It’s a shame that we’ll never know who Dylan was in love with, mostly because that girl will never know either. Unless she knew? If she didn’t however I think it’s quite sad.

It’s one of those things about Dylan we just may never ever know. Information lost.. evaporated with the memories and closely guarded secrets of Dylan Klebold’s mind with the impact of that bullet. There is that one girl that came forward recently with her story of having a crush on him, hiding in the school during the massacre and writing him a letter in hiding which she eventually left on his wooden cross, but well, that’s her side of the story. We’ll never really know if that was one of a few girls he liked let alone The Girl he was infatuated with as referenced in his journal. It’s sad, yes, but I don’t know. In a way, it’s kind of enigmatic and cool. Like, you can almost add it as Number Eight in addition to all the Seven Wonders of the World. It’s a mystery, a puzzle, we can’t ever really solve here on the earth (unless of course Jeffco gets sloppy and someone leaks unredacted passages from his journal but I’m not holding my breath there..). But hmm, who knows? maybe someday on the other side some day? If he’s willing to divulge, that is. 😏

What did dylan get on his ACT

According to Jeff Kass’s book Columbine: A True Crime Story,  Dylan had a 2.74 GPA and was 229th of 463 in his class in the middle of his senior year.  His SAT scores were 560 verbal, 650 math, and 1210 combined. (p.162).  Which is good – it put him in roughly the 75th percentile.

According to the University of Arizona 1998-1999 catalog, admission to the College of Engineering and Mines (for computer science) required the following: “Applicants must be ranked in the upper 25 percent of the high school graduating class; or have achieved a grade-point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale; or a composite score of 23 (24 for out-of-state applicants) on the ACT; or a minimum combined score of 1050 on the SAT.”  So that’s how he got in!

In some parts of the 11k people say that there was a 3rd shooter, Robert Perry, and at other times it says “redacted”. This makes me wonder if there was a 3rd shooter or if anyone else knew about it beforehand. What do you think about this?

Question 2. Do you believe there were any shooters on 4/20 besides Dylan and Eric (Robert Perry, Joe Stair, etc.)?

I answered the conspiracy theories and case for multiple shooters here

Overall, I do find it interesting that there are very specific descriptions from some witnessed that are dead serious that they either did not see Eric or Dylan or they saw other shooters with the two. The most interesting for me would be Robert Perry because there was quite a few that described him specifically (dark hair, crater face, bad acne, bad teeth, cheap cotton fabric trench coat, different shoes) and none of those descriptors add up to Dylan’s appearance other than the basic shared characteristics of being tall, gangly and skinny with long, thin faces.  Some witnesses said “yeah, I know this kid, he was on the debate team and dropped out.”  They knew Robert Perry well and were adamant that it was him for the simple fact that they were in the same class with him!  Not sure how you could mistaken Dylan for someone you’ve seen a lot in class.  In a few instances, Jeffco manages to convince a few witnesses that they are seeing Dylan not Perry.  I wondered if they basically strong-armed the students into agreeing with them so they could keep it simple that there was only two shooters the entire time. But it begs the question that if there was more than two participating, even if they helped E & D and didn’t actually shoot to kill, why did they not get arrested?  Some students were still convinced of who they witnessed – not being E & D –  and mentioned in their account they were scared to go back to school knowing that perpetrator/s were still on the loose.  But the story ends there and we hit a dead end with the third and multiple shooter theories because nothing has happened since. There have been no whistle blowers come forward and many of these dudes, including Perry himself, is living his life today free and easy. Many of the TCMers are still friends on Facebook.  So, it’s a mystery.   I can understand that a lot of students were in shock on the day and so they were mixed up with visual descriptions, sequences of events, etc.  But some were very convinced of who they saw participating so I find it an interesting mystery that seemingly will never be solved just for the sheer fact that so much time has lapsed at this point.  Evan Long  presented a strong case for the multiple shooter theory and yet nothing came to light with all his diligent research over the years. If you want to interpret that as him being asked to stop looking into the matter, you could do so if you are a avid conspiracy theorist enthusiast. 😉  However, I get the impression that Long simply lost interested because there was no way to prove anything conclusively and nothing really panned out or came to light; all he had was well constructed theories based on several anomalous eyewitness account descriptions being vastly different from Eric and Dylan in dress and physical description.   

