Gilgo Beach killer's confession

Asa Ellerup, Heuermann's former wife, stated that he calmly admitted to the killings, which took place just feet away from her kitchen while she was away.

Heuermann has recently pleaded guilty to seven murders, though investigators believe he may be linked to additional victims.

The confession has provided a chilling new perspective on the case, suggesting that the killer's home was a primary site for his depravity.

The revelation has sparked fresh trauma for the victims' families as they seek final answers in the decade-long mystery.
