Ed Edwards, died 2011, was a convicted murderer. Officially he was convicted of 5 murders: his adopted son, Billy Lavaco and Judy Straub and later Tim Hack and Kelly Drew. He had initially been a suspect for the murders of Hack and Drew, but was exonerated. He was later implicated in their murders through DNA evidence.

However, the story may not end there. Edwards' appearance in both Making a Murderer and Paradise Lost, two murder documentaries, led retired to Detective Cameron to investigate Edwards life. Based on his research, he believes Edwards to have been a prolific serial killer who's M.O. was framing other people for his crimes.

The timeline makes it possible for him to have committed the following additional murderers:


 * The West Memphis 3
 * Teresa Halbach, of Making a Murderer (Another person was convicted, but was almost certainly framed by the police)
 * The Zodiac murders
 * JonBenét Ramsey
 * Elizabeth Short (Better known as the Black Dahlia)
 * Lacey Peterson

It is unlikely that Edwards committed all of these murderers, but it is certainly possible he committed some of them.

Takeaway: Ed Edwards murdered everyone.

Split Brain Syndrome is the name given to a variety of effects that occur after the two hemispheres of the brain become disconnected, some times through accident sometimes through medical procedure.

Because the split prevents the two sides of the brain from communicating with each other, many of the symptoms are a direct result of this separation. Patients who are shown different objects in different eyes will not process that they are seeing too different things. Questions shown too both eyes may be answered differently by each hand.

A more extreme example is related to Strangelove Syndrome. A man with Split Brain Syndrome reported that one hand tried to hit his wife of its own accord and his other hand stopped him.

Takeaway: We know nothing about the brain.
