If he makes parole he could be released on October 7th I advokate for the maximum of 16 years, a small price to pay for his fiercely, brutal crime.
Here is my Victim's statement.....please pray for justice to prevail! Thank you!

Re: Preciado-Nuno, Edward

Dear Commissioners of the Board of Parole in the State of Nevada,
I am unable to afford the expense of attending this hearing and being the face and voice of Kimberly Ann Long, a vow that I made long ago when Kimberly was murdered, however finances prohibits me in doing so! She has no defense other than her family, in writing and in pictures.
I am writing you in remembrance of my daughter Kimberly. I am her voice, her face and her biological mother.
It has been nearly 10 years since Kimberly’s life was brutally taken away from us, by a man who was trained in the beginning to take lives as a veteran marine and later to save lives as a former sheriff and FBI agent.
Every day is a struggle to get through this reprehensible experience!
On Nov 12, 2008, I received a phone call by Kimberly as we often would communicate every week or so. This time was different. I was on the phone nearly 2 hours discussing the recent events surrounding her and Jeffrey’s problems of fighting, arguing and abusive behavior, along with the presence of Edward harassing her, blaming her and threatening her. She could not understand why this man who, in the previous 5 years, had a good relationship with at family outings and
gatherings, would treat her in such a way. She was so upset and was resolved to the fact that it was over and she had to leave. In tears, she assured me that she had a place to go and was planning to leave that very weekend with bags packed in the garage.
The next day in the early hours of the morning upon returning from her night job she was intentionally,
brutally, maliciously enticed into a confrontation that would ultimately end her life.
Two years later I attended the trial and saw the testimony for myself. Every day I attended the trial. I saw the pictures of her lifeless body. I heard how he knocked her off her feet in a way only a trained operative can, continuing to hammer her more than 36 times, crushing her skull, leaving no part of her body untouched, from head to toe, a broken wrist and more, leaving Edward with a slight contusion on his forehead.
This man lured my daughter into a confrontation with the intent to incriminate her using a hidden video camera. In my view that is gross misuse of his power and FBI experience. He sent his son away so that he could handle the intended confrontation. I find this to be a conspiracy to incriminate my daughter. When she felt that something was going wrong she made several attempts to call Jeff to come home and help her, he intentionally ignored her calls. She was trapped inside that garage with 2 of her children sleeping inside. You can imagine a mother challenged in this way.
No one will ever know exactly what happened. The evidence was vast, yet only a small amount was allowed to be
presented at the trial.
This man showed no remorse at the time of the killing and claimed self defense, and continued to show his arrogance throughout the trial.
There is much to question in all of the details/facts of this case. Many of which were not revealed in the court room.
EVERY BIT OF IT STINKS!
However, several days before Christmas, Edwards’ fate was decided by a jury. Do you think the jurors wanted justice or were they thinking they would rather be home with their families for Christmas?
Kimberly was a beautiful mom with a loving heart and gentle smile. Her 4 children left motherless. She was a daughter, a sister and a friend to many who knew her. Many, many lives were torn apart that day, never to be the same again, EVER!
This man selfishly and brutally took Kimberly’s life with no consideration for anyone but himself and his son. There will never be justice in this horrific death. This man does not deserve parole from this extremely light sentence handed him. His training should have prevented this, yet his arrogance perpetrated it. In my view, he knew exactly what he was doing and when Kimberly did not see it his way he was infuriated and took measures to change that. Well….. HE DID IT! HE HAMMERED HER UNTIL ALL LIFE WAS GONE! Not once, not twice, but 36 times….at any moment he could have stopped. But no, he had to complete the act, so no one could tell her side of the story that would have revealed his original intent.
Giving this man parole would leave me and many others to the conclusion that our justice system is UNJUST and gives lenience to the killer and leaves the victims behind and one dead! One dead with no voice! Never too see her son Kyle graduate, her daughter, Katie’s prom, her son Cody get married or her son Jacob start his first day at school. Please consider the victims in this case and do not allow this man a voice or an opportunity to the very things he took from Kimberly, her family and her friends.
Giving him Parole now, would mean he has only served the minimum of his sentence. The maximum, being 16 years, is a small price to pay for his fiercely, brutal crime.
What does it say to her children, family and friends, if he is allowed to get out? That’s the consequence......let the maximum sentence be his fate and show to us victims that justice can be served and confidence and moral authority can prevail!
Please hold this man accountable for his acts! DENY PAROLE!
Thank you for the opportunity to speak on Kimberly’s behalf as well as her half sister, my daughter, Andrea, my family as well as my own behalf!
Sincerely and with great sorrow and pain, Beverly Saunders
