I can only speculate as to the ‘why.’ Probably because the powers that be were desperate to avoid a trial, so as to avoid any questions as to motive, or perhaps the other suspects would have pointed their fingers higher up in the chain of command.

But you simply can’t ignore the huge number of witnesses who contradict the official version of events.

“On Nov. 21, 2008, the Harris and Klebold parents were sent the same letter requesting cooperation. “Your stories have yet to be fully told, and I view your help as an issue of historical significance,” it said. “In 10 years, there have been no major, mainstream books on Columbine. This will be the first, and it may be the only one.” The letter came not from Mr. Cullen but from Jeff Kass, whose Columbine: A True Crime Story, published by the small Ghost Road Press, preceded Columbine by a couple of weeks.

“Mr. Kass, whose tough account is made even sadder by the demise of The Rocky Mountain News in which his Columbine coverage appeared, has also delivered an intensive Columbine overview. Some of the issues he raises and information he digs up go unnoticed by Mr. Cullen.” –Janet Maslin, New York Times

“A decade after the most dramatic school massacre in American history, Jeff Kass applies his considerable reporting talents to exploring the mystery of how two teens could have planned and carried out such gruesome acts without their own family and best friends knowing about it. Actually, there were important clues, but they were missed or downgraded both by those who knew the boys best and by public officials who came in contact with them. An engrossing and cautionary tale for everyone who cares about how to prevent kids from going bad.” —–Ted Gest, President, Criminal Justice Journalists

Thanks for taking the time to comment, Starviego. Have you read the Cullen book? I’d say he does a fairly good job of addressing the discrepancies in various eyewitness reports. The page you link to seems to be a lot like an old, long discredited conspiracy theory to me.

If additional shooters are/were being covered up, then I suppose the question would be: Why?

Interested in your thoughts…

You are still being lied to. Big time. If you want to find out what really happened at Columbine I suggest you read what the eyewitnesses had to say:

Really enjoyed this piece. Has a classic gothic horror story tone, which I love.

I love how this played out, I really do. It’s hugely enjoyable to see a character’s story run from the very first day of his life to the very last (or is it? haha.) – in such a relatively short piece. Fantastic. The final image is very affecting. I notice you’ve relented a touch in terms your imagery – I’m referring to ‘the Barbara incident’. I expected you get a bit darker there, but I suppose the lunacy of the situation wouldn’t allow you to make the scene more horrific, and of course you were saving the ‘total consumption’ for the ending. Weaving the story with real-life legend was very smart as well, and strangely funny. Love the ‘Nessie’s nephew’ bit, haha!
