True Detective  |  True Detective April 2019
In April 1999 two disaffected schoolboys, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, went on a horrific shooting rampage at Columbine High School, Colorado. April 20th, the date of their infamous killing spree, was surely of significance to the 18-year-old “Trenchcoat Mafia” perpetrators, whose actions left the US and the wider world aghast. The pair, who would sometimes wear swastikas on their T-shirts, struck on the date that marked Nazi leader Adolf Hitler’s birthday.
They intended to blow up the school and murder hundreds of their fellow-students. In the end, their plans were thwarted and a smaller-scale massacre ensued which claimed the lives of a dozen students, a teacher and the killers themselves. In “The Curse Of Columbine” in this issue, we look at the events of that terrible day – and the “collateral damage” it left in its wake.
Horrific acts of violence often leave us wondering why the perpetrators acted as they did. In the case of family-killer Chris Watts, the question “Why Did He Do It?” seems particularly apt. To the outside world Watts seemed to have everything. But scratch beneath the surface of the idealised social media posts and all was very far from what it seemed. Read this issue for the full story.
Highlights of this issue include:
* Why Did He Do It?
* Crimes That Made The Headlines: How Many Victims For Sweeney The Scalphunter?
* The Curse Of Columbine
