''TULSA, Okla. — In the 1990s, Edgar Eddington raised and trained champion pit bulls for show competition.
''But one February night in 1997, someone brutally murdered him inside his home, leaving investigators to wonder if the motive was his prized dogs.''
"He sold dogs, trained dogs, all kinds of ribbons and trophies. And, you know, made different things on how to pull 'em," said Watkins.''
''The Tulsa County Sheriff's Cold Case Unit said the crime was brutal.
"He had been stabbed multiple times and beaten," said Rick Lawrence, a cold case investigator.
They said Eddington fought hard to getaway.
"Eddie appeared to have jumped out the window of the mobile home he was living in. But, somebody apparently caught him, drug him back in the house," said Lawrence.
Investigators believe at least two people were involved in Eddington's death.
"Because of the fact that there are several different shoe prints that was found outside the mobile home," said Lawrence.
And they have a possible motive.
"There's a possibility that there was one dog that was taken at the time, but we're not absolutely 100 percent sure at this time," said Tressi Mizell, Tulsa County cold case sergeant.''
''Anyone with information about the death of Edgar Eddington, contact the Tulsa County Cold Case Unit at 918-596-5612.''
