Edwin “Eddie” Heath Sr. (King of Hearts, Delaware)
5/27/202625 min
Our card this week is Edwin “Eddie” Heath Sr., the King of Hearts from Delaware.
For the last eleven years, the mystery of who murdered 33-year-old Eddie has haunted the New Castle County Police. It looked to them like Eddie had been targeted – shot just steps from where he lived and in front of his children. But a few BIG questions remain: Who was the man, possibly in disguise, that shot Eddie that day? And was this the same man caught on a surveillance camera near the scene? And WHY would anyone want this otherwise normal-seeming dad dead?

Just after opening on a cold Saturday in February, someone entered the Lane Bryant store in Tinley Park, Illinois, and over the course of just about 40 minutes enacted a brutal crime, killing five of the six women inside. Despite a detailed suspect sketch from the survivor, despite the fact that 911 was called while he was still in the store, and despite the fact that police were on the scene within minutes, the killer got away. But when I got into this story, it got so much bigger than I ever thought it could have. The case got so big that I needed help, so I brought in the best investigative journalist I know, Delia D'Ambra. And on her newest season of Counter Clock, she is ready to fill you in on her years-long investigation into the Lane Bryant murders and the suspect that it led her to. Listen to season eight of Counter Clock wherever you get your podcasts. Our card this week is Edwin "Eddie" Heath Sr., the king of hearts from Delaware.
