Okay, so, let me tell you about this thing I was digging into the other day – this whole Edward Reitan situation in North Dakota. It’s a wild ride, let me tell you.
First off, I started by just poking around, trying to get the gist of what happened. Turns out, this guy, Edward Royal Reitan, got himself into some serious trouble. He’s the one who did that shooting in 2004. This is a big case years ago.
I started reading, and it turns out, this guy, Reitan, he actually confessed. I mean, can you believe it? This was like, 14 years later, and he finally said he did it. Apparently, he shot this other guy, Robin Enochson, down in a mobile home near a place called Driscoll. Not good, not good at all.
So, I kept digging. I wanted the details, the nitty-gritty. I found out that they found Enochson dead, shot in his mobile home. And this happened back in 2004, so it’s been a long time coming.
- First, I was just trying to find basic info on what happened.
- Then I found out Reitan confessed.
- Next, I learned about the details of the crime scene.
Then, I stumbled upon this little nugget – a detective, from Burleigh County, no less, was the one who got Reitan to confess. I mean, hats off to that detective, right? This must’ve taken some serious work, getting a confession after all those years.
And get this, I saw that Reitan actually pleaded guilty. He went to court and said, “Yeah, I did it.” This was a news reported on Wednesday, at 3:36 p.m, very precise.
My Thoughts
Man, this whole thing is just… heavy. You’ve got a guy who’s finally admitting to something terrible he did years ago. And now he was facing the music.
From what I read, a life sentence means he could be out on parole in 30 years, which is still a long time, but hey, I guess if he behaves, that could go down by another 10 years. It’s all just so wild to think about, you know?
Anyway, that’s the story of Edward Reitan in North Dakota, at least as far as I could piece it together. It’s a messy one, that’s for sure.
