Plot Synopsis

In this one-hour docuseries, Wayne Wolfe -- the estranged grandson of infamous serial killer Ed Edwards -- joins former Sergeant Detective and FBI Cold Case Task Force Officer John Cameron on his quest to prove that his grandfather, Ed Edwards, is the man responsible for some of most astonishingly high-profile murders of the 20th century. A calculated and convicted killer, Edwards was arrested in 2009 and found guilty of five grisly murders over 20 years. He died of natural causes in prison in 2011, four months before his scheduled execution. Shortly after Edwards' death, Wolfe learned of his grandfather's identity and his potentially gruesome lifestyle. In an attempt to shed light on his grandfather's dark past and find closure for his father, Wolfe joined forces with Cameron, who has dedicated his life -- and sacrificed his career -- for his work to uncover the potential true scope of Ed Edwards' murderous life. He has spent years traveling the country speaking with experts, witnesses, family members and friends, all to piece together a colossal amount of evidence that could tie Edwards to some of the most publicized and violent murders of the last century. IT WAS HIM: THE MANY MURDERS OF ED EDWARDS chronicles the duo's partnership and crime investigation.
