Welcome to Crawl Space. I'm Tim here today with Lance. Lance, how are you today?

0:38.0

I'm doing fantastic today, Tim. This episode coming up is one of the more fascinating conversations that you and I have had kind of one-on-one about a topic that's super interesting to us because you get to look into the psychological spectrum that somebody like this could be on or was on at the time of his crimes.

0:57.0

But I'm on a spectrum of wondering how you're doing today, Tim. So before we get to this, where's your needle at?

1:03.0

Wow. Yeah, that was the reach.

1:07.0

It's bouncing in the red, Lance. I'm excited here today. Yeah, very excited to speak about this real sadistic son of a gun. His name is Edward Wayne Edwards.

1:18.0

He is a serial killer, was a serial killer. He was born in 1933. He's American, and we're going to go through his timeline and some of the murders that he confessed to.

1:31.0

Right, and not only the murders that he confessed to, but how he manipulated the media and the public and his own image. So really fascinating conversation here. Between two really fascinating guys.

2:28.0

The serial killer you never heard of, and that's written by John A Cameron. And he also kind of wrote an expanded version called It Was Always Me.

2:36.0

And then there was a docu series called It Was Him, the many murders of Ed Edwards. So this case, while not very popular, like not a real popular serial killer name, it's very interesting and has been covered a lot in the past few years.

And you mentioned the books, Tim, and the documentary. There's also the podcast called The Clearing, which approaches the story from April Bolassio's point of view.
