Rex Heuermann's Daughter Believes Her Dad Is "Most Likely" the Gilgo Beach Serial Killer
Growing up, Victoria Heuermann admired her father. 'I was honestly really inspired by my dad,' she said on Peacock's The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets, now streaming. The two worked together at her father Rex Heuermann's New York City architecture firm right up until the day he was arrested and accused of being the elusive Gilgo Beach serial killer. Authorities believe that Heuermann killed seven women — possibly in the basement of his family's home in Massapequa Park on Long Island — by allegedly carefully coordinating the targeted attacks at times when his wife and children were out of town. The shocking allegations have left Heuermann's family reeling as they try to reconcile the disturbing accusations with the family man they knew and loved. Accused Gilgo Beach Serial Killer's Ex-Wife Says 'I Don't Believe My Husband Did This' The 'Gilgo Four" Victims All Had These "Chilling" Traits in Common When Does the Trial Begin for Accused Gilgo Beach Serial Killer Rex Heuermann? A week before The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets debuted on Peacock on June 10, 2025, Victoria "told the producers that based on publicly available facts that have been presented and explained to her, she now believes her father is most likely the Gilgo Beach killer," reads text flashed on the screen at the end of Episode 3. Prior to that, during filming, she seemed conflicted, as seen in the three-part documentary. 'Whether or not I believe my dad did it or not, I'm on the fence about that," Victoria said in documentary. "Part of me thinks he didn't do it, half of me believes he didn't do it, but at the same time, I don't know, he could have just totally had a double life." Victoria can still vividly recall the last normal day she spent with her dad on July 13, 2023. The two spent the day working in her dad's Manhattan office, just like they usually did. 'He was a very well-known architect in Manhattan," Victoria said in the documentary, which gives viewers unprecedented access to the family and the Heuermann home in Massapequa Park. "The last thing I said to my father before I left work was, 'I'll see you at home.'" But her dad would never return home. Instead, he was apprehended by officers outside, near their office, and arrested in connection with the slayings of three escorts whose remains were found in 2010 along a stretch of Gilgo Beach on Long Island. Her family got the shocking news later that night when FBI agents came 'banging' on their door. 'They said we have evidence your dad murdered all these women and your home is now a crime scene,' Victoria remembered. 'Never would have imagined I'd be hearing that in my life.' In the months that would follow, Heuermann was charged with four more murders and disturbing details about the allegations were released. Heuermann has pleaded not guilty to all charges. While Victoria's mom, Asa Ellerup, said in the documentary that her husband of nearly three decades 'didn't do this,' Victoria, even during filming, was more conflicted about the father she once believed was an 'open book.' According to the authorities, Rex allegedly killed his victims while his wife and kids — Victoria and her half-brother Christopher Sheridan — were away on vacation, using the time alone to troll for victims he met on sites that advertised their escort asked by a producer of The Gilgo Beach Killer whether she believed it could be a coincidence that the women disappeared at the same time that the family was on vacation, Victoria offered a noncommittal response at the time. 'I don't know whether it did or didn't happen,' she said. 'At the time, I was 13 years old.' Despite being conflicted at the time, Victoria went to court to support her father, saying that it made her feel a bit like she was doing 'the walk of shame.' 'When I was in the middle of the media frenzy, I'll admit I probably felt, like, humiliated,' she later told producers. 'I know I don't have anything to be shameful about but that's what it felt like, just the bombarding, people's disappointed faces. I didn't really feel like a person.' At the time the killings took place, Victoria was just an adolescent spending most of her time at school, at after-school activities, or on summer vacations. 'That's exactly how I wouldn't know anything,' she said, before adding, 'And now that I actually look back at my childhood, I do find it very hard to believe my dad actually did this.'Victoria continued to juggle mixed emotions throughout the three-part documentary, even during an eerie walk through her family home's basement, where investigators allege the killings may have taken place. Ellerup's attorney Robert Macedonio pointed out chilling details from the criminal affidavit to the family, including details of where victims could have been strung up from the ceiling. 'See, if they really did happen down here, he really must have been like Superman for us not to have noticed anything ever,' Victoria said, before later conceding it was 'not impossible.' Given her conflicted emotions, Victoria initially told producers she was 'not picking a side' until she saw the evidence in court. 'It keeps my head on straight with everything everybody is saying," she explained. "One person's saying this, one person's saying that, the prosecutor is saying this, but my memory says this. So yeah, the fact that... I'm standing my ground and I need to see the evidence is keeping my head on straight from all this." Victoria also admitted during filming to still feeling 'some loyalty' to her dad. RELATED: Gilgo Beach Murder Suspect Rex Heuermann's Estranged Wife Makes First Appearance in Court Since His Arrest Although she has years of happy memories with her father, she told producers if he is guilty, it will change their relationship. 'If he was guilty, it's gonna start to become a love/hate relationship,' Victoria said. 'This is my dad and I love him as my dad. The hate is this other side of him that came out, and going forward, I'm not going to interact with him the same way I would have if this never happened. Both the feelings, love and hate, can co-exist.'

