robyn anderson, infamous date and gun buyer of dylan klebold
although they were never romantically involved with one another, robyn anderson and dylan klebold were notably close. this would later prove to be the case when dylan took robyn to prom as his date, but only as a friend.
klebold and anderson posing for both the 'serious' and 'silly' class of 1999 group photos.
according to sue klebold in her book a mother's reckoning, dylan met robyn in calculus, which he was failing at the end of his life. the two studied the subject together and sue described robyn as "a very sweet girl." robyn stated dylan oftentimes fell asleep in this class and they would make fun of the teacher's high-pitched voice, but that dylan would never say anything mean to or about him.
the two were in the same composition college bound class, too, in which classmate veronica jones claimed robyn did not in fact wear a trench coatādespite rumored to have been a member of the trench coat mafiaābut instead dressed in baggier attire. she also stated that anderson would verbally argue with her on a regular basis.
they'd rent movies to watch at dylan's house where robyn was a frequently visitor, make weekend plans when robyn stopped by his work, call at least three times per week, go bowling, and play pool together.
most infamously to happen in their friendship was their date to prom. robyn was the one to ask dylan to go with her. he questioned what day it would be on, presumably since the massacre would take place not too far from the event. his parents gave him a hundred bucks toward the night out. with the formal dance taking place at the denver design center, robyn would describe dylan as having been "very gentlemanly" to her throughout their evening together.
dylan and robyn dressed up together at the formal dance.
tiffany burk, robyn's best friend, says she'd told her that her and dylan "had a wonderful time." she also said that, "they were incredibly kind to one another. dylan had tons and tons of respect for robyn. she was someone who he confided in."
transcription: so finally i convinced my friend dylan, who hates dances, jocks and has never had a date let alone a girifriend to go with me! i am either really cute or just really persuasive!
an unreleased home video filmed by dylan's father shows robyn putting the pink rosebud boutonniere on dylan's tuxedo for him. when he notices his father holding a camcorder pointed right at them, dylan comments, "dad, why are you filming this? well, someday i'll watch it again, and i'll wonder what i was thinking."
jessica hughes, one of the ten others to accompany the pair on their limo ride to the venue, says of them, "they were holding hands and stuff . . . they were pretending to light themselves on fire." robyn told her that dylan had complimented her on the dress she'd worn and called her beautiful. that night, following the after party, robyn drove dylan home. the girl was his ride to and from each event.
"he was in a really great mood that night," recalls a second limo rider, monica schuster.
there is a brief scene in one of the final basement tapes where dylan speaks directly to the girl, telling her, "robyn, i didnāt really want to go to prom. but since i'm going to be dying, i thought i might do something cool."
the last time she saw dylan, robyn says, she had been heading to class after calculus when she spotted him and their mutual friend joe walking down the hall. she'd tell investigators there was "not really" anything which appeared different about him, but did mention he was "kind of quiet." additionally, she'd follow up by explaining dylan was not a morning person and it was regular for him to not be very talkative.
on april 20th, robyn had wanted to find eric so she could give him the t-shirt she got him, likely as a late gift for his eighteenth birthday which had been a little over a week prior, but never got the chance. when the shooting started, the girl had been on her way out of the building to her car to go out for lunch. she hid under a seat in her car upon hearing gunfire and stayed inside the vehicle until it stopped.
soon after the shooting, it was revealed by officials that three of gunsāthe shotguns and hi-point 9mm carbineāwere purchased by anderson, who had turned eighteen not long beforehand.
in january of the following year, robyn gave her testimony to the house judiciary committee, sharing in her written statement, "they bought guns from three sellers. they were all private. they paid cash. there was no receipt. i was not asked any questions at all. there was no background check. all i had to do was show my driverās license to prove that i was 18."
because she came forward and testified and did not purchase any handguns (which were unlawful for minors to purchase and posses or have given to them by someone of legal age who'd knowingly bought purchased the gun for them) for eric and dylan who'd been underage at the time, no criminal charges were filed against anderson. however, she did agree to pay $300,000 for a settlement fund that went toward the families of three dozen families.
this is the last time robyn's name was brought up in the media in the aftermath of the killings her two friends meticulously carried out.
today, she is reportedly married and has since changed her last name and become a teacher.

