WASHINGTON — A Virginia sheriff says that he ordered two of his deputies to search the home of a colleague who killed three people in California, and insists they acted to protect the public.
Washington County Sheriff Blake Andis also says he told Riverside police, who are leading the investigation into “catfishing” cop Austin Lee Edwards, about his deputies’ Nov. 25 search of Edwards’ home.
The official search of the home happened on Nov. 26, the morning after the Washington County deputies were videotaped on Edwards’ property.
