Rex Heuermann Part 3: THE FAMILY — LISK's Wife Says Hero, Daughter Says Gilgo Beach Killer

Part 3 of 5: The family fracture that defines the Long Island Serial Killer case.

Asa Ellerup was married to Rex Heuermann for nearly three decades. In the Peacock documentary, she called him her "hero" and said Suffolk County police have "the wrong man." Their daughter Victoria has reached the opposite conclusion—telling producers she believes her father is "most likely the Gilgo Beach serial killer."

Same house. Same twenty-seven years. Two completely different realities about LISK.

In this episode, we examine what the alleged Gilgo Beach Killer's family saw and missed, why mother and daughter diverged, and what prosecutors say may have connected them to the alleged crimes without their knowledge.

According to court documents, every murder Heuermann is charged with allegedly occurred when his family was out of town. Wife in Iceland, Maryland, New Jersey—each absence allegedly corresponded with a victim's disappearance along Ocean Parkway.

But the connection runs deeper. Female hairs found on multiple victims' remains were allegedly consistent with DNA from Asa and Victoria. Neither is accused of involvement. Prosecutors say the hair was transferred from Rex's clothing.

The women in the alleged Long Island Serial Killer's life were allegedly linked to murder victims without knowing.

Victoria spoke with Kerri Rawson, BTK's daughter, about what it means to have an alleged killer for a father. By the documentary's release, she'd reached her conclusion about the Gilgo Beach murders.

Asa still plans to attend every day of the LISK trial. Still calls Rex her husband.

The trial is September 2026. Both will be in that courtroom—one believing innocent, one believing guilty.
