Edmund Lopes was as charming as they come. He could befriend any man or woman on the street with his "golden tongue". Known to tell a tall tale or two, he led a normal life until he abandoned his first wife and his children. From there, he would remarry, kill his second wife, try to kill his girlfriend and murder another woman. Eventually tried and convicted, he would be released on parole after only twelve years. Ordered not to leave the state, Lopes defied the authorities and fled to Nebraska to marry his "pen pal" that had been writing him in prison. The two then moved to rural Washington where Lopes reinvented himself as "Pastor Ed". He regaled his parishioners with his own personal story of being the Prodigal Son, the bad man gone astray who came back into the fold of the Lord. Problem was, none of his stories were true.
