We’re only 25 miles from Virginia Tech, and this isn’t supposed to happen in our quiet little corner of the world.  It’s painfully obvious that no matter how deep into the woods we go, we can’t ever be guaranteed that something like this will not happen to us.  Why would someone do this?  Maybe, the killer’s note will reveal some clues.  If he planned to kill himself why not just go ahead and do it?  Why was it necessary to take 32 people with him?