Footage of Darrell Scott trying to find Rachel at Leawood Elementary on the day of the massacre.
āI rushed outside and there was this little fence right outside the school. I remember climbing on that fence, trying to look inside the bus windows as the buses pulled up. At one point, I actually thought I saw her and my heart was pounding.. It was just momentary because I realized it wasnāt her.Ā
I canāt even begin to describe the feeling when the last student walked off that bus, and there was no one left to get off, and Rachel wasnāt there.ā
Patrick Ireland was a junior at Columbine High School in 1999. On April 20, 1999, Patrick spent lunch in the library with a few friends - Dan Steepleton, Austin Eubanks, Corey DePooter and Makai Hall - when the shots rang out. When instructed to get under the tables by teacher Patti Nielson, he ducked under with Dan and Makai.
When the shooters entered, one of them yelled, āAnyone with a white hat stand up!ā and he removed his, despite not knowing what color it was. His eyes closed, he listened to multiple gun shots ring in the room, and didnāt open them until he heard Makai groan due to a gunshot wound to the knee. Patrick attempted to stop the bleeding when he suddenly blacked out - that was when he was shot in the head and later in his right foot.
Later, Patrick regained consciousness and decided to evacuate. He realized he couldnāt move his right leg or right arm, and crawled his way to the library window to escape. Because he was coming in and out of consciousness, it took him a long time.
He got to the window, and remembers SWAT members telling him to stand still until they were ready to catch him - he didnāt, despite remembering doing so. But, they managed to catch him as he fell from the window in front of millions who were watching live on television. Had he not made it to the window, Patrick more than likely would not have survived his injuries.
At the hospital, they discovered that his speech and motor skills were greatly affected by the gunshot wound, at first barely speaking anything but gibberish and was not expected to walk again. However, Patrick has made a near-complete recovery, walking and all. Sometimes he still struggles to find the words, but he can do it.
He returned to Columbine and graduated the next year as co-valedictorian. Patrick is married now and living a happy life.Ā
Clmbn memorial photos | plans, blueprints and old photos
I was bored so i was searching trough web archive, when I found this site (clmbnmemorial.org)
I personally never seen these pictures before, despite that I'm into the whole case for a quite some time now
Building of the memorial:
Opening the memorial, 2007:
volunteers at the memorial:
In case I covered their faces lol. In later years, the admins added the tab where they were describing that they need volunteers because of some small things like pruning shrubs, but also with removing graffiti
More photos:
On other site, someone wrote a song about Columbine and he sold the CD with it, in order to gain money for victim's parents

āWe did make a conscious choice to forgive. Forgiveness is a process of healing.Ā It doesnāt matter to the boys if we practice forgiveness.But if you arenāt able to forgive it creates a life sentence for you. It locks you down to that moment in time when you were violated, when you were hurt.Ā For Rachel it was a life sentence. It was over. I choose not to make it my life sentence by letting go of those boys. Forgiveness is me saying, what you did to me is not okay but I choose to forgive you because Iām not going to live in the pain of that for the rest of my life. Youāre not going to control me because Iām not going to let what you did to me define me for the rest of my days.ā
Prior diagnosis: none
Treatment received?: Dylan never was medicated for any mental health related issues. He went to family counseling after his brother was kicked out for smoking weed, but this is not going to personally help Dylan most likely.
Obvious signs (to other people): weight loss, anger, loneliness, criminal history, excessive drinking, etc.
Theorized mental health issues for Dylan:
Major Depressive Disorder (widely agreed upon)
Anorexia (due to excessive weight loss and prior comments about thinking he was "fat")
Schizotypal Personality Disorder (initially suspected by Dr. Langman; widely agreed with (I agree with this one))
Signs of Dylan's deteriorating mental health (click to continue!)
Delusions
Dylan, unknowingly, seemed to experience quite a few delusions. But he did not view them as this (clearly). Experiencing delusions would line up mostly with bipolar 2 disorder and schizotypal personality disorder.
