All these years later and it's never been solved. I remember when this happened. There was another KSP officer that looked enough like KSP Edrington to make me believe it could've been a case of mistaken identity. The other trooper was a little older, but at a late night traffic stop it could be hard to tell them apart. Prayers for his family and friends.
