Edgar Heinz is an elephant trainer for the circus in Season 2. Like most of the circus performers, he too, is an immigrant. While Adrian Monk was investigating the murder of Sergei Cluvarias, he confronted Natasia Lovara claiming he watched her order his elephant, Dede, to crush her foot. Rather than demand hush money, he revealed that he admired her and would like to spend time with her. When Monk sought to help Sharona conquer her fear of elephants, Edgar offered to share a demonstration with Dede, unaware that Natasia planted a walkie-talkie behind Dede's ear. When Edgar had Dede place her foot on top of his head, Natasia ordered Dede to crush Edgar's head, which she did.