Dylan referred to himself in a third person standpoint. He seemingly believed he was not himself and had some out-of-body entity controlling him (in a way). Dylan also crossed out his own name once and instead wrote, "Me," as if he was not himself. He also claims multiple times that he doesn't have the same human nature as "Dylan".
"When Dylan Benet Klebold got covered up by this entity containing Dylan's body..."
"I lack the true human nature that Dylan owned." (Dylan Klebold, 1997)
"Does that make me a non-human?Ā YES."
Constant thoughts of suicide
It is no secret Dylan wrote about ending his own life constantly over the span of multiple years. In fact, this is partially why people tend to ignorantly focus on him solely being suicidal.
Dylan, obviously, ended his life by a gunshot wound to the side of the head. In his journals, Dylan consistently mentions suicide in nearly every single page. His is clearly a sign that something wasn't okay.
"OOOh god I HATE my life; I want to die really bad right now."
"true true I hate everything. why can't I die..."
"No emotions. not caring. yet another stage in this shit life. suicide... Dylan Klebold."
"Wanna die & be free w. my love... if she even exists."
"If by fate's choice,Ā [edited]Ā didn't love me, id slit my wrist & blow-up Atlanta strapped to my neck."
Thoughts and plans of homicide prior to 4/20
Prior to Eric ever mentioning NBK or committing murder, Dylan brings up killing people dating back to 1997. In fact, it's implied he had the original plan for their attack.
Dylan directly mentions committing a mass murder dating back to 11/03/97, where he mentions obtaining a firearm and going on a killing spree. He also later mentions "going NBK" later with someone who was not Eric.
"[edited]Ā will get me a gun, I'll go on my killing spree against anyone I want."
"Soon... either ill commit suicide, or I'll get w.Ā [edited]Ā & it will be NBK for us."
"Society is tightening its grip on me, & soon I &Ā [edited]Ā will snap, he will have on revenge on society." (implied)
Constantly feeling outcasted or different from other people
Dylan often discusses himself as if he's "the odd one out." He discusses feeling different from everyone else around him, as if he's displaced.
Dylan consistently discusses feeling different from most people. This actually might relate back to his belief of having a connected "spiritual entity". This trait is common in those with StPD. I've seen various schizotypal people discuss feeling almost as if they're not human because of how different they feel as if they're purely just an existence.
"People are alike, I am different - Dylan"
"Yo.... whassup... heehehehe...Know what'sĀ whiĀ wierd? Everyone knows everyone. I swear, like im an outcast,"
"As I see the people at school - some good, some bad - I see how different I am (aren't we all you'll say) yet I'm on such a greater scale of difference."
"Nobody accepting me even though I want to be accepted."
Suspiciousness of others/a belief others are purposely conspiring against him
Dylan showed very obvious signs of paranoia and signs of distrust in other people.
Dylan discusses feeling as if others purposely treated him as if he was lesser than them. He also, somewhat, expresses this when discussing his friends.
"I don't know what I do wrong with people (mainly women) - it's like they all set out to hate & ignore me."
"Everyone knows everyone. I swear, like I'm an outcast, & everyone is conspiring against me...."
Consistent feelings of abandonment and loneliness
Dylan clearly mentions multiple times he feels as if people have abandoned him and that he feels as if he has no one.
Dylan obviously had people, but he internally felt as if he did not. He even mentions girls making him feel this way despite them not even knowing him.
"The possible abandonment, persecution is not something I want to face, yet it is so primitive to me."
"I'm here, STILL alone, still in pain."
"All people I ever might have loved have abandoned me; my parents piss me off & hate me..."
"I have no money, no happiness, no friends... Eric will be getting farther away soon... I'll have less than nothing..."
"Everyone moves up I always stayed. Abandonment."
"I want to die sooo bad... such a sad, desolate, lonely, unsalvageable I feel I am..... not fair, NOT FAIR!!!!"
"I helped them both out thru life, & they left me in the abyss of suffering."
"Ever since 7th grade, I've felt lonely..."
