Again an old case (it seems lately I have read a lot of old case tc books) but I thought it an interesting read and not boring.

“I remember going to kitchen and grabed a butcher knife.This was a well written true crime book. “Everything happen so fast,” Carlson wrote. I remember being full of rage at the way all my classmates were laughin at me, and the damage my parents room was in and how my dad was going to whip up on me after they found out about the party I threw." (Carlson had thrown a small party while his parents were in Reno that week and it had ended up being a disaster.) ''Carlson wrote that he remembered "looking out my window and seeing someone walking on the dirt pathway, in the field that was across the street from my house. She was taking a shortcut home from school, on foot because a group of girls had been bullying her on the schoolbus - and the day she was killed those same girls had reportedly thrown rocks at her, and threatened violence.'' He was freed by a wood-shop teacher, and he says he spotted Tina Faelz walking home after he'd returned home to drink by himself.įaelz, as the Chronicle reported via information that came out in Carlson's trial six years ago, was herself a victim of bullying, and that victimhood led her path to cross Carlson's that day. He had just earlier that day been traumatized when a group of football players at Foothill High beat him up and tossed him in a dumpster, locking him inside with food and garbage and flipping it over. ''Now 52, Carlson was just a troubled 16-year-old who attended the same high school as Faelz when he randomly stabbed her to death in a culvert outside his home on Lemonwood Way.
