The Richmond Times-Dispatch writes that "missing mental health records of Virginia Tech gunman Seung-Hui Cho have been discovered in the home of the university clinic's former director, according to a memo obtained by The Associated Press today."

It continues:

 

Cho killed 32 people on April 16, 2007, before shooting himself. His mental health treatment has been a major issue in the investigation of the shootings.

A memo from Gov. Timothy M. Kaine's chief legal counsel to victims' family members says Cho's records and those of several other Virginia Tech students were found July 18 in the home of Dr. Robert H. Miller.

The memo said the records were removed from the Cook Counseling Center on the Virginia Tech campus more than a year before the shootings.

"I appreciate your call, but I'm not making comment at this time," Miller said when reached at a number for his private practice.

Kaine also told the families that the state intends to release the records, and that state police will investigate why they were removed from the center.
