Investigators said the neighbor saw the man walking back to his car with the teen girl, who was reportedly not wearing any shoes or pants.
Police said Austin Lee Edwards was catfishing the teen daughter of Brooke Winek before the Winek family murders in Riverside, CA.A neighbor who called 911 to try to help a 15-year-old girl in Riverside describes witnessing the suspect with the young girl before her family's home erupted in flames.
Before the crime unfolded, a neighbor down the street called police to report an unknown car with Virginia license plates parked in her driveway. "She did seem and appear a little distressed, so it was concerning enough to these people to call," said Riverside PD Ofc. Ryan Railsback. Since the neighbor who called in to report Edwards' car in her driveway had given the license plate number to police, it didn't take long for detectives to track him down.
Police believe the 28-year-old was pretending to be a teenager and believe it was one of the ways he was able to lure the teen. Police have since conducted an initial interview with the girl, but noted the investigation may take a while given the circumstances. They're trying to find out when and where the two met.
