I mean did y’all want them to lie about who she was ? She met men at bars , had 3 different sperm samples inside of her, disappeared for months and left her child with a child molester and all of this could’ve played a part in her death ! I don’t really see how it could’ve been left out.

I'm not one to generally comment on videos but gosh I feel so sorry for Edna. No one had not one nice thing to say about her and words they used to describe her were just horrible. She was a victim. She didn't deserve to be murdered just because she lived an unstable lifestyle. You never know what someone has been though/what mental illnesses they're battling. I hope she is at peace and that one day her murder gets solved one day.

This is a perfect example of double standards. If a man was moving from one relationship to another, living with MULTIPLE women, having sex with MULTIPLE women at the same time and leaving his child with total strangers, disappearing for MONTHS without telling anyone where he was, drinking heavily and hanging out at bars all time of the day and night, I guarantee you, you wouldn't be so sympathetic, you would be calling him every name in the book.

Odd he was never charged with being a pedo and they never said where the allegations came from.

[@evosthunder]

Always bothered me how they just gave up after Ruby got acquitted.

[@Klabarge92]

They probably think Ruby did it, and he got wrongfully acquitted. It could have been the case?

[@ML-xh6rd]

I bet if they used genetic genealogy on the three semen samples today they could figure out the men she was with and likely with other investigation determine who killed her. But they don't want to do that because of how she lived. They wanted to railroad a man with a parenting style they didn't agree with and after he fought his way to a new trial and was exonerated, they had no interest in actually finding her killer. Ruby made them look bad and they can't handle it. To find the real killer would mean they were wrong all along.

[@Ze_Moose]

Not victim shaming but did I hear she had sperm from 3 different men?! 😮 The possibilities are endless!

​@@ML-xh6rdhe wasn't exonerated. He was found not guilty. Big difference.

[@clumsytriangle2436]

They should do a DNA test again now to find out the truth

[@janicep1508]

This was a very poor investigation compared to many others on the show. Why didn't anyone investigate people who may have seen Edna on Saturday. No luminal test in Rudy's house, garage or car? Tire tracks or footprints at the corpse scene? I've seen some LEOs go to extraordinary means, tracing all kinds of minuscule fibers, tracing items (the box) to a store or factory, canvassing towns to find witnesses of a possible passing car, any and all evidence to find a killer. The big evidence here was a cardboard box with a hole in it that could have come from millions of cars, a bug expert that was way off on the time and an autopsy that was off on the living sperm timeframes. Everything else was very circumstantial. A thump in the night? I certainly couldn't convict on that. And was the boy evaluated to see if he was being abused and wanted to be homed with another family.

[@danp1471]

For real. That was some extremely sloppy work when it came to this case. I'm surprised they even picked this one to highlight although it's certainly important to learn from people's mistakes. And because of the sloppy work they apparently had to close the case despite not knowing who was responsible. It certainly makes you appreciate the detectives that do go the extra mile that much more.

[@jessiedoggie1]

Great comment.

[@Hamad-Almass]

Totally agree with you

[@muffs55mercury61]

I agree 100% but remember this was in 1984 and the original investigators likely botched it. DNA was in it's infancy and only a few had access to it. As time went on this should have been turned over to a cold case unit which by then was in the time of advanced DNA.

@Alexandra Nakelski men aren’t called tramps bc of biology. Men are wired to spread their seed and women are wired for monogamy. It takes 9 months to carry a baby but a man can get multiple women pregnant within 9 months. That’s just nature. If a woman has multiple partners it doesn’t line up with nature since only one of them can get her pregnant. If she’s doing it for pleasure then yes it’s “questionable” in her character. Men and women ARE different whether you want to accept it or not. It’s nature’s design not a double standard

If this had been a 75 year old who said that I could understand that 8 years later his memory might be lousy, but not a 13 year old, especially when your testimony was crucial to convicting the person who was charged with murdering your mother.

Or a gang rape. Which would give a motive to kill her.

[@Y-xz6kh]

It could also be that Edna was gang raped by these 3 men. She was at the bar and drinking was involved. Alcohol makes it harder for a victim to fight back and if enough alcohol is within the body to have a person be drunk or completely drunk is not able to do much damage to fight back compared to when a person is sober. Which is why any man or any woman who goes after a drunk person to have sex with the person is taking advantage of the person. The reason being a drunk person is not able to properly give consent to sex compared to if the individual is sober and giving consent to sex.

Edna Posey lived a reckless life going to bars, drinking alcohol and picking up loser men. Who this woman thought she was going to find in bars? Huh? Drunks? Losers, killers??? Edna was in my opinion, a very irresponsible woman and mother who rather than going to bars and meeting men, should have concentrated on raising her son who didn’t ask to be born! Her son should have been her sole responsibility and priority but she failed to do so. She created all her problems and never did anything to correct her behavior and lived “la vida loca” which costed her life. My heart goes out to her poor son who was the real victim in this case. I hope he grew up to be a well-adjusted young man and a law abiding citizen. Always the children pay a heavy price for the sins of the parents. Very sad.

In 2022, Ruby would have advocates normalizing his behavior with young boys. Sick times. Hopefully, a cold case unit could solve this case, as it's possible to get the dna match to those three men's sample.

