Cop catfishes teen drives cross country kills family burns down their house

Virginia cop catfishes a teen. Drives cross country to see her. Kills her grandparents and mom. Burns their house down and thenHe's caught with the teen, gets into a gunfight with police and is killed.

Wow..
Thought this was wild enough for ATS.

R.I.P to the victim's springs to mind.

And the hope the perp responsible for such spurious depraved antics burns in hell.

Wow. What a hell of a story.

I'm glad the guy got what was coming to him, but that kid is gonna be messed up for life.

Poor soul.

So many elements to this story.
First off, we've got a cop stalking teens online.
The catfishing element, and the dangers thereof; especially for our young ones.
He drives all the way from VA to CA.
He kills grandparents, and mom, then sets fire to the house. What caused him to kill them? Premeditated, or just happened?
He's abducted the teen at this point, or so it seems.
And is killed by cops

Instant justice, great. But what a mess..
Wild wild stuff. It's like evil is going into overdrive.

What caused him to kill them? Premeditated, or just happened?

My guess is he simply does not like the word "No".

Or they threatened to contact authorities and tell them what he's been up to with the daughter.

My guess is he simply does not like the word "No".

That was my first thought. Then I wondered if it was a straight up strong arm abduction he had planned out.
Both ways equally disturbing.

Yeh, the dude seems to have been ticking just about all the danger boxes so to speak.

It sounds like he should have already been on a list or two.

And not just for the Policeman's ball nether.

The whole story seems to be covered in ""disturbing"" from head to toe.

I just found another article on it with more detail

You really do have to wonder what goes through some people’s heads that makes them do stuff like this.

“Cop catfishes teen drives cross country kills family burns down their house”.

Could you imagine being at work and some dude bought up that story. Everybody would just stop, go silent… then be like “anyway”! And quickly change the subject.

It’s totally messed up, beyond comprehension. What’s wrong with people these days?

The suspect looks like a real loser.
It’s a shame the grandfather wasn’t able to kill him before he got them.

As a young girl I was told there were certain people to never get in a relationship with.
The two that stood out…

-Cops
-Professional Chefs

I guess both those are known to be crazy and often times abusers. Not saying all, but it sure seems to be true.

www.cnn.com...

Officers with the Riverside Police were dispatched Friday to check the welfare of a young female who appeared distressed while getting into a red car with a man, police said. While officers were responding, 911 dispatchers began getting calls about a fire in the same neighborhood, just a few houses away from where the welfare check originated.

It doesn't appear she was forced into the car.

seems a bit of an over reaction to being caught Cat-Faishing someone .

Exactly. Another possibility is the teen may have had a plan with dude. I hate to go down that road, but nothing surprises me anymore. Teens are killing parents/gaurdians left and right these days. Just a thought tho.
It'll be interesting to see what other details come out.

Maybe add Offshore Commercial Fishermen to that list Jag.
Just a thought…..
