Edward Wayne Edwards confessed to murdering five people, including a teenage couple. Edwards' daughter, April Balascio, believes there are more victims.
One night in 1980, April Balascio’s father, Edward Wayne Edwards, woke up the household and told everyone to start packing. They were leaving their home in Watertown, Wisconsin, after living there for a year. It wasn’t new for Balascio, who was 11 years old. She was accustomed to moving every six months to a year without warning. It wouldn’t be until decades later when she discovered why. 'Each time we moved, it was hard,' Balascio told Fox News Digital.
But it was hard having to upend everything,' she shared. 'It was hard starting a new school every year or even sometimes twice a year. … He made us believe we were leaving because people were coming after us. So, there was also that fear that we were being hunted, that fear that we could be killed.' Balascio has written a new book, 'Raised by a Serial Killer: Discovering the Truth About My Father.
witnessed his violence, and it was a common occurrence, whether he took his anger out on me or he took it out on my mom,' Balascio added. 'Especially when I was younger, I witnessed more of him taking his anger out on my mom. 'I witnessed him hitting her, punching her in the face.' For years, Balascio wondered why, at times, the family had to suddenly leave in the middle of the night.
suspected my dad was doing some bad things, but I didn’t verbalize it to anyone,' said Balascio. 'There was no proof. … I can’t say I suspected that it was exactly murder, but I did believe he was harming people.' Balascio learned that investigators had reopened the case. She reached out to detectives, eager to share everything she remembered from her childhood.
