The agency said Thursday it would not have hired Austin Lee Edwards, the suspect in a Riverside triple slaying, if it had that information.
Virginia State Police interviewed the family and friends ofbefore he was admitted to their academy in 2021, but his hiring suggests that none mentioned an apparent violent incident five years earlier that resulted in Edwards being taken in for a mental-health examination.
Edwards cut himself with a knife early on Feb. 8, 2016, at a home in Abingdon, Virginia, threatened to kill both himself and his father and wrestled with medics and police who attempted to treat him and take him into custody, according to a report from the Abingdon Police Department. And Thursday, Geller said Edwards’ associates had been interviewed during the check as well. She declined to say whether Edwards’ father, Roy Edwards, was among those interviewed. Investigators apparently were left unaware of the detention orders.
