atchinson had allready killed himself he left behind a note , hinting this could have been worse writing ” he would hold a class hostage “
back in march of 2016 the FBI interviewed atchinson after he appeared to make a threat about a mass shooting online.
William Edward ” bill” Atchon.
When a troubled, to put it lightly, young man was bullied in school, he spent the next several years becoming more and more edgy online.
We can see a long record of his online activity that shows the downfall of a young man and the birth of a deranged mass killer.
we can see a long record of his online activity that shows the downfall of a young man and the birth of a deranged mass killer……
we are going to be doing a deep dive into a school shooter’s gradual descent into madness.
we can see his going from being a sad lonely bullied kid wanting to be a hero to wanting to be the killer himself
leaving a mountain of online activity behind we can really start to see when the first change occurs, let’s look into exactly what makes a young man go down this path in the first place
william “bill” Atchison was born on march 18th of 1996 Belen, New Mexico
the younger of two sons, according to william himself his childhood was very rough due to his home life and his violent father in his own words he said ;
my life was ruined once my shit head dad beat up my mom and abruptly forced us to move to the middle of nowhere, i went from an A + to a flunky contemplating ending ending it all at age 10, moved to this town in 2005 after divorce , dad was really abusiv physically and psychologically
my only ally was my 3 friends at school,they fucked with me all the time , i was a sad kid my life was tolerable for a bit but became horrible”
our story begins in a small town in northwest new mexico called Aztec, right up there near the Navajo Nation ,this is where william and his family ultimately moved.
it’s a place mostly known for its oil and natural gas deposites being 3 hours away from Albuquerque.
the town only has a population of roughly 6,500 people in total , william was not a fan of living in such a small town ,something that he would come to make very clear throughout his writings
not all of williams’s problems came from his environment or the people around him , he had also a good amount of internal personal turmoil from a very young age he had an anger problem , something he had gladly spoken of himself on multiple occasions.
he spoke about tearing up his toys and video games when he was as young as 9 years old trowing them at the wall in a rage whenever he would lose a game.
eventually william would go on to attend Aztec high school where his life would only get worse according to his father william was bullied quite a bit in school
on one occasion much worse than the others he was attacked during a welding class ,william later said that he was stabbed in this incident, although it isn’t known to what extent the damage was .
if it really was a stabbing,it couldn’t have been too bad as he returned to school shortly after, there were some class mates that did try to befriend him
a friend named tanner leblanc would later tell the media:
when william was in class , no one would ever talk to him “
adding that bill was shy but fairly nice and smiled a lot,however he did have a stutter and began to wear a long dark trench coat to school most of the time , something that often got him made fun of just that much more
2oo9
he would begin writing out his thoughts online fantasizing about having power,he posted about how he would behave if he were able to become a god .
as a god,it would be my responsibility not to destroy the universal balance,thus i’m unable to just appear instantly,i would need to” convert” them to being open-minded about other gods and then i will appear, i will give out my three main rules,one do not harm any living thing if you break this rule i will break your skull,tw0 , do not act in violence of any form,three , don’t be a stuffhead”
however , despite his ideal rules involving no harm and no violence william often fantasized about violence himself to a gruesome extent that very same year he also wrote of his hatred for his mother saying ;
i am going to grab a knife and shove it in the neck of my mother , i will then drag her dead body by the trash can, drain her blood and then finally cut her and grind her up into little pieces, i will eat some of hose pieces, and then i will probably barf i will throw her body away in the trash can .
i will then go slaugter sacred animals to appease the gods hail satan,i am agnostic, not satanist “
it doesnt stop there either ,it ‘ll only gets much more worse…shortly after he wrote an even more concerning statement online, this time as an insult to a female reader,once again dipping into power fantasy territory he wrote ;
i will rape your hot loving sister and then strangle her with her own hair,then i will sneak into your parent’s room and slaughter them,i will slowly walk to your room holding my bloodthirsty knife in my right hand.
i walk into your room when i see that you’re making out with yourself,i will grab you , tie you to your own bed with your own hair and super glue it shut.
