- Rex Heuermann, who recently pleaded guilty to seven murders, reportedly confessed to his ex-wife, Asa Ellerup, that he killed eight women.
- Ellerup stated in a new documentary that Heuermann admitted to committing seven of these murders in the basement of their Long Island home.
- This confession to Ellerup occurred shortly before Heuermann's guilty plea on April 8, where he pleaded guilty to seven murders and admitted to causing the death of an eighth victim, Karen Vergata, as part of a plea deal.
- Ellerup described Heuermann as “very nervous” during their conversation, where she used formalities to distance herself from him.
- The documentary, The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets, featuring Ellerup's account, has faced criticism over reported payments to the family for their participation.
