Austin Lee Edwards drove 2,500 miles to kidnap the teen and kill her mom and grandparents.
from the local police department, the man has been identified as Austin Lee Edwards, a 28-year-old former Virginia state trooper, who drove 2,500 miles to “meet” the girl after catfishing her and then murdered her family before driving away with her.
“This is yet another horrific reminder of the predators existing online who prey on our children,” the Riverside police chief said. “If you’ve already had a conversation with your kids on how to be safe online and on social media, have it again. If not, start it now to better protect them.”Riverside detectives have concluded that Edwards met the girl via an unidentified website where he posed as a different individual and developed a relationship with her, obtaining her whereabouts.
Edwards was eventually apprehended, while driving with the teen, by authorities in San Bernardino County. Ultimately, a shootout occurred, with Edwards firing at deputies until he was fatally shot by police. According to authorities, the unharmed teen has been placed into protective custody of the Riverside County Department of Public Social Services.If you need a designated Gamer TV™, this might be the one for you: this Sony TV makes your PS5 games more vivid and reduces input lag.
