A new documentary series from hip-hop legend and entertainment mogul 50 Cent has finally cracked open one of New York City's most spine-tingling murder mysteries. It wraps up with a confession that will leave you speechless.
Enter The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets, a haunting new three-part special airing Tuesday, June 10. It brings you to the heart of the tragic fallout from a decade-long ordeal. It's not simply a series about the crimes but also looks inward, delving into the broken family around the man at the center of it all: Rex Heuermann.
The real shocker? His daughter, Victoria Heuermann, steps up in a heartbreaking confrontation. Here, for the first time, Victoria admits in public that she now thinks her father "most likely" killed the women of Gilgo Beach.

Now, imagine the courage it requires to confront the accumulating evidence, the lurid details, and the father he once loved and then say those words out loud. That is the finality caught, cold and grim, in 50 Cent's documentary.
The Gilgo Beach case had cast a dark, haunting shadow over Long Island for years. The discovery of the bodies of numerous women along Ocean Parkway and in the dunes of surrounding beaches from 1996 to 2011 set off one of the New York area's most murder investigations. For more than a decade, those answers felt tantalizingly out of reach until July 2023, when Rex Heuermann was arrested on charges of murder in connection with the killings.
The soft-spoken Heuermann, a 41-year-old architect from Massapequa Park, pleaded not guilty. But the case history presented inside the documentary digital files, DNA matches, and chillingly specific search checklists tells a much darker tale.
Victoria's revelation shared only a week before the series landed, brings a rich personal dimension to the horror. "Based on the facts available to the public that have been presented to and discussed with her, she now believes for a variety of reasons that her father is most probably the Gilgo Beach Killer," a statement at the end of the series reads.
The interviews with Rex's ex-wife, Asa Ellerup, provide even more emotional depth. She, too, expresses her disbelief and devastation, proof that when a monster lives among us, the ripple effect is felt by all.
'House of Secrets' is more than a true crime documentary; it is a psychological excavation. It minces no words, and thanks to 50 Cent's rising profile as a teller of tales, it strikes as well emotionally as it does factually. And with Rex Heuermann's next court appearance set for June 17, the story is far from done. The truth no longer hides in the shadows.
