#215 The Texas Tower Sniper

“I don't quite understand what it is that compels me to type this letter. Perhaps it is to leave some vague reason for the actions I have recently performed. I do not really understand myself these days. I am supposed to be an average, reasonable and intelligent young man. However, lately (I cannot recall when it started) I have been a victim of many unusual and irrational thoughts.”

“I intend to kill Kathy. I love her very much, I intend to kill my wife after I pick her up from work. I don't want her to face the embarrassment that my actions will surely cause…I am prepared to die”

Signed, -Charles Whitman Jr
