The remains of Edward Lelburian Jackson were first discovered in 2022, and an initial autopsy revealed he was killed decades ago
After four years, a piece of the haunting mystery uncovered in the waning waters of drought-stricken Lake Mead has been solved.

At a press conference on Thursday, Clark county coroner Melanie Rouse shared his name publicly for the first time: Edward Lelburian Jackson.
