"In a statement, Andis said Edwards was hired earlier this month and was in the process of being assigned to the patrol division. Edwards resigned from Virginia State Police on October 28, a spokesperson for the agency said.

The spokesperson declined to provide additional details, citing a state law that bars authorities from releasing anything beyond a resignation date."

So cop resigns for a reason the authorities don't allow us to know, moves to the other side of the country, and is immediately rehired as a cop. Proceeds to murder and abduct.

Wonder just what it was that prompted his initial resignation?

If this pattern seems familiar, replace "cop" with "priest" and you'll realize why.
