单集简介 ...

When April Balascio was 40 years old, something she’d feared for decades was finally proven true. Her father, Edward Wayne Edwards, really was a murderer. The Clearing is about what came after April called a detective in 2009 to tell him about her suspicions — a call that led to her father’s arrest and eventual conviction on multiple murders — and tracks the emotional journey as she and host Josh Dean dig back into her childhood, unravel the truth of her father’s life, and overturn a viral online narrative that had turned Edward Wayne Edwards into a kind of serial killer caricature.  Produced by Pineapple Street Media in association with Gimlet.  Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Hello, listeners.

  • It is with pleasure that I come into your home today, for I know those listening to me now are interested in helping people.

  • April Bellaccio was three years old when her father, Edward Wayne Edwards, recorded this motivational record, selling himself to the world as a reformed criminal.

  • Exciting, yes.

  • Dangerous?

  • Yes.

  • Honest, no.

  • She was twelve when he came home late one night.

  • He was muddy and he had a bloody nose, a cut on his nose.

  • I decided that I would put every effort into my rehabilitation program that I had put previously into my career of crime.

  • As she got older, April began to wonder, why would her father disappear for days at a time?

  • Why were they always packing up and moving in the middle of the night?

  • Everywhere I went, there was people that we knew were associated with ever being murdered.

  • The double homicide in one rural community has puzzled investigators for nearly 30 years.

  • And as I was reading the case, it all rang true.

  • I mean, I remembered everything.

  • April was 40 when she called the police and turned her dad in.

  • I love my children very much.

  • Things in our home are never taken for granted.
