Edward Wise, 47, was found dead in his Orlando home on July 15, 1982, after a postman noticed uncollected mail and a foul odor. Investigators discovered Wise and his 44-year-old live-in partner John Stinson, both shot and stabbed. The medical examiner estimated their deaths occurred about a week to ten days before discovery.

Both men were known to be a same-sex couple; initial inquiries did not indicate risky behavior, but the brutality raised questions about motive. The double homicide was later linked to Donald William Dufour. Evidence connected Dufour to Wise and Stinson’s deaths; Dufour entered a no contest plea to the murder of Edward Wise and received life imprisonment for that crime.

Does anyone have information about Edward or John’s life in Orlando or memories from that neighborhood in 1982 that could shed light on what happened?
