The suspect in a triple homicide who died in a shootout with police Friday in Southern California apparently drove across the country to meet a teen girl he catfished online, before killing three of her family members, police said.
Police have identified the suspect in a triple murder in Riverside as Austin Lee Edwards, who they say"catfished" a teen before killing her family.
Three bodies found in the family's home were identified by police as the girl’s grandparents, Mark Winek, 69, his wife, Sharie Winek, 65, and the girl's mother, Brooke Winek, 38. The cause of the fire at the home – about 50 miles southeast of Los Angeles – also remained under investigation, police said, but appeared to have been “intentionally ignited.
Investigators later determined the two people were Edwards and the teenager, whose age was not released. Several hours later, authorities were able to track Edwards' vehicle down as he was driving with the teen through San Bernardino County in the unincorporated area of Kelso.
