Megyn Kelly TODAY welcomes Wayne Wolfe, who had no idea until recently that his grandfather, Ed Edwards, may have been one of the most prolific serial killers of our time, along with veteran detective John Cameron, who believes Edwards may have been the notorious Zodiac Killer.

Possibly. He was a murderer so who knows how many he killed.

The show reminded me of the one about H H Holmes.

[cherry]

you mean they didn’t name their sons after Wayne Newton?

Was he the world’s fair killer? (had a ‘hotel of horrors’ where people literally checked in but never checked out)

Former Louisianan governor Eddie Edwards was a prolific serial killer? Well THAT surprises NO-ONE.

(J/K. Not THAT Eddie Edwards. Another ruthless criminal named Eddie Edwards.)

[dangus]

Wait... Ed Edwards’ middle name is “Wayne???” WTH is it with Waynes?

[dangus]

Since he was born in 1933, I doubt it. Wayne’s acting career had started by then, but he wasn’t the sort of household name you name your kids after. Even by John Wayne Gacy’s birth (1942), I still doubt anyone would immediately identify “John Wayne” with masculinity. (”Stagecoach” was Wayne’s main starring role in a hit movie at the time.)

“It’s chilling to think there could be Zodiac killers and Ted Bundy types walking among us.”..........

Rest assured, indeed they are out there but in small numbers, thank the Lord.

OMG! What a clown outfit she's wearing. If people look at me because I'm the grandson of a serial killer.

Well, bozo, if you hadn't gone on tv and advertised it, no one would have to know. Guess there's a book in the near future.

Environment has nothing to do with it. Ed Edwards made the choice to be a total screw up and chose to be a killer. Other people, who have had bad childhoods, have made the choice to live good lives.

He killed Lacey Peterson?!? No way. Jimmy Hoffa? No way. The Black Dalia when he was 13 and in another state? No way. Total bunk.

[wideminded]

Very interesting. Although I never followed the career of John Wayne much, it sounds like you are probably right. And what's more, I looked up John Wayne Gacy to see if there was a clue where his middle name came from and it turns out his full name was John Wayne Gacy, Jr.

So much for that theory.
