Girard Youth Charged With Blackmail Case
Erik John Henry Ken, 21, of Girard, was charged with blackmail after threatening school teacher Lowe A Edwards with death unless paid. The March 9 threat led to a late Thursday arrest by Constable J. O. Badders and a confession. Fiesler, tied to Sloan in the Biegert murders, aided investigation but federal involvement was not sought. The case traces back almost two years to a prior hunting-law violation by Peisler.
