“ Unfortunately even if you did like me even the slightest bit, you would hate me if you knew who I was, I am a criminal, I have done things that almost nobody would even think about condoning “ 

- Dylan klebold

Photograph of melted chairs in the cafeteria of Columbine High School, shortly after the school shooting orchestrated by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. The pair had attempted to use a number of explosive devices to aid in the attack on their school, although the larger bombs they planted did not detonate, the damage shown is of a molotov cocktail thrown by Klebold in an attempt to initiate an explosion.

Awhh, I’ve never seen this photo of Kevin Harris before. 

Columbine Crime Scene Team, led by Chris Andrist. Each of the seven teams were made up of different experts, and each team had an expert in the following areas:

Each of the teams were assigned to a different area of the school to begin crime scene processing. As the investigation came to a conclusion, a timeline was compiled detailing all the significant activities and events which occurred on April 20, 1999.  This is the timeline used as a basis for this comprehensive report.  The information for the timeline came from many different sources to include witness interviews, written reports, videotapes, 911 calls, law enforcement and medical radio traffic, evidence, ballistic reports and autopsy reports.

Lindsey Fry has a playful dog, Daisy, that stays in the trailer, and Roof often used his foot to shove it away when it tried to cozy up to him. “He was mean to Daisy,” she said.

Dylann “was weird,” Fry said. “I can’t explain it. I never met anyone like him. I wish he had never even come over here.”

Tracing the Steps of Jeffrey Dahmer: Day 1

Photo 1: The lot where Jeffrey Dahmer’s apartment used to stand.

Photo 2: The apartments next to the empty lot where Jeffrey’s apartment was.

Photo 3: A warehouse and coffee shop across the street from the empty lot where the Ambrosia Chocolate Factory used to stand.

Photo 4: The empty lot where the Ambrosia Chocolate Factory used to be.

Photo 5: The Ambassador Hotel.

Photo 6: Room 507 in the Ambassador Hotel where Jeffrey murdered Steven Tuomi in his sleep.

Photo 7: Jeffrey’s Grandmother’s house.

Photo 8: The gay club at 219 where Jeffrey used to ‘hunt’ for his victims. 

I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to visit all of these places in one day, but it was surprisingly easy. They are all relatively close to each other, which shouldn’t have been a surprise to me seeing as how Jeffrey relied heavily on walking or public transportation. Anyways, today was very interesting. It’s one thing to read about all of these places, but to see them in person is a completely different experience. Milwaukee is nothing like I thought it would be. It’s actually not a bad city at all, which is kinda sad considered that it will probably have the ‘Milwaukee Cannibal’ hanging over it’s head forever. I have TONS of other photos but this pretty much covers the major stuff. Overall my trip is been great so far. I’ve had a lot of fun here.

Polly Nelson, Ted Bundy’s defense attorney, claimed that when Bundy first called her he came off as insecure. Nelson immediately painted a mental picture of Bundy as a gratuitous and humble person, and thus was quite surprised when the killer began rattling off various demands. Despite having been wrong about him once, Nelson still found it hard to believe that he could have killed anyone when she met him face to face. “This dangerous man was not detectable by sight or sound. But it was not because Ted exuded charm- he was too obviously disingenuous to be truly charming. It was not because Ted was such a ‘diabolical genius’ that he could fool you – believe me, he was not that smart. The real reason you could look at Ted Bundy straight in the face – even with full knowledge of what he had done – and not see a single sign of his guilt, was that he truly believed he was not guilty.”

How fucking creepy must Patrick Ireland feel knowing he was the ONLY one to hear the last sounds of Dylan Klebold. He heard him dying. & at the time he didn’t even know it. 

The actual weapons used by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold on display at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, February 26, 2004. The majority of the items displayed include the pump action shotguns, pipe bombs, and multiple knives each carried during the attack on Columbine on April 20, 1999.  

In the last image you can see the fake guns used during ‘Radioactive Clothing’. Other photos contain objects they possessed but may not have used during the attack. 

On August 30, 1985, an arrest warrant for Richard Ramirez was issued and his face revealed to the public. Ramirez, unaware that his picture was all over the newspapers, got off of a Greyhound bus, and walked into a liquor store. The woman working inside recognized him and began yelling that he was the Night Stalker. Shocked, he quickly fled the store and headed toward the heavily populated Hispanic area of east Los Angeles. A small mob had formed and were following close behind him.

The mob beat him, until the police arrived. Reportedly, Ramirez raised his hands to the police, begging for protection, and identified himself as the Night Stalker.

4/20/16. The 17th year.

By the time Jeffrey Dahmer was 27 years old, his father began to become suspicious of his activities. Dahmer’s grandmother Catherine often complained about the putrid smells coming from the basement, but the killer would alleviate any of her suspicions by making up excuses, claiming that it was the smell of spoiled food or a litter box. Catherine soon grew wary of these excuses which caused Dahmer’s father to take initiative and check the basement himself. He was met with the nauseating smell of decay and soon noticed a thick, dark, and sticky liquid covering the basement floor. Its stench resembled a combination of organic materials and chemicals. When faced by his father, Dahmer yet again brushed it off, claiming that he was merely carrying out similar experiments to the ones he had done on dead animals as a child (which involved dissolving their flesh and muscle to the bone), and that the liquid on the floor was residue left behind from them. Lionel accepted this, but still had a slight suspicion that his son was up to no good.
