The Long Island Serial Killer's family is split. The trial is coming. And both women may be victims of the same alleged lie.

In today's episode, we examine the Gilgo Beach Killer family fracture—why his ex-wife Asa Ellerup still calls Rex her "hero" while daughter Victoria has publicly stated she believes he's "most likely" guilty of the Long Island murders.

According to the Peacock documentary, Asa described Rex as her "savior" from a difficult first marriage. She said visiting him in jail felt like "a first date." Their divorce was finalized in March 2025—but she still refers to him as "my husband."

Victoria's evolution was different. She acknowledged there were places in the Massapequa Park house she wasn't allowed as a child. She spoke with BTK's daughter about living in the aftermath. By the documentary's release, she'd reached her conclusion about LISK.

But here's what makes the Gilgo Beach case even more disturbing. According to court documents, female hairs found on multiple victims' remains along Ocean Parkway were allegedly consistent with DNA from Asa and Victoria. Neither woman is accused of involvement. Suffolk County prosecutors say the hair was transferred from Rex's clothing.

The women in the alleged Long Island Serial Killer's life were allegedly connected to murder victims they never knew existed. Their hair allegedly helped build the prosecution's case.

The family unknowingly provided the evidence.

They'll all be in the same courtroom in September 2026—one believing innocent, one believing guilty.

Both are collateral damage in the Gilgo Beach case.