my bloodthirsty crave is not over,i finally rip your hair out and you experience excruciating pain , so painful that you scream and scream, but it can’t stip! i ripped out the skin of your head ,blood is droping everywhere
finally i pluck your eyes right out with my knife and throw them down …i then cut your neck off and the arms and legs, only the torso remains
i cut off the gentles and i stab the stomach repeatedly , i finally finish off by ripping out your heart and consuming it … nah JK “
well this all seems very shocking on the surface that last JK is that really telling, william really enjoyed being an online troll something he wholeheartedly admitted himself on multiple occasions
it’s no secret that online trolls often take out their frustrations on other people over the internet as they couldn’t really do it in person ,william was one of these people and he comletely owned up to it ,he didn’t try to hide it at all , in fact when asked what being a troll was he said …
the shortest i can describe trolls , trolls ar basically young teenagers who bully online to get a rise because they have a personality disorder and want to cover up the hole that real bullies left in their emotion”
2010
william’s mental state was starting to take a toll on his body as well , he became anorexic refusing to eat more than the bare minimum and losing a lot of weight
then he discovered marijuana and started using it more frequently giving him the appetite to but back on somuch weight that he actually overcorrected in the other direction and became obese
then he abruptly stopped smoking and cut out soda and lost about 20 lbs
william tried to get a job at Mc Donald’s in 2011 when he was 15 years old,he succeeded and he got to the point where he made about $ 1,000 before he decided to bail out and never come back.
after that he started working at a safeway but he got laid off after a few months.
he then attempted further work by helping out a couple for computer shops but neither of shops were successful and both of them closed down after not too long.
his motivation to work was getting lower and lower,later on in high shool in 1012 william started showing up to school with self harm marks ,namely burns onhis arms
that same year william ran into trouble with the police for the first time
this was when his neighbor would come to call the cops on him twice .once for firing an airsoft gun at their dogs and again when he left some weed on their property
got into an argument with the homeowner about it an threatened to shoot him,after this , the neighbors refused to let their sons hang out with william any longer
by now associates would say that william spent the bulk of his time inside and alone adding that virtually everyone bullied him
william become obsessed with mass shooters, mainly school shooters ,in march of that year he used a whiteboard in class to write out a timeline of the columbine high school massacre
because of this he was suspended and asked to see a counselor and a psychologist
the truth was ,william had been seeing counselors for years and nothing had really come of it he tried seeing this new counselor a few times but in the end…..
he never came back to school after his suspension, he decided to drop out of school that summer he tried to get a GED but it doesn’t seem that he was ever successful in that endeavor.
william had a few ideas for the future , when asked what he would like to do ,he said
my dream job would have to involve synthesizing pure LSD legally and selling it to the right kind of people who wouldn’t abuse it , i will living in a basement pretty soon once i finish moving in with my bro
and once my dad’s put 6 ft under i can use that inheritance to move the hell out of the heart of the sothwest and move to one of the few places in america that doesn’t suck “
however less optimistically he also wrote ;
i dont know what i’ll be up to in 2022 or 2023, i could be dead for all i know”
adding that he had major depression was unable to feel joy, had intense levels sadistic desires and various addictions
he said that he was now 5’7 and weighed less than 120 lb ,however,he started to feel that he was coming to find some coping mechanisms though
in fact he felt that he could probably help some other people learn to deal with their problems too, he wrote;
if i go a few days without jacking off , i get severe depression,masturbation ,drugs and happy ,cheerful things are the only things combating my major depression
if i found an internet user talking about their depreswsion or talking about suicide i’ try to befriend them andget them out of that pit of darkness
i’ve been through that hell countless times in my life and i’ve discovered techniques you can use to snap out of it “
when it came to his obsession with school shootings at this time in his life ,he seemed to fantasize about being some sort of hero during these situations, he often whished he could go back in time saying things like ;
i ‘g back in time and stop a lot of the school shooting such as columbine or or V-Tech by being positive influence spreading hope in the minds of shooters and keep them on a path of enlightenment “
however , his desire to stop those sort of situations would gradually come to change over time..
william feeling very alone and desperate took the websites like live joural to find someone who could help him out ,give him some advice at the very least
on a website called think atheist, somewhat of a blog posting website ,he wrote avery long post detailing about how he felt at the time
some highlights of these posts read as such …..
while it was very evident that he had his own probems within he had to vent his frustrations about his family as well
it vecame very clear that he wasn’t too keen on them whatsoever if it wasn’t already clear by this point.
he ended by saying
in the end over 230 people viewed the post , not one single person replied
it seems that due to the way his family mainly his father actedwilliam came to hate the United states as a hole.
