A former Virginia police officer allegedly “catfished” a 15-year-old girl online before traveling to her home in Riverside, California, and killing her family, according to police.
Riverside police said they determined the suspect, 28-year-old Austin Lee Edwards, met the girl online through “catfishing,” where someone pretends to be a different person than they actually are. Police believe Allen was pretending to be a teenager, according to Riverside Police Officer Ryan Railsback.
