Text Message Log
Suspect: stop what you’re doing, look under my computer keyboard.
Upon checking below the device, a written statement was located that reportedly read: "I was given the chance to take out the figure and I intend to do it."
Roommate: "What?????????????? This is a joke, right????
Accused: I’m unharmed sweetheart, but am stuck in orem for a little while longer. Soon enough before I return, though I must get my gun first. Honestly I had hoped to keep this secret through my life. I am sorry for dragging you in.
Roommate: you weren't the one carried it out right????
Suspect: Yes, I'm sorry
Housemate: It was my understanding they detained the suspect?
Accused: negative, they apprehended an unstable elderly man, then questioned a person wearing alike attire. I had planned to get my gun where I left it not long later, however much of the region became restricted. Things are silent, almost enough to escape, but theres one vehicle lingering.
Witness: What for?
Accused: Why would I act?
Roommate: Yes
Individual: I had enough of the negativity. Specific malice is not negotiated out.
Accused: Assuming I can retrieve my weapon undetected, it would leave no evidence. Planning to try to retrieve it again, perhaps authorities left the area. I did not notice anything about it being located.
Roommate: How long did you planning this?
Suspect: a bit over one week in my estimation. I can get close to it however, there remains a police vehicle positioned close. I believe authorities checked the area, however, I cannot wanna chance it.
Suspect: I am disappointed that I returned and taken it as soon as I got to my vehicle.... It troubles me what my old man would do if I didn't return the inherited gun ... idek if it had an identification code, though it may not connect with me. I am anxious regarding prints I had to leave the item in shrubs where I changed clothing. didn't have the opportunity or moment to bring it with.... I might have to abandon it and wish it is not discovered fingerprints. how ever can I justify its loss to my father....
the sole item I abandoned was the rifle wrapped in a towel....
recall when I etched bullets? These texts are largely a big meme, should I notice "notices bulge uwu" on fox new I might have a shock okay, I will let it go, that is unfortunate.... based on this day it seems the inherited weapon does just fine idk. I think that could have been an expensive sight;-;
Suspect: delete this exchange
Accused: my dad wants photos of the weapon ... he says grandpa is curious regarding possession, federal agents released a photo of the weapon, which is quite distinct. Dad is phoning rn, not responding.
Accused: since trump assumed power my father became pretty diehard maga.
Suspect: I intend to turn myself in without resistance, a nearby resident is actually a official in the department.
Individual: you are all I worry about dear
Witness: I am considerably anxious regarding you
Individual: refrain from contacting the media I ask. don't take conversations or provide statements. ... if any police inquire demand legal counsel and say nothing
