Drifter pleads not guilty to killing Wis. couple
JEFFERSON (AP) — A former drifter has pleaded not guilty to killing two teenage sweethearts nearly 30 years ago.
Seventy-six-year-old Edward W. Edwards of Louisville, Ky., faces two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Kelly Drew and Tim Hack. The two 19-year-olds vanished from a rural Jefferson County wedding reception in August 1980. Their bodies turned up in the woods about two months later.
The case went unsolved. This past July, though, state analysts said they had matched Edwards’ DNA to samples taken from Drew’s body.
Edwards wrote an autobiography detailing how he traveled the country in the 1950s, stealing cars, running scams and seducing women. Investigators claim he told them a group of men stomped Drew and Hack to death.