despite never really leaving his very small town ,he said;
like a lot of people online who freqeunted places
like 4chan, encyclopedia dramatica and kiwi farms, william began to harbor a fairly intense hatred for women althoug it isn’t really clear why
until this point it seems that he had many more bad experiences with men then women .
nevertheless he felt how he felt ,for example , he stated;
while that quote in itself isn’t too bad, on another occasion he wrote ;
given how he gelt about both america and women you can imagine that william hated nothing more than the combination of the two, american women saying ;
becoming more and more active online and looking into the mass shootings he took so mujch interest in ,william came to find entertainment in famous killers at least and maybe even admire him at the most
specifically he liked both Elliot roger and Adam Lanza ,stating;
in fact he came to compare himself to elliot roger,likely half jokingly saying;
eventually he seems to have been inspired by these killers
coming to his own conclusions writing;
now thoroughly corrupted william continued his journey all over the internet ,he gradually went from only following and reading to making posts of his own,becoming quite known in some small circles.
it was around this time that william’s father and brother could constantly hear red pill and Neo-Nazi content streaming from his room .
william decided to tattooo swastic on his body and drive even deeper into white supremacist content from this point onwards.
he took to sites like 4chan and kiwi farms to post content relative to his views
with this profile picture on kiwi farms being a screenshot of edward norton
in american history x
while he had once fantasized being the hero who stopped school shootings over time william had gradually come to admire the killers instead
while he felt that a lot of the shooters out there were lame,he took a liking to Eric and Dylan from columbine in particular,he told other forum user;
admiring the impacct that they had on society and the moral panic they caused
he looked up to them because they were bullied, but he did say that the victims they chose were owed some attention as they were innocent.
on halloween ,william even dressed up as a school shooter,specifically Dylan Klebod sporting his signature trench coat ,rounded sunglasses,boots and even carrying a model of his tech 9 gun
he also wore a t-shirt similar to dylan’s although it said math instead of wrath , most likely so that he could say that he was only trolling.
william once again tried to go out there and get some work getting a job at a local Giant gas station near his house ,having no transportation he walked to work back and forth each day .
he hated this job ,the costumers,in particular and took to the internet to went his frustrations.
william began to post a lot of pro- Hitler content,becoming very active on websites like …
and also becoming quite a big fan of donald trump, he would often be criticzied for posting about his love for trump on the websites he frequented being told that his posts were basically
Quote ; shitty facebook commentaries.
he wa also heavily critized for often stating his love for the columbine high massacre
still though eventually he worked his way up to becoming a moderator on encyckopedia dramatica website infamous for its relentless bullying of online personalities
users on these website began to know who he was
seeing that he fit the image of a budding mass killer pretty perfectly with many of them often asking him so how’s the manifesto going in just.
2016
williams was in direct active communication with an 18 -year old Iranian german man named David Sonboly , the two of tem were active in a steam chat group called the anti- refugee club
in this group the members would idolize killers and express their hatred for jews, migrants,refugees and basically anyone not white .
they spoke about their intrest in weapons and mass killings and often played county -strike together wich william was now playing for about 10 hours a day
alot of members of that group felt that their banter was manly satire but it’s fairly evident that bill and david took it pretty seriously
david would later go on commit a mass shooting in munich later that year ,killing 9 people and injuring 36 before ultimately turning the gun on his self.
after the shooting william went over to encyclopedia dramatic to post about his admiration what david had done calling him a true aryan and true german .
william took also admiration for another friend online, a 15 year old named carter boyles who had interest very similar to his own,like bill carteer was very intersting in shhotings and posted videos online related to them
his final upload was a YouTube video showing a walkthrough of his chool
carter actually came to walk into his own school and end his own life via gunshot something that saddened william greatly
william once again to to encyclopedia dramatica to write about him ,writing under the name Al Gore he he said ;
other users still felt that william was mainly trolling sterzing or just joking with most of his messages
one later wrote;
however the FBI didn’t agree… after william posted a comment on steam asking where he could get a cheap assault rifle to commit a shooting
The FBI cam out to his home in march of 2016 and interviewed him and his family .
at first they wer under the impression that willian’s older brother had made the comment before finding out wh actually wrote it.
william once again told them that he was only trolling and venting his frustrations, feeling that he was harmless, seing that he had no criminal record and surprisedat how cooperative he was , the FBI seeemed to believe him.