Delusions of grandiosity or godliness
Despite Dylan seeming self-loathing, he actually seemed to have either some sort of superiority complex or God complex.
Dylan refers to himself as God multiple times and calls himself godlike. He speaks of other people as if they're below him in every way possible, often referring to them as zombies. This is also, clearly, a sign of a delusion. These could also line up with bipolar disorder and StPD.
"The zombies & their society band together & try to destroy what is superior & what they don't understand & are afraid of."
"OnlyĀ for the gods though (me,Ā [edited]Ā & etc.)"
"I am GoD.Ā [edited]Ā is GoD. & zombies will pay for their arrogance, hate, fear, abandonment, & distrust."
"Soon we will live in the halcyons of our minds, the one thing that made me a god."
"I UNDERSTAND THE EVERYTHING, I AM THE GOD OF THE EVERYTHING W.Ā [edited]!"
Other notable signs:
Constant feelings of sadness, frustration, or anger.
Excessive usage of alcohol (to the point where it was notable to friends).
Seemingly against treatment and receiving mental health help. He denied his mother's attempts and stated on his diversion report that he did not see it as necessary.
Physically harming other people prior to the attack.
Mentions of self-harm, specifically cutting himself.
My personal takeaway (opinion):
I personally believe Dylan Klebold has StPD along with MDD or bipolar disorder. I believe Dylan had a superiority complex while also feeling constantly inferior to other people, similar to Eric's writings.
I personally believe people like Dylan are actually the ones you have to look out for over people like Eric. Eric was outwardly expressing homicidal thoughts, admitted to feeling suicidal, and expressed anger constantly (seemingly this was a cry for help). But Dylan internalized his for the most part and even refused help from people. This is why so many people were shocked Dylan was involved, not Eric. This is why so many people believed he was manipulated. Dylan hid his homicidal thoughts and suicidal tendencies well.
People tend to list traits of Dylan as if they were solely traits of him, all while Eric had the same traits. Both were deeply insecure, struggled with depression, had a temper, felt suicidal, felt homicidal, felt lonely, and felt outcasted.
Eric is seemingly framed as more violent because he expresses his ideologies more outwardly and doesn't shy away in his journals from expressing hatred. But I honestly do not believe a lot of things Eric says. This is because he knew people would read his journals (starting off sentences with somewhat of a "to whoever is reading this," sort of ordeal). Why wouldn't the guy who felt lonely and inferior his entire life try to frame himself as a psychopathic, fascist murder-machine? That would make people scared of him, not see him for what he truly was: a deeply insecure guy with anger issues who is constantly teased and bullied, leading to intense feelings of inferiority and loneliness.
Like guys, Dylan literally thought an external force kept other people from opening his journals...
Anyways, I hope this summary was okay! I can do other people if wanted!!

āEric David Harris,
I didnāt know the person hiding under your smile. I didnāt know about the pain you carried in your heart. I didnāt know the torture you endured for so long. And I didnāt want to believe you were capable of such destruction. I didnāt know I could feel such pain for someone I really didnāt know. If I knew what your eyes hid, and what your mind was screaming, maybe I could have helped you. I could have loved you. All I know is the pain I am feeling inside. All I know is the person I talked to everyday, the person who seemed happy, the person who always helped me and made sure I had everything I needed. I see your picture on the pages, they say what a monster you are, they say how you were mean and cruel. But you see, I canāt believe what they say. I knew the smiling person, the person who helped me. I donāt want to hear it anymore. I want it to go away, the angry cries well up in me and I hate you for making me so scared and sad. Leaving me without any explanation. Leaving me with wandering thoughts and hollow cries. Did you try and reach me? Did you try to tell me? I will live with the memories and the unanswered questions I hold in my heart. Not a day will go by that I will not wonder why. As times goes by, I am getting stronger, but then the moment comes when I break down and cry. I am so sorry I didnāt see the rage you had inside. I am sorry I was so blind and couldnāt see all the things you tried to show me. No matter how wrong you were, I will love the person who smiled and said āHiā to me everyday. I promise to never forget the person I knew, and forget the person they say you were.
Love Always and Forever,
Susan DeWittā
