Email to Virginia Tech Famlies on Cho's Mental Health Records

Wednesday, July 22, 2009

As reported by the Collegiate Times, here is the text of an email sent to families of Virginia Tech shooting victims.
Dear Families,

Governor Kaine is announcing this morning that the Cook Counseling Center file for Cho has been located and turned over to the Virginia State Police. Additional information concerning the locating of the file are contained in the attached memorandum from Virginia Tech to the Governor's Office. There is an investigation under way to determine how the file was removed from the Cook Counseling Center.

Governor Kaine will be supporting efforts to secure a release in order to allow the medical records to be released to family members and the general public.

We will keep you apprised of those efforts. We are hopeful that the release can be secured very promptly.

We wish that we could provide additional details about the content of the file, but the Governor's office has not reviewed the file and must await the same release in order to do so.

Thank you for your time and attention to this development. We look forward to discussing it with you further.
Further information from the AP is that the records were "discovered in the home of the former director of the university's counseling center," Dr. Robert H. Miller.
