Gilgo Beach Killer’s Family Speaks First Time in Docuseries

The three-part true-crime docuseries The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets, released exclusively on Peacock, investigates the infamous Gilgo Beach murders on Long Island, which spanned two decades and involved the deaths of sex workers known as the "Gilgo Four." The series begins with the disappearance of Shannan Gilbert, whose search led to the discovery of the remains, and details the challenges and decade-long dead ends in the investigation until the 2023 arrest of Rex Heuermann. Produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, the docuseries offers exclusive interviews with Heuermann's family, including his wife Asa Ellerup, who provides a rare glimpse into the suspect’s home life, raising questions about the compatibility of his alleged crimes with his family persona. The series also features commentary from Suffolk and Nassau County police officials and members of the media who covered the case, providing viewers with a comprehensive look at the investigation and its aftermath. The Heuermann family struggles publicly to reconcile the mounting evidence against Rex with their personal experiences, as the docuseries explores the chilling reality that the killer may have lived undetected among the community. All three episodes were released simultaneously, allowing viewers to binge the series on Peacock's premium streaming plan.