when asked for assurance ,william told the FBI to put him on watch list if they like
he told the FBI that he had no plans to kill anyone and they tool ho, at face value closing the case and simply leaving.
they never put william on any sort of watch list and never notified the local schools of what he had written.
william cam to laugh about the visit from the FBI on his YouTube account where he went by vance stone , writing.
the FBI fumbled again by instead of william once again giving william’s brother’s information to the local police departement.
including a sketch of him, his photo and his whereabouts this was never followed up upon or corrected in any way
the police never did anything with the information anyhow getting more depressed william wrote on STEAM
william was eventually banned on YouTube being fairly certain that he was shut down by the jews…not for his mountain of community guideline violations
he began playing a game called blockland.US, a minecrift type game, there he had over 40 different characters,most edgy or offensive in one way or another
he even had a character that he modeled after Elliot Roger along with some made to look like other killers , such as adam lanza and anders breivik.
november 0f 2017 he spoke online of being sexually abused by a man who had given him a ride while he was hitchhiking and mentioned his guilt at having had enjoyed it .
it.s unknow if this actaully , happened or if he was simply trolling once againe given the wording of the message it doesn’t seem like he’s taking it very seriously but it’s hard to tell.
that same month, now 21 year old william went out with his father to buy a gun, they went out to the sportman’s warehouse in farmington where he legally purchased 9 mm semi – automatic along with a 22 caliber rifle.
after he bought the gun his concerned father jokingly told him to never point it at anyone ,even telling him never do a school shooting.
william responded that he knew that he would never do something like that ,either way his father was worried because of his concerning online activity.
by now he could hear both of his sons listening to constant white supremacist content and told them to Quote; stop listening to that shit.
shortly after william and his brother took the two guns out to test them out .
it wasn’t long before william finally expressed his clear intention to perfom a school shooting wihle dresssed up as a student for the first time onlien.
william began to go back to his old high school, Aztec high school to do some surveillance around the property , he was even given a full tour by one of the teachers
he began to play some video games that he felt could better prepare him for doing what he was about to do
shortly after while working at the gas station a couple of police offiers actually came into casual conversation with him saying that they felt nothing out of the ordinary with them .
that same day though , william took to kiwi farms to write his final message online;
” praise be to allah” . trolling until the very end……
December 7th, 2017
william usually working overnight shifts came home at about 6:00 a.m . his father was sitting around when william entered their home .
the two started talking with the father asking how william was doing he said bad because works sucks, he hated both the job and the customers.
specifically noting that nobody but crackheads go to the shop overnight, rhe refused to speak annymore beyond that simply shaking his head and going up to his room.
william’s father didn’t see him again,feeling that he probably just fell asleep as usual.
william in his room wrote out his plans , he wrote a text file and put it onto a thumb drive, it read ;
william then began to write out his plans, which weren’t too sophisticated,the plans consisted of a rough timeline consisting things like ;
work, prep,walk and finally die, he tore up that piece of paper instead writing the same timeline and putting it on his thumb drive
after he collected all of the gear he had amassed over a short time and got ready ,at 7:30 a.m. without his father noticing william left his house and began to walk towards the school.
this was caught on security camera footage allthough there was no footage of the interior of the school.
william entered through the main doors desguised as a student, he was carrying a backpack like any other kid, allthoug his contained his Glock along with several magazines
now that he was inside william needed somwhere to gear up, he walked up the stairs and in to one of the bathrooms on the second floor to take out his gun and get ready .
this was when a student fransisco fernandez who others called paco walked in onhim and caught him in the act.
william panicked likely knowing that francisco would run away and alert the school .
he shot him then and there with fransico falling flat onto his back gon onto the floor of the bathroom
William stepped over him and headed bacl out into the hallways he came across a 17 year old chearleader named casey marquez, taking a drink at the water fountain just outside the bathrooms.
he shot her close range multiple times in the thigh , stomach, chest and even her head ,she collapse to the ground in a fetal position
both a teacher named steve and a custodian named thomas saw it happen with their own eyes
thomas ran away shouting about an active shooter,yelling at the teachers to lock their doors many of the teachers did so with one 74 year old substitute teacher even barricading the door with a couch.
william walked up and down the halls firing shots indiscriminately at nothing in particular
and reloading multiple times
he walked up to different classroom shouting ” i know your’e in there” and firing through the walls,luckily nobody was hit.
