#215 The Texas Tower Sniper


Listen Later

“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
