NEW YORK (AP) 鈥� The daughter of accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann believes he 鈥渕ost likely鈥� committed the infamous killings in New York even as her mother steadfastly defends her ex-husband鈥檚 innocence in a new documentary released Tuesday.

The admission from Victoria Heuermann isn鈥檛 made on camera but through a statement from producers near the end of 鈥淭he Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets,鈥� a three-part documentary on NBC鈥檚 streaming service Peacock.

鈥淎 week before the series release, Victoria Heuermann 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,鈥� reads a statement at the close of the final episode of the documentary, which was produced by musician 50 Cent鈥檚 production company, G-Unit Film and Television.

Bob Macedonio, an attorney for Heuermann鈥檚 now ex-wife, Asa Ellerup, said in a statement after the documentary鈥檚 release that 鈥渢ime will only tell鈥� whether his client will ever accept that her husband may have been a serial killer.

Heuermann鈥檚 lawyer didn鈥檛 immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

The Manhattan architect has been charged with killing seven women, most of them sex workers, and dumping their bodies on a desolate parkway not far from Gilgo Beach on Long Island, some 50 miles (80 kilometers) from Manhattan.

He has pleaded not guilty and is due back in Riverhead court June 17 as a judge continues to weigh whether to allow key DNA evidence into the trial.

In the documentary, Victoria Heuermann struggles to reconcile her childhood memories with the portrait of the killer described by authorities.

She says her father was around the family 鈥�90% of the time鈥� and was never violent toward any of them.

At the same time, Victoria Heuermann acknowledged there were times when he stayed home while the family went on vacation and that she was around 10 to 13 years old when the killings happened. Prosecutors say Heuerman committed some of the killings in the basement while his family was out of town.

鈥淲hether or not I believe my dad did it or not, I鈥檓 on the fence about that,鈥� said the now 28-year-old. 鈥淧art of me thinks he didn鈥檛 do it, but at the same time, I don鈥檛 know, he could have just totally had a double life.鈥�

Ellerup, for her part, maintained she saw no 鈥渁bnormal behavior鈥� in their nearly three decades of marriage.

She dismissed a computer file prosecutors claim is a 鈥渂lueprint鈥� of his crimes as 鈥渁bsurd.鈥�

The document features a series of checklists for before, during and after a killing, such as a 鈥渂ody prep鈥� checklist that includes among other items a note to 鈥渞emove head and hands.鈥�

Ellerup also shrugged off other evidence prosecutors have enumerated in court documents, including a vast collection of bondage and torture pornography found on electronic devices seized from their home, and hairs linked to Heuermann that were recovered on most of the victims鈥� bodies.

At the same time, she revealed that in July 2009, around the time one of his alleged victims went missing, Heuermann suddenly renovated a bathroom while she and their two children were on vacation for weeks to visit her family in Iceland. But she noted her former husband eventually joined the family for their final week of their trip.

鈥淢y husband, he鈥檚 a family man. He鈥檚 my hero,鈥� Ellerup said. 鈥淲hat I want to say to him is, 鈥業 love you, no matter what.鈥欌��

Ellerup divorced Heuermann after his arrest in 2023. But in the documentary, Victoria Heuermann says the separation was for financial reasons to protect the family鈥檚 assets.

Indeed, the mother and daughter have been regularly attending court hearings with their attorney. The filmmakers even captured them speaking to Heuermann by phone from jail.

A Peacock spokesperson said Ellerup was paid a location fee and a licensing fee for use of family archive materials, although the payments cannot go toward the defendant or his defense funds.

The family, which also includes Ellerup鈥檚 adult son from a prior marriage, is planning to put up its notoriously ramshackle house in well-to-do Massapequa Park as they look to move to a property they own in South Carolina.
