Silver City, New Mexico

In 2005, retired teacher and rancher Tim Edwards was found brutally murdered on a remote dirt road outside Silver City, New Mexico—his throat slashed, his body dragged into the desert brush. Nearly two decades later, no arrests have been made, and the case remains unsolved.

In this chilling and deeply personal episode of Death X Southwest, we dive into:

Who Tim Edwards was—and why everyone loved him
The night of his disappearance near Bear Mountain
Details of the gruesome crime scene
A shocking confession that quickly unraveled
Mysterious suspects, lost leads, and America’s Most Wanted
The quiet rage of his widow, Lynn Edwards, who has never stopped searching for answers
And the haunting silence that still lingers over the New Mexico high desert

🎧 Whether you're obsessed with unsolved murders, fascinated by cold cases, or just drawn to stories where justice still hangs in the balance—this one will stay with you.

From Tim's Obituary: "Tim Edwards legacy lives on. He is survived by his wife, Linda "Lynn" Edwards of Silver City; one son, John Todd Edwards and his wife Christie Ann of Las Cruces; one daughter, Stephanie Lynn Groseclose and her husband Brian of Tucson, AZ; three sisters, Elaine Easter of Chandler, OK, Ruth Schaumbacher and her husband Kurt of Philadelphia, PA and Della Fossum and her husband Jim of Austin, TX; and six grandchildren, Austin, Taylor, Logan, Camden, Caleb and Sawyer."
