Family and Friends are devastated and we just want the people who did this to pay for it. They need to be put in jail as soon as possible, those people who took him from his house May 9 2008 need to be put in jail until they confess who did it. They had no right to take somebody's life like that Edgar was a GREAT a PERSON and all this was nothing but a SET-UP and the people involve need to pay for it. We want JUSTICE!!! This cannot remain like this. Who are they to decide when tot ake somebody's life away?

WELL I KNEW EDGAR SO MUCH.HE WAS A HARD WORKING GUY. HE WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR ME N ME FOR HIM WE WERE REALLY GOOD FRIENDS.I JUST READ SOMTHING THAT DIDNT MAKE NOTHING OF SENSE THE GIRL NAME LIDIA SHOULD STOP WRITING THINGS ABOUT BIANCA.

AS WELL I KNOW EDGAR TOLD BIANCA ALOT OF NICE THINGS TOO BUT PLZ LET HIM REST IN PEACE. EDGAR WOULD APPRECIATE HER NOT WRITING ABOUT BIANCA BECAUSE AS I IKNOW SHE IS A KIND SWEET GIRL I DONT KNOW HER PERSONALLY BUT I GOT A CHANCE TO TALK TO HER BY THE PHONE WHEN EDGAR WAS WITH HER .