thomas , the custodian was able to radio the office and get the whole school into lockdown
it was now 8:11 a.m routhly 1o minutes into the attack and the police was finaly called.
william continued to walk up an down the hallways ,yelling and firing random shots through the walls
the police arrived at the school less than a minute after the call and broke through a window to gain acess
wiliam gave up, he put his gun into his mouth and fired upwards, he fell back against the lockers and then onto the floor.
he was gone before the police even got to him .
many of the students withing the school still had no idea what was happening as it all started and ended so quickly
a lot of them thought that someone was merely going around screaming and punching lockers once the police confirmed that everything was all over,the student was finally allowed to leave..
they walked out through the back of the building and into the parking lot, they were later moved to mgee park to be reunited with their worried families.
after the shooting,member of the small community gathered all around the town in churches , parks and community centers.
they held a candleit vigil for the victims and offered up their prayers, som waved american flags, while some voiced their opinion that teachers should be allowed to have guns to protect their students.
the govenor of new mexico susanna martinez said that the acts of the teachers and the custodian at the school were brave and prevented the situation from getting worse than it already was.
the mayor of the town of Aztec sally burbridge posted her thoughts on facebook shortly after writing;
the FBI arrived on scene a while later and began to gather information
williams father wayne was taken in to be questioned.
wayne had an idea of what had gone down earlier but he didn’t know his son was involved
he was shocked to hear that not only was william the shooter but he was dead ,distraught he continued with the interview asking simple questions to the best of his ability
the police came out to inform the public that the two victims of the shooting were not specifically targeted
they were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time
the san juan county sheriff ken christensen, said that william was Quote; determined to create as much carnage as he possibly could ” saying” that he planned on killing many more”
he added” it’s a shame he wasn’t on our radar, i don’t think he had anything so much as a traffic ticket”
a captain at the sheriff’s office was asked was williams motive might have been to which he responded “i really don’t think he had a motive other than to be afamous in that world, whatever that world that is “
later on , the soutern poverty law center published a report asserting that the white supremacist views that william held were likely the blame for the attack
noting his previous online associates that had committed similar attacks
the police continued to comb through the crime scene as well as williams home to gather their own evidence to come to a conclusion
however even after picking up his scribbles,his thumb drive computer and Xbox.
they didn’t really find much , even when diving into his online writings, he does allude to committing some sort of attack but he doesn’t exactly say why.
they actually siad that they didn’t feel that white supremacy was the motive , allthough the two people william shot before the school went into lockdown were hispanic .
both were simply the only people he saw in the halls before the school went into lockdown
the police said :
the coroner perfomed an autopsy on william and found that he had indeed passed away from a shot to the head
interestingly they also found some pretty concerning symbols drawn onto his body,he had thre previously mentioned swastika along with SS symbols AOG, which means alhp male of group and build wall written on his arms and legs.
he also had oen more reading…..
william’s family had him cremated and scattered his ashes in the gulf of mexico since the attack they haven’t been very vocal.
the sheriff’s office completed their investigation in august of 2018 coming to the conclusion that william didn’t have any accomlish nor did he have any sort of motive.
they did believe that he may have chosen the anniversary of the pearl harbor attack saying that he probably had a realtive that died in that attack
saying that he picked a day that he thought was already infamous to use for his own benefit.
the family of the victm casey marquez ended up filing two wrongful death lawsuit after the attack ,the first was against both the aztec school district and the police departement
it was found that the school had been recommended infrastructure imoprovement such a fence and a funneled entrance that would made attacks like this a lot harder to commit
however the superintendent had dismissed these changes saying that the risk was too low to justify spending that mch money
casey’s mother filed a second wronful death lawsuing suing FEB she claimed that the FBI was negligent when they dismissed william as being no threat despite the mountain of evidence showing otherwise.
she said that the attack would have been stopped if the FBI had taken their treat assessment more seriously, she specifically mentioned williams mental healt issues, his history of being bullied and his his frendschip with David Sonboly, she was seeking unspecified damages for lost value of life, pain and suffering.
in addition to loss of earning capacity ,however theFBI was found to have immunity in their decision and the suti was dissmissed.