[@craigime]

they would need to find the men first- which is a feat by itself

[@danlhendl]

Just look for someone missing a torso

[@drewizkoollikeicecre]

Who knows if he’s guilty, but when you’re talking about jury trials you have to remember, you can one with PhD’s and one with people that barely made it through middle school. Jury trials are just a crapshoot for that very reason.

[@babagandu]

Exactly, even judges make wrong judgments. Just like freedom and forcing masks on people ...

The car of the Entomologist says MAGGOT!

[@mikeypiros6647]

Morals of the story have good lawyers,and don't talk to anyone , maintain your innocents and don't cop a plea !

[@lulub1415]

The entomologist’s plate said MAGGOT 🤣☠️🤓

[@ahmedrefaat1086]

So since this case is closed it's now being unsolved !! In so doing Is this now the perfect murder ??

[@clc7763]

I feel so more sorry for the little boy.Then the mother, she put him in that predicament

[@PAPERCHASERS309]

First ever unsolved episode I’ve seen on FF’s. First time for everything I guess.

[@tedhuntington7692]

the case needs to be re-opened and genie the deenie (do geneological trace on the dna)

[@charminglliang839]

I hope one day someone from somewhere there come out and will tell when the time they last saw Edna and who's with her that Saturday night or Sunday morning 😢 I feel sorry for the son too 😢

[@marshalldukes8]

Such an unsatisfying episode. I know they have a time frame, but this one needed an exception. Needed more details on Ruby's alabi and the victim's activities/whereabouts after being "dropped off".

[@aerys9644]

13:34 MAGGOT thats an amazing license plate for someone who studies flies!

[@taydestiny38]

I remember seeing this case on HBO’s Autopsy. I love forensics files because of it’s raw footage of crime scenes, but it doesn’t come close to Autopsy.

[@rubywarner34]

I remember watching Autopsy when I was a kid. I couldn't sleep for days.

[@kristinebailey6554]

Here's the problem with calling her a common tramp, girls/women, confuse sex with love, their minds don't work the same way male's minds work. She wanted to be loved and what she got was screwed and, in this case, literally. All while guys are never called tramps for the exact same behavior. RIP Edna, for wanting love you got murdered.

[@AS-qg1xu]

She could have/ should have focused on a loving relationship with her son.

[@HorrorMetalMaestroRedrusty66]

I would have found him not guilty too. 3 samples from 3 different men? Still active? Come on, as for him personally, people and their dirty minds was all the real testimony that first jury listened to.

[@alluceoave]

First of all I think it’s disrespectful and insane to call that man a pedo. Though I think it unusual, its not unusual for a father to kiss his son on the lips. Its a sign of affection and obviously he really loved kids. Now, I do believe boundaries should be made, but I also believe he was extremely excited to have a son. I hate how we don’t get a perspective from his wife, or his close friends. I don’t believe he molested anyone and I don’t believe he killed edna. Checking for fleas is a completely valid excuse to be checking a little one if they’re often camping. If the boy says he was molested now that he’s 21, then Ill believe it. If not, people are sick to paint that picture of him just because they thought he was unusual.

[@TNT-km2eg]

Kissing a child on the lips ?! Not only unusual , but perverse in the first place . Every normal person knows that kissing on the lips has strong and unmistakable sexual connotation . But then , dogs eat no dog , do they ?

[@sherberts]

@@TNT-km2egdavid beckham kisses his kids on the lips

[@AS-qg1xu]

My aunt used to kiss her kids goodnight on the lips every night. And she was a great mom!

[@Sigma2HisAlpha]

This is so sad and tragic. In the sense that, the way you live can truly determine your path to life or death. When they surmised that there was semen from 3 different individuals within the 24 hours that she died…. Whew …. She left and went away to get her life on track but came back and still behaved in a way that was harmful to both herself and her son. Smh. Poor Randy man. Living with a man suspected of pedophilia and his mom with the way she was. Lord have mercy.

[@craigime]

yeah. it's always the kids who suffer when adults act ridiculous

[@Sigma2HisAlpha]

@@craigime it absolutely is. So sad man

[@Ledognatripus]

Maybe she was raped by 3 men when she was murdered… don’t be so quick to assume or judge , just because someone might be struggling in life does not mean they deserve to be killed or held in any less regard than any other person … she was a human being, a daughter, a mother and she was trying to turn things around … you have no idea how easily your life can go off the rails and if it never happens to you then be grateful for your good fortune in life … but don’t look down on others ,that certainly doesn’t put you in any better position no matter where you are in life

[@8luvbug]

I like how you automatically assume that she only had 3 different sperm in her because she was being promiscuous, but don't consider that she could've been raped

[@shortandcut]

This guy moveout of town to live a new life, not because he is guilty.

[@TNT-km2eg]

Kissin children on mouth ?

[@SukumarDevaguptapuLife-Smiles]

They sure would have checked the 3 DNA profiles did not meet any criminal/murderer -- so the people Edna socialized..even before, in all the years, were not murders (or bad persons) either. The "thump" sound of a body falling, is the result of a fatal blow to the head..but the head could not be recovered..! Something happened that night in the house, which made Edna disappear..!

[@AS-qg1xu]

Or she dropped something, or tripped on something on the way back from the bathroom, or fell out of bed.

[@monalisasssmile]

yo what’s with pennsylvania and dead people in boxes. as a pennsylvanian, something’s sus

[@AS-qg1xu]

Interesting!

[@2k_]

they should check whose dna's were and they might find at least one!
