Edward Isadore "Ed" Savitz

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to Pennsylvania Right to Know Act, I hereby request the following records:

Any and all records relating to Edward Isadore "Ed" Savitz, who was arrested in 1992, dying on March 27, 1993 in prison hospice due to AIDS.

The case became a citywide horror story when District Attorney Lynne M. Abraham announced Savitz's arrest last Friday, revealed that he had AIDS and said he "may have been engaged for several years in both oral and anal sexual contact with as many as several hundred young males."

AIDS hotlines here were flooded by callers saying they had been to "Uncle Ed's" apartment and wanted AIDS testing. On a Grays Ferry corner Friday night, neighbors said teenage girls yelled at a gathering of youths who had frequented Savitz's apartment, accusing them of bringing the AIDS virus to the neighborhood.
