Law enforcement sources say the ex-bodyguard’s “disappearance”
Law enforcement sources told TMZ that his “disappearance” took a lot of people by surprise. The outlet reported that investigators only wanted to find out Edison’s willingness to testify after he dropped out last week.
Authorities still have no clue about his whereabouts as of Tuesday.
Edison is still not considered a “missing person”, nor has anyone reported him as missing.
On Monday, Megan’s attorney Alex Spiro told The Shade Room that her team last contacted Edison on Thursday night. At the time, they fully expected him to appear in court on Friday for testimony that they believe could devastate the Tory Lanez trial.
Spiro alluded to possible witness intimidation in the Lanez case and added that prosecutors have opened an investigation into those claims, according to TMZ.
The District Attorney’s office did not issue a statement when asked for comment on Edison.