Daughter of Gilgo Beach suspect accepts some of his alleged sex behavior, saying, ‘I'm not a kink shamer' — while revealing if she thinks he's serial killer
The daughter of accused Gilgo Beach murderer Rex Heuermann has dismissed at least some of the twisted sex claims against him, saying, 'I'm not a kink shamer' — while revealing if she thinks Dad is a serial killer. 'You know, everybody is into what they're into,' Victoria Heuermann, 28, told the new Peacock docu-series, 'The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets' — her first interview since her dad, a married father of two, was arrested nearly two years ago after allegedly sexually torturing sex workers and murdering seven of them on Long Island. 'At this point, like, after everything that has happened, I'm like, I'm not somebody to say, 'Hey, you shouldn't be into this,' or, 'You should,' ' Victoria told the show, which begins airing Tuesday. 7 Victoria Heuermann, 28, here with mother Asa Ellerup, says in a new docu-series she is 'on the fence' about whether her father Rex is the Gilgo Beach serial killer. Peacock 'I'm not a kink shamer,' she said. The accusations against her dad have included sexual attacks, and among the items reportedly found at the family's home after his arrest were a fair-haired, child-sized doll, an unnerving portrait of a blonde woman with blackened eyes and 'a lot of torture porn.' When asked if she thinks her 61-year-old architect dad is guilty of the murders, the daughter added, 'Whether or not I believe my dad did it or not, I'm on the fence about that. 'Half of me believes he didn't do it, but at the same time, he could have totally had a double life.' The self-proclaimed comic-book nut and gamer suggested she initially thought he might be guilty. 7 Ellerup and Victoria leave Suffolk County court after a hearing for Rex. Dennis A. Clark 'In the beginning, when this all first went down, I didn't know what to believe, whether he did it or not,' she said. 'But as the weeks progressed, a lot of it was coming back to me. 'I was in school, my dad came to every performance. I was in the school band. He came to every performance, every dance recital, and my mom picked him up every day from the train station. I would see him in the morning when he was going to work and I was going to school. 'And as I'm thinking about it, I'm like, I really don't know. 7 Rex Heuermann is accused sexually torturing women and killing seven sex workers. Rex Heuermann Consultants & Associates 'If he was guilty, it's gonna start to become like a love-hate relationship,' she said. 'This is my dad, and I love him as my dad. The hate is this other side of him that came out. … Both feelings, love and hate, can co-exist.' The show said that a week before the series was set to air, Victoria then amended her hedging on her father's potential guilt to say she now believes he is 'most likely' guilty. 7 Rex's alleged 'Gilgo Four' victims were (clockwise from top left): Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, Amber Lynn Costello and Megan Waterman. Suffolk County Police Department 7 Three more slain women — (from left) Sandra Costilla, Jessica Taylor and Valerie Mack — have been tied to Rex, too. Suffolk County Police Department The daughter, who was brought up in the family's Massapequa Park home, said the high-profile case has forced her to shy away from the public. 'I didn't start going out with my friends again until probably early September because we were at one point being followed around,' she said. 'Right now, I'm just safe here in this house. I kind of hide in my room a lot. … It's all open season on my family now.' Rex Heuermann was arrested July 13, 2023, outside his Midtown Manhattan office and charged with three cold-case murders of young sex workers — the first of what would be a tally of alleged victims that has since grown to seven. The suspect — whose daughter described him as a 'true-crime fan' — is now awaiting trial in the sensational case. 7 Ellerup and her son, Christopher, sit on their front porch after police raided their Massapequa Park home. Dennis A. Clark According to Rex's wife, Asa Ellerup, Victoria was conceived on the night she and her husband were married in Sweden in 1995 after a years-long friendship dating to their teen years. Their daughter, who has an older half-brother, Christopher, from Ellerup's first marriage, said she had a happy upbringing, which included trips to Disney World and Comic Con conventions in several states. 