nearly three decades.
