40-Year-Old Murder Case Cracked Wide Open

06Oct08

Moorpark, CA - off the 23 Freeway

It’s 9am and I’m waiting for the news conference to start regarding a 40-year-old murder case that’s just recently been reopened.  We’re set up just off Highway 23 at Moorpark and the area’s been sectioned off so investigators can begin to dig where they believe the remains of a 16-year-old boy killed in 1968 are located.  As we wait, I’m proud I found a chair to sit in, that my laptop’s battery is fully charged and that we’re set up right in front with the best shot.

We got here at about 4am to begin our set up.  As is customary, we were the first media to arrive so we got the best spot.  By 5am everyone else was here.  But as I’ve mentioned before on this here blog, we tend to help each other out in the field and not act as though competition is everything.

There are now two groups of cops gathered, we’re not sure yet who will be speaking about this case.  It stems from Dec. 14, 1968 – Mack Ray Edwards admitted to killing Roger Madison.  It’s truly a sad story that today, hopefully, the family of Madison will finally have closure.
