"What's amazing is how much of Cullen's book still comes as a surprise . . . [Cullen's] nuanced dissection of the differences between Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold is first-rate."

The Rest of the Story
on this site

The sheer size of the Columbine evidence is overwhelming. And most of the early reporting on why it happened was wrong.

I culled through thousands of police files, pictures, journals, videos, interviews, 911 calls, crime scene photos, etc. As I organized the information, I decided to share my research online.

For this site, I compiled the most significant evidence and tried to make it easy to find. I hope this helps you navigate the maze of myths, distortions and the truth. Good luck on your search.

Profiles of the killers

These are the best profiles/biographies of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.

The first, by Lynn Bartels is truly a standout. Alan Prendergast provides a thorough, textured portrait.

These were based on information revealed the first few months, so they don't include insights from the tapes, journals, etc. But as far as backgrounds on the two boys, they are excellent.

The Jeffco report also does a nice concise summary of basic information:
