rails of the train he was riding on and hopping onto another one, bound for Chico. On January 26, while seeking medical treatment for his injured hand in Oroville, Edwards was picked up by a deputy while wandering through a residential area. He admitted to the deputy that he had killed five men, unaware that, although he had lost an ear, Delong had survived their encounter. Edwards later claimed to have regretted this decision, as he claimed that his parents would be embarrassed by him. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murders of Schiermeister and Thurman in Oregon, and was sent to the Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution, where he still resided as of 2020. He has accounts on several websites dedicated to finding pen pals for prisoners. His earliest release date is February 14, 2052, when he is 93 years old.
