The release Wednesday of Virginia Tech shooter Seung-Hui Cho's missing mental health records did not persuade Gov. Tim Kaine to reconvene the eight-member review panel that investigated the incident in 2007.

"No," Kaine spokesman Gordon Hickey said Wednesday when asked if the contents of the recovered records had caused the governor to reconsider.

Shortly after news broke July 22 that former Cook Counseling Center Director Robert Miller had found the records, missing since 2006, in his Blacksburg home, more than 60 survivors and families of the victims signed a public letter asking Kaine to reconstitute the panel to conduct a new investigation.

Many, including Tracey Lane of Narrows, have reiterated that desire in interviews. Lane is the mother of slain engineering student Jarrett Lee Lane.

Rather than reconvene the panel, Kaine has invited families and survivors to submit suggested changes and corrections to the panel's report. The suggestions will be evaluated by TriData Corp., the firm that assisted the panel in 2007.

Wednesday was supposed to be the deadline, but in light of the release of Cho's treatment records, Kaine said his office would continue to accept suggested changes.

"We're committed to doing a thorough job and making the corrections that the factual data would warrant."

Kaine also said he is scheduled to meet with families in September and again in January.

After reviewing the records Wednesday, Roger O'Dell, father of injured student Derek O'Dell, wrote in an e-mail: "It does not immediately strike me that any records are missing or have been altered. Rather, I find myself looking for every little possibility where the immense tragedy could have been prevented.

"There are lessons to be learned," O'Dell wrote. "But we still don't know, and may never know, what pushed Cho over the edge. Many thousands of people may exist with similar characteristics. How can society know if they may be future mass murderers?"

Miller, who was demoted in 2006, has said he mistakenly packed a Manila folder containing treatment records of Cho and a number of other students with his personal documents while cleaning out his former office at the Cook center. Miller said he found the records July 15 of this year while searching for information relevant to two $10 million civil suits against Tech and various officials. Those suits were filed by the parents of Julia Pryde and Nicole Peterson, who died in the shootings.
