“We have never heard the whole truth [about the killings] and we never will hear the whole truth,” Attorney Earl Hanson told The Times a month after Holmes died of AIDS in 1988. Later that year, two other men were charged with the murders.
So far, Earl has been correct. But, we’ve found out a lot more since then.
Earl died in April of 2000. RIP to ALL this day.

That’s another tragedy in and of itself.

Ed loved Holmes “like a brother”. Like Cain and Abel, he was betrayed by him. Eddie loved John so much, that he didn’t even have him killed, and he could have very easily. I honestly think that Ed’s only murders, allegedly, were the Wonderland gang. I don’t think he had ever killed, or conspired to kill… before, or since.
At the present, I’m a bit surprised that the only people still walking around are Ed and Susan.

John would have been the one to kill because he was very likely to flip. His character was weak, everyone knew that. I guess he really loved John because he would be the guy to clip. I mean to say he either loved him or he was confident that he could control him. The sense of “Honor” in his Palestinian roots was seemingly a very strong one because he attacked the house with their friend to add meaning to the act. It was curious that Nash ordered the killing of everyone in the house. It seems that he felt that anyone in the house was fair game. The house is a representation of a family in Nash’s culture. So, he attacked the home. Another thought… He may not have taken John out because he was in Nash’s house all the time. He probably felt that it was something the cops would put together too easily. Many people knew that John was a friend of his. He didn’t plan on David Lind making it out of there. Let’s not forget, if David Lind doesn’t make it out alive, it would have been a pretty dead end for the investigators. They wouldn’t have ever connected Ed Nash to these murders at all, if David Lind had died that night.

Eddie was quoted as saying “John Holmes was nothing but a liar and a thief” that was some years after the slayings.

Coming from an honor-culture, the proud Palestinian once boasted to a writer (and I paraphrase): “Thorson was good to have around the house, cleaning things, doing errands, because he was gay. I often had many college girls at the house, so I had a gay chef too” (meaning, that they wouldn’t mess with the girls… he needed that reassurance because he was a very jealous man and you don’t fuck with the Nash!!!!) LOL

Eddie was obviously a smart guy but his downfall was his relationship with Holmes.

And his relationship with coke. Drug dealers tend to get a Caesar complex – mix that with coke fuelled paranoia/rage and it’s a recipe for disaster.
