138. Smells Like Dirty Rotten Solvable - The Assassination Of Edward Berber


Listen Later

So hold on just a minute.  Let's get this straight:  Guy was murdered in his home.  All the doors were locked. No broken or open windows.  All the locks had been recently changed except the French doors in the bedroom.  The only person known to have a second key for those French doors is guy's soon-to-be ex-wife, whose new live-in boyfriend hates guy's guts and - in more than one written email and more than one recorded voice mail message - has threatened to kill him.  And 15 years later, there have been no arrests.  Waitwut?  So goes the story of Edward Berber, a solid working dude living in Hacienda Heights, an L.A. bedroom community, just trying to better his life, take care of his kids and maybe even get back together with his wife. - and whose 27 year-old life was cut short in a way that SEEMS pretty cut and dried.  But as we've learned, Tip-Sters, the fact is that sometimes "cut and dried" is more like "gnawed and moldy" when it comes to solving a murder.  And when the initial investigators drop the ball on a case like this, it can take years to correct the screw-up.  The good news is that the homicide detectives with the L.A. County Sheriff's Department now working Edward Berber's cold and disturbing assassination from 2005 are hot on the tail of closing this case - but they need your help.  Listen in as Melissa is joined on the phone by Detectives Rob Martindale, Bill Cotter and Gina Eguia, who go over the details, explain the problems with, and propose solutions to bringing the perpetrator of this awful crime to justice, whomever that may be.