Also, yes, friends and associates of Eric and Dylan did kinda sorta know what they were planning.  Nate Dykeman unwittingly helped the boys make pipe bombs and saw the one that Eric’s dad confiscated. But Nate was a bit like Robyn in that they were used by the boys for their friendship but they were naive in thinking E & D were never going to pull any harmful stunts.  Then you had others in the TCM, like Alejandra Marsh, who claimed she knew what they were planning to do and she pretty much boasted that among peers the days after Columbine.   Eric Veik most definitely knew.  He’s the little guy that filmed E & D’s video productions.  I’m sure they openly talked about what they planned to do around him and liberally, and Veik was sort of living vicariously through the boys eating all of it up. It’s like he looked up to E & D but Veik was sort of an outcast even in his association with the boys; they used him because he was good at making vids. There’s no doubt that Veik was also bullied for his small stature and he also harbored a hidden anger. He was devastated when E & D actually followed through and did what they said they were going to.  It’s like Veik missed them but at the same time was also resentful that he was left out of their plans.  Six months after Columbine,  Veik was arrested for signs of planning to “finish the job they started” as a student over heard him say.  So, Veik is pretty much the first would-be copy cat of E & D.  They found his stash of flares as well as journal. I would reeeally love to pick Eric Veik’s brains because he was most definitely in the know and heard a lot of stuff that I doubt he’ll never divulge in a million years.  But Veik made it out of a very trying time and now lives somewhere in the southwest I believe?  having made a career out of video production.  A really good detailed account on Veik can be found here.

Was Eric Dylan’s best friend? At least by the time of the shooting?

Question 2: Do you think by the time NBK came up that Dylan did consider Eric his best friend? Or do you think he never did ?

In Dylan’s heart of hearts, I think Zack (likely to be name number three below) was, always would be, that best friend and kindred spirit that understood him well.  But as the months drew nearer to 4/20, Eric became Dylan’s best friend by default, simply because of the mutual nihilistic business arrangement that they secretly shared. Interesting that Dylan refers to Eric always as “Eric” in his personal stuff and never “REB”.  He only refers to him using his nickname around him.

when Devon slept over Dylan’s house did she sleep in the same bed with him? I wonder if Dylan slept with Eric in the same bed

Yeah, all three of ‘em slept together in Dylan’s bed.  Riiiiight.  

*laughs*  I’m picturing this.  There’s a fanfic in there somewhere, I’m sure….

You do know the ginormous size of Dylan’s house right?   A friend over would stay in the guest room or maybe in Bryon’s room while he was off to college..  Eric might’ve slept on the floor in Dyl’s room, maybe but I kind of doubt it.   Anyway, this is why Dyl’s friend’s – Nate I believe it was – who stayed over quite often jokingly referred to the Klebold’s as their ‘country home’ away from home.

did devon have a crush on dylan?

No. When Devon referenced love in regards to Dylan she meant the love and admiration for someone she regarded as a “best friend” and “confidant” (her words). I’m sure since Zack was her boyfriend and Dylan was Zack’s best friend he got to hear a lot of dirt about their relationship. There were times when he drove her to school so I’m sure he got an ear full then (whether he wanted to hear it or not too. ha!) 😏

do you think dylan would think a girl with a per fetish is weird?

Honest, nope. Dyl would be guilty as charged in 2015 with his own little regular proclivities which are so readily available now. And you don’t have to wait for that 56K modem to slooowly download it all, ugh.. Oh, don’t get me wrong though, he would blush immensely – all awkward as fuck because he’d then know what you secretly liked and that you knew that he knew your little secret which was also a very similiar little secret habit for him too. 😏
