The episode was shown yesterday, where Ása reports that she still lives in the house where she lived with Heuermann and their two children. Then she says she went through the basement of the house and sleeps there.
Heuermann, who has confessed to having killed eight women, murdered seven of them and dismembered them in said basement.
Ása is asked in the episode how she explains her decision to move to the basement, where her husband’s victims met their end.
“The brutal truth is that Rex Heuermann claims to have dismembered the bodies in this room. That’s the brutal truth, okay?” answers Ása.
“Now it’s me. I’m in this room, and I’m here because I’m spiritual. I’m trying to say, in my own way, that I deeply regret what the victims went through.”
It is stated in the episode that Heuermann made it a condition for his confession that he first be allowed to have a meeting with his wife and daughter, Victoria, to confess to them.
The mothers tried to get Heuermann to answer why he had killed the women, but he only said that “his years had caught up with him”.
According to Victoria, she asked him if he hadn’t realized that the women had been loved by people who missed them. “He replied that he hadn’t even experienced them as human beings,” says Victoria.
Heuermann will be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on June 17.
