![]() I’m happy that the police realized that the crime scene and Eddie’s story didn’t match. He was lured over to the Makdessi’s, brutally killed and framed for a murder he didn’t commit. Eddie cared more about money than he did about his wife and the lives of these two people. While I don’t agree with what Eddie and Elise planned to do, she didn’t deserve to be brutally murdered. He also said the videotape of Elise should have been able to be used in court, and that it would’ve proved his innocence. He was sentenced to two consecutive life terms.Īfter his conviction, Eddie Makdessi asked for $50 million in damages, and said the prosecution was racially motivated because he’s from the Middle East. However, Eddie was greedy, and he double crossed his wife and killed her for $70,000.Įddie was found guilty for the first degree murder of Elise and Quincy. The prosecution’s theory was that Eddie and Elise came up with a plan together to frame Quincy, and file a lawsuit again the Navy. He also married a Russian woman, and together they had a child.Įddie decided to return to the United States, and he was taken into custody in 2003.Įddie’s trial began in 2006. He would be on the run for almost a decade, before a reported named Mike Mather tracked him down.Įddie said he left Russia because they believed he was an American spy. Eddie was able to collect $700,000 in total after he killed his wife and Quincy.Īfter the murders, Eddie fled to Russia. Elise also had a $200,000 life insurance policy through the Navy. Less than 30 days before the murders, Eddie had taken out a $500,000 life insurance policy on his wife. Quincy was then killed, and Eddie double crossed Elise, and killed her as well. They called Quincy to come over for sex, and convinced him not to use a condom, so that they could get his DNA to insure that they would win the lawsuit. Eddie convinced Elise to make the video, and their plan was to file a lawsuit against the Navy. The police then discovered that Eddie and Elise were actually both involved in Quincy’s murder. The blood spatter and crime scene photos showed that Quincy was shot from the back, not the front like Eddie said. Quincy’s autopsy showed that the first shot penetrated Quincy’s heart, which created arterial spray. The police hired Ross Gardner, a crime scene analyst, and he also said the crime scene contradicted Eddie’s story. Quincy’s fingerprints weren’t on the knife found underneath his hand, and Elise’s blood wasn’t found on any of his clothing.Įlise had purchased the gun used to kill Quincy the night before at a sporting goods store in Hampton, Virginia. The phone called lasted for 2 minutes and 10 seconds. The phone call happened after the time that Eddie said they had returned home, and were attacked. The police discovered that Quincy had actually called the Makdessi’s at 9:36pm. Eddie maintained that it was true.Īfter the police re-examined the crime scene, they started to find inconsistencies in Eddie’s story. She believed that if Elise had been assaulted, she would’ve told her. The police obtained a court order to retrieve the journal, and NCIS was soon called to get involved in the investigation.Įlise’s supervisor and friend Nancy Simpson said that she didn’t believe what Elise was saying. In the videotape, Elise said she had been assaulted in the women’s bathroom, and was threatened that if she told anyone, she and her husband would be killed.Įlise also said that she had named the five men in her journal, and that the journal had been put in her safe deposit box. He turned over a videotape that Elise had made, accusing Quincy and four others of sexual assault. The front hallway was littered with the take out containers, electrical cords were found on the bedroom floor and a knife was found underneath Quincy’s right hand.Įddie told the police that he knew what the motive was. The evidence at the scene seemed to match Eddie’s story.
