Investigator Who Worked Daybell Case Appears on Courtroom Insider
Nick Edwards, who served as an investigator with the Idaho Attorney General’s Office during the high-profile Daybell case, appeared on “Courtroom Insider” to discuss his law enforcement career and a newly published book about his military service.
Edwards sat down with host Nate Eaton for what was described as his first interview about the book, titled “The Guard.” The interview aired Monday evening on East Idaho News.
