A young woman feels lucky to have a second chance: After a failed marriage, she was back together with the man she'd loved since high school. That is, until one morning, when a single shot rang out in a parking garage. What happened to Ed Schiller?

I live the same love story gone wrong, same time lines, is weird how similar everything is. However I am still married and I am afraid to change that because of the consequences, including spoiling what that love means to me, wouldnt want to stain it for anything. Prefer to leave it intact and just go on thinking about the what ifs, what ever it takes to protect it. I'll love you forever, E.

My story is very similar to Stacey's, it is weird how close it gets when it comes to timelines. I also have that one person that I have loved most of my life. Somehow, it just never became a reality, and I just found him. What is different with me is that I am scare of being wrong and because of that I want to protect that love and leave it as it is--the most pure and innocent love that I wll always cherish in my heart. Yes, that would mean forever living with the what ifs. But if thats what it takes, Ill suffer through. I am married, and I know in my heart I am not fully happy with it. I always wished that he would be the one, but only God knows why it never came true, I'll always be waiting for this love . In the meantime, I know that he is there and like me, he also wishes we could be. I'll love you forever, E..
Forget him.....it will lead to trouble!
Exactly. If it's meant to be it will come about naturally.
I feel stupid asking this but does anyone know who and what song that was that played at the very end of this story (the friday the 13th mystery)?
I think it was "White Flag" by Dido.
Does someone happen to know the song that played at the very last of this story I have looking for it for a couple years now. Thank you
I have watched this and another program tell this story of "Love Gone Wrong" and am disapointed again in this retelling. While I understand the "love story" aspect makes for great viewing, the bottom line isn't Stacey, or the two dirt bags that killed Ed. The bottom line is Edward Schiller. Who knows what HE felt about this, what did he see in the future, this is HIS story and his family's story of a loss so profound that it must be so frustrating that Ed gets lost in the "love gone wrong" angle. Ed was the only innocent one here, and losing him has a ripple effect greater as time goes by. I do hope Stacey is "living for Ed". She needs to counsel women in bad marriages not to bring others into their mess before cleaning it up. I see that Ed's brother and family have started a scholarship and keep Ed's memory alive. I am looking for what Stacey is doing, and have not seen anything yet. Perhaps I am being unfair. But what this story has shown is that life is not fair, and this story is everyone except his brother speaking about Ed and themselves, while is brother is speaking FOR Ed. Would like to see more about Ed's life before this, and not just the months before he was killed. Thanks to anyone who read this very long note.
Great to see that someone out there gets it. Thanks Southern Cross, whoever you are. The love story angle is the most sensational which is why the networks ran with it. Peace.
Actually I'm not very impressed with Stacey. There is much she could have done to prevent what happened if what she says is true. She could have warned Ed about what Jim said about their being together not being good for his health. She could have reported that conversation to the police. She could have not slept with Jim at Christmas. Hey, if you get right down to it, if she loved Ed so much she could have not married Jim in the first place.
I have watched this story on another channel a bit ago, and again I am disappointed. To cut to the chase, this has become the "love gone wrong" story, makes for better TV but it is completely inaccurate. This is a story about a guy just doing his thing, living his life, loving those around him, and two other people ending that life. Period. This is not the Stacey Rock story - as it has become - HER first love, HER ex husband, sorry I call BS. This is about Edward Schiller, and while I assume Stacey made Ed happy on many levels, who knows what he thought of the future. And I hope that Stacey IS "living for Ed now". I see that his family started a scholarship in Eds name. I see that his brother has changed his life and is going to Law School now. What is Stacey doing "for Ed".? Perhaps it is a private thing, but if she is talking about her role in his life and death, perhaps she can share what she is doing for Ed now, is she counseling women in bad marriages? Is she raising money for the Ed Schiller scholarship? Has she apologized to the Schiller family for unwittingly putting Ed in danger? Perhaps I am being unjust in being annoyed that the moody "alone and lost" shots of Stacey at the Wayside Inn and Room number 9. That is nauseating, at what point did this become about her loss, her love, her ex husband? The NEXT reporting of this story needs to be lead by Eds family with Stacey as a FOOTNOTE. This is NOT "love gone wrong". It is about a man, who's life included so many people, so many loved ones, and his murder is a terrible loss.
Stacey is, no doubt, a root cause of this whole scenario. I think that she could have had an impact in preventing it but instead she chose to just continue to enjoy the sex and the attention from Ed. People need to learn that their actions or lack of actions have impacts and that those potential impacts should be considered when such serious situations develop. For Brescia's part - he was way too sloppy and it was his own fault for getting convicted. Should serve as a lesson to all you jealous people......plan it very very meticulously and read a bunch of murder stories (not from the library) to get yourself smart on "do's" and "don'ts" in such cases, as spouses and lovers are 1st suspects. The bum couldn't even pull off a crime without leaving so many obvious trails!
