EDWARD DENNARD
79-year old Edward Dennard usually sold candy from a stand in his front yard. So when Dennard wasn't outside on May 19, 1998, his neighbors became concerned.
They called one of Dennard's relatives, who went to his Read Avenue apartment and found the elderly man dead in his bedroom. He'd been strangled with a tie and a robe belt.
Robbery was the likely motive for Dennard's murder. His television set was taken from the apartment, along with some cash.
Investigators believe Dennard's killer was someone the elderly man knew.
