Solving the Murder of Mary Catherine Edwards

Othram Incorporated CEO David Mittelman joins us to tell the story of the January 1995 rape and slaying of 31-year-old elementary school teacher Mary Catherine Edwards. The case went unsolved for 26 years, most of which it remained cold but certainly not forgotten. In April of 2021, thanks to a collaborative effort by the Beaumont Police, the Texas Rangers, authorities in Ohio, and Othram Incorporated, Catherine’s killer was identified, arrested, and charged for her murder. Her killer, Clayton Bernard Foreman, had a prior rape on his record that shared similarities. It seems the likelihood is strong that Foreman, a violent and seemingly unapologetic offender, is responsible for more similar crimes.

If you have any information about Mary Catherine Edwards’s case or about her killer, Clayton Bernard Foreman please call the Beaumont Police at 409-832-1234.
