It is about a teacher from El Paso, Texas named Edward Hermanski who
got caught up with a murder investigations, where one of his students
was the main suspect. Upon further investigation, Hermanski and his
friend, a cop by the name of Johnny, realized that there were very many
strange things going on. Johnny suggests that they call a sergeant in
the El Paso PD who specializes in Occult cases. The sergeant (who's
name I never found out) disappears that night when the three of them
stay the night there to check the place out. To this day, he has never
been found. Apparently, a while back, his wife was on 'Unsolved
Mysteries' trying to figure out what happened to her husband.
Anyway, the student of Hermanski's, by the name of Kimberly, is tried
out here in Phoenix, because they could not find a partial jury in El
Paso and New Mexico. She is found guilty of her parent's murder and the
teacher moves out here to Phoenix.
That is the very short version of the most terrifying story I have ever
heard. I heard it straight from the teachers mouth 2 years ago, and
have been doing some investigating of my own, but I seem to be coming
up empty handed. I am asking to you to see if anyone from this area may
have any light to shed on this...if you know what I am talking about. I
know it may be a long shot, but I just need to know if there is any
place on the web I can find more information on this story, or if you
know anything. Thank you for your time.

Really though, without much info to go on you are asking much. What are the
facts as you see them?

Greetings Mr. McCleve.
.
I'm from El Paso. Your "very short version the the most terrifying story"
you "have ever heard" does not ring any bells. Can you provide further
information and recheck some of your facts?
.
I can find no synopsis of a missing EPPD officer at Unsolved Mysteries.
.
What's Kimberly's (and her parents) last name? In what year did the murders
take place? Are you sure it happened in El Paso (or Fabens area) and not in
Arizona? Criminal trials in the US occur in the state in which the crime
was committed.
.
Are you sure your teacher wasn't telling you the plot of one of the worst
movies ever made? See: _'Manos' the Hands of Fate_ (The Lodge of Sins)
(1966) at http://www.gdarkness.com/movies-others.html
.
Is your teacher Edward P. Hermanski, the 2001-2002 VFW Arizona State Teacher
of the Year, Hamilton HS, Chandler, Arizona?
.
You have me intrigued, Mr. McCleve. Give us all the scoop about one of the
strangest, and by far, horrifying story you ever heard.

It takes more than a four cornered sandwich to make a square meal.
Please, all of you, promise me this: if perchance you happen to view
'Manos' the Hands of Fate ... see the MST3K version. Please. I beg of
you.
"Without much info to go on you are asking much."
Tell me about it. Welcome to my world for the past three years. I've
spoken recently to this teacher again, and asked him if he could give
me specific names. He said due to 'privacy protection' laws, he could
not.
I did find out which school he taught at during all of this. It was
Walter Clarke Middle School, in El Paso...
...after three years...sadly, that's all I have.
When he told me about it, there were a few outside sources that I could
confirm it with, but they haven't been much helpful either:
National Georgraphic
Unsolved Mysteries
The El Paso Times
However, I thought I would still give it a shot with you guys. Oh, and
yes to answer your question Gordon, that is the same Edward Hermanski.
But the reason the trial was moved out here to Arizona was because the
defense wanted a change of venue; apparently they could not find a
partial jury.

Fair enough. However, please tell us what you know about this story. What
makes this particular murder case the most strangest and horrifying story
you've ever heard?
.
This isn't about William and Margaret Patterson and the mystery surrounding
their haunted Piedmont Street house and UFO abduction, is it?
.
FWIW ... a change of venue normally does not mean change of state. A
federal crime?
