NEW YORK (Reuters) — The Florida teenager whose purported fascination with the 1999 Columbine school massacre sparked a massive hunt for her this week appears to have kept an online journal peppered with violent imagery and awash in despair, anger and suicidal thoughts.
An online journal written by someone who identified herself as “Sol Pais” — the teenager who authorities said was found dead on Wednesday — included entries that alluded to “plans” that would lead to the author’s death, though they did not describe specific threats against others.
Law enforcement has not confirmed Pais is the author of the journal.
“Being alive is fucking overrated,” one entry reads, above a drawing of a handgun going off with the word “ready?” underneath.