casey’s mother faced even more shock when she finally received her daughter’s belonings avter the investigation was over in he rarroeny’s words
infact there were two monsters on the day of the shooting,the shooter as well as JD couldter teacher at the time at the time”
JD coulter or james coulter was one of caseys teachers on the phone her mother found numerous inappropiate blatantly sexual messages from her teacher .
going all way back it was very evident that the two had been in a very secret relationship since fall of 2017,half a year before the shooting.
looking even worse on the school this was not james coulter’s first incident .since being hired as the girls junior varsity basketball coach in 2013, he had numerous inappropriate incidents with female students
his first was only in 2014, shortly after being hired one semester prior in fact he continued tohave allegations placed against him even after the shooting.
to add insult to inury casey was only in the hallway because shehad been in james office somewhere she wasn’t eve supposed be.
it’s only because she was leaving his office that she was where she as at the time she was murdered.
had she not been in this secret relationship she would have been in class with all the other safe kids.
casey’s mother went on to add secual harassment to her original lawsuit against the school, it wasn’t long before james coulter was interviewed by the police and quickly admitted to kissing her and groping her
he descbribed their interactions as hugging kissing casey while she was in her car and the car was parked on AHS grounds
kissing in the classrooms at AHS when they could.massaging casey’s legs while they were in his car.
grabbing and squeesing casey’s buttocks on one occasion when he was in her car and fondling casey’s breast wbhhen they were in her pakred car.
he even admitted that he had relationships with other students some even younger than casey for years now .
this was apparently somewhat of an open secret,casey’s family atorney said
the school did not take the cations necessary to protect their students, instead , they protected their teachers , which is something we would never want to see.”
the principal of Axtec High school strongly recommendethat jamse coulter be terminated from his job for inappropriate conduct and teccting communications with the student.
exploitation and sexual harassment,insteas james resigned himself stating that it was due to the anxiety surrounding the shooting not the allegations .
eventually kames coulter entered a plea agreement in december of 2019 , 2 years after the shooting.
he pled guiltty to fourth- degree criminal sexual assault of a minor.he was setenced to serve probation in order to registre as a sex offender, but he didnt’ face any jail time.
just recently in 2024, the school district finally settled their case paying out $ 2 million in the process, that was $750,000 for wrongful death and 1.2 million for personal injury .
the attack has led to legislators in new mexico adding extra funding for school safety infrastructure namely,the fences and entrances that were neglected bevore
at Axtec specifically the school got a fence and security around the doors is now higher.
there was also a push tofurthe suport, red flag laws and to make school shooting threats a fourth- degree felony about the same level as a bomb threat.
it was debated on whether or not this case was actually an incident of incel violence
while william did seem to admire elliot rodger and there is no doubt he didn’t like women he also didn’t really have anything to do with specific incel communities
and never described hismelf as one he also didn’t seem to complain about a lack of sex
it was later stated that the attack did not fit the pattern of an attack used to furher the incel agenda.
casey’s mother started a non profit program called;
Aztec strong SJC.
this program will award college scholarsships to students in new mexico and colorado. she doesn’t seem topersonally blame william for the shooting, instead she blames the community for letting him down and making him into what he was.
saying that the whole thin was a collected failure.
she said they lost three children that dat and that william was raised by the same community casey was saying:
this whole community lost him”
a criminologist named jillian peterson heavily criticized the FBI after the attack stating ;
they should have and could have done a lot more”
when the FBI asked william see a counselor, they didn’t do any thing to follow up and see if he actually did .
she said that FBI failed to realize that william was in a very serious mental healt crisis and that he was both a a danger to himself and others.
however Katherine Schweit a former FBI official and mass shooting expert said that FBI did a thorough job.
peter langman a counseling psychologist who also studies mass shootings agreed with her .
williams former stomping grounds encyckopedia dramatica put ut a page about william, they used his former screen name satanic drugie as well as his real identity.
they filed him under their hero section
and hero is forchan slang for someone who has taken their own life.
some people on the forum spoke of they remembered about him one user said;
now william is only remembered as yet another american school shooter if people remember him at all
incidents like this one don’t typically make much of a buzz in the media unless they have a higher amount of deaths
there are a lot of cases just like this
one that largely go ignored because there are sadly too many of these cases todiscuss them all
in the end we don’t know exactly why william did what he did for sure, all we know is that he was depressed and angry and admired serial killers .
maybe that’s all the reason he needed, maybe will’ll never know……………………………………………………..
