Weeks before a former Virginia state trooper allegedly killed three members of a California family in a “catfishing” scheme, he bought a home sight unseen and blacked out the windows, the man who sold him the house says.

Courtesy Jacob GordonAuthorities believe Edwards posed as a 17-year-old while interacting with a teenage girl in Riverside, California. Edwards traveled there and is accused of killing the 15-year-old's mother, Brooke Winek, 38; and grandparents, Mark Winek, 69, and Sharie Winek, 65, authorities in Riverside have said.

The girl is in the custody of Child Protective Services and is receiving trauma counseling, a family friend said at a news conference Wednesday. The sheriff's office has previously said that a background check revealed Edwards had not been subject to reprimands, internal investigations or other issues.After moving in to the home, Edwards hung blackout curtains and tinted the windows with what Gordon believed may have been a product made for cars, he said. It isn't clear why he did so. Gordon did not discuss it with Edwards and said he didn't think much about it at the time.