'I may have considered changing my name when this first all went down,' Victoria said. 'But as time passed and progressed and I've been coping with this,' she said she chose not to. 7 Ellerup wholeheartedly believes cops have the wrong guy, while their daughter isn't so sure. Peacock Her worst moments, she said, were when the FBI and local cops raided the family's home in 2023, just hours after Rex was taken into custody in Manhattan. The family was kicked out of its house for what would be the first of two extensive searches in a hunt for evidence to the grisly crimes. When the family returned, Victoria noted, her 'Magic the Gathering' cards and brand-new PlayStation 5 were gone and the house was so disheveled that it took time to find a place to sit down. 'I feel when I came home and seeing everything they took, I feel like as if they were trying to leave us for dead,' she said. 'It's almost as if they think that we're guilty of this as well.'

Police Identify ‘Peaches,' ‘Baby Doe' Victims Found Near Gilgo Beach Dumping Ground
Police have identified two of the Jane Doe victims found along Gilgo Beach, New York — near the dumping ground of the Long Island Serial Killer — nearly 30 years after they were murdered. At a press conference Tuesday, Nassau County police identified 'Jane Doe No. 3' — known as 'Peaches' because of a tattoo of that fruit on her torso — as Tanya Denise Jackson, who was 26 at the time of her death. Jackson's torso was first found inside a Rubbermaid container at Hempstead Lake State Park in June 1997; 14 years later, her severed arms, legs, and head were found near Jones Beach State Park in 2011 amid the discovery of the confirmed LISK victims. More from Rolling Stone 'Gone Girls': Three Things We Learned From Netflix's New Long Island Serial Killer Doc 'Gone Girls': See New Trailer for Netflix's Long Island Serial Killer Docuseries Suspected Long Island Serial Killer Charged With Seventh Murder When police uncovered the Gilgo Beach dumping ground in late 2010 and early 2011, among the other victims was the body of an unidentified toddler they dubbed 'Baby Doe,' who DNA evidence later determined was the daughter of 'Peaches.' On Tuesday, Nassau police identified the toddler as two-year-old Tatiana Marie Dykes, who was born in Texas in 1995. At the time of their deaths, Jackson and her daughter were living in Brooklyn. Jackson served in the U.S. military, and was 'estranged' from her family, which authorities reasoned was why she was not reported missing in the years that followed. Additionally, Nassau police said they had identified Dykes' father, who 'has been cooperative' in the investigation. Nassau police cautioned that although Jackson and Dykes' bodies were found in proximity to the LISK victims, it's likely the cases are 'unrelated,' though the investigation remains active. Rex Heuermann, the man arrested in connection to the Long Island Serial Killer murders, is currently facing seven murder charges. He was originally arrested in July 2023 and charged with murdering three of the so-called 'Gilgo Four' victims, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Costello. Charges pertaining to the fourth victim, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, were brought in January of this year. In June 2024, authorities charged Heuermann with the murders of two additional victims, Jessica Taylor and Sandra Costilla. Taylor had been missing since 2003, and her partial remains were discovered near Gilgo Beach. But Costilla's partial remains were found in 1993 in the Hamptons, and her unsolved murder had not been previously associated with the Long Island Serial Killer investigation. In December, Heuermann was charged with the 2000 killing of Valerie Mack. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