Wow, what a sad story. Unfortunately, I don't think there is anything that Stacey could have done differently because Jim would have still been jealous of Ed even if their divorce had already gone through, because he wanted Stacey and the kids for himself, and did not want to share them with Ed. I wish Stacey had just remained single until she and Ed were ready for each other instead of marrying Jim hoping to transform him into Ed, that's the only way this tragedy could have been avoided, but she chose to marry Jim because she had this idea of having kids by a certain age and Ed wasn't ready for that yet. Time sometimes has a way of making things difficult, complicated, and sometimes, even impossible...
The parking garage where Ed worked should have had a keycard access entry, maybe then Scott wouldn't have been able to enter and wait for Ed, but maybe then he would have waited for him elsewhere, like at Stacey's. As long as there are evil people willing to kill for money, like Scott, things like this will keep happening. People like Jim need to realize, though, that forcing someone to stay with you by killing their new partner will not make them love you any more, in fact, it will get that person to hate you. I hope Jim loses his appeal and pays for his crime. In the end, he lost it all due to his jealousy, including Stacey and the kids. He could have had a nice friendship with Stacey but now he has earned her contempt towards him and he will miss out on seeing his kids grow up, plus they will hate him forever for being a murderer.
Yes, this is a sad story. Sadness for the lives this woman ruined. For heaven's sakes....! This is more than just a messy triangle story of love gone wrong. Get a grip peeps. Stacey is responsible for ruining the lives of TWO MEN! One dead and the other in prison for life; not to mention causing her three kids to grow up fatherless. And THAT'S the bottom line here. There were the lives of OTHERS involved, not just her pitiful selfish "love" desires. No where do I read her own remorse for all the pain and heartache she caused, nor do I see her taking responsibility for pushing her husband over the edge; no sorrow for her kids, just her 'lost' love. What a selfish woman. Doesn't ANYONE see what she caused???! I sure do.
I have to agree. Having known Brescia, at least superficially, I think the guy was probably very posessive. But Stacey had to know all that and had to know where it might potentially lead. Her only remorse seems to be for her dead lover. I think there is plenty of blame to go around and she certainly has her share of it, though she may not admit to it.
I knew Brescia and though he played "the big shot" at work, I never would have guessed him to stoop that low. He bartended at the Sons of Italy in Watertown in addition to his day job and there are still a few who to this day question his guilt at the Sons. They say it was all "circumstantial". No doubt at all in my mind that the guy set it up...he just looked the type even though most of us would not believe he would resort to such an action. I think he is where he deserves to be and I feel bad for his ex-wife and others impacted. Don't these people get it? When there is a murder, it's always either the spouse or lover that become first suspects. The guy should have had the smarts to just pay cash for a calling card at a store he never used. And the money...he never had a clue that they chyecked dates. Good thing to know in case someone out there is planning anything.. In effect, Brescia had a chance to get away with it had he not been so sloppy.
Just goes to show you, you need to plan ahead if you are going to commit such a crime. This is not meant to be serious, just a bunch of tips for all you potential murderers in a love triangle:
1) Hire a hit man you can trust but see him alone ONLY once at isolated location
2) Call him only using only public phones and calling cards bought with cash at out-of-the way stores.
3) No emails, no calls from/to any of your phones. Use "anonymous" surfing and if there is anything on your PC that even hints at plans, don't depend on "delete" - trash the drive!
4) Be far away when the hit happens and with plenty of witnesses
5) NEVER speak to anyone with ill feelings toward the person you are having bumped off
6) Never show true feelings...look and sound pleasant
7) Pay hitman in cash and handle the money in latex gloves...and pay off in a "drop area" alone....and then tell your "hit man" where to pick up the dough
8) Practice your answers to inevitable questions
9) Consider having the hitman bumped off later with another hitman and follow above rules
10) assume you are somehow being "watched" after the initial "hit"...so be cool and lead them on a goosechase..
I hope the above tips are of help to all you potential love-triangle people that are considering having your "competition" taken care of.......
Remember, and no offense intended, the typical police detective is not very smart. He is an irish man whose father was a cop and graduated from high school to get into being a policeman . It's just that they have the huge advantage of the law-enforcement "tools" (search warrants, wiretaps, arrest, etc) and you as the average citizen have none except for your potential intelligence. The one BIG edge you MIGHT have (if you are not a scumbag) over the typical detective is your intelligence!
OK, OK..all of above was intended for a humor twist and to show how these guys acted so stupidly.
For some reason this story is just sticking with me, maybe it is the holidays coming up, but I really hope that if Eds family reads these things that people post that they will be brave enough to turn his website...edschiller.com....into a documentary or something - Ed's life was much more interesting then the last day he was here. I hope to see more about Ed, less Stacey/Brescia/Foxworth, and how this guy crammed so much into 39 years.
