Sam's elementary school graduation on June 10th, 2021. She can be seen throughout the video in the background, but these are the only times she is the main subject. The whole video is too long to post here in its entirety.

Any other links for Sam photos/info?

crossixir.com It's a little out of date on the photos but it's the most complete public archive, it also has a fact post that I wrote.

It looks like she is wearing her hot pink Adidas in the second pic, so I'm pretty certain all three of these are her.

NOTE: I AM NOT SURE THIS IS SAM

The first two photos were found by postalbrain3d on TikTok, and I found the third one. Both @rupnowweapondry and I think it is probably her. What do you guys think? They are from her school's Facebook page. The first photo was posted on January 15, 2016, the second photo on March 15, 2016, and the third photo on February 19, 2016. She would have been six at the time, and the caption for the third photo says it is a kindergarten class. The age requirement to enroll in kindergarten in Madison that year was turning five on or before September 1st, 2015 which applied to her.

NEW SAM PHOTO SHES SO CUTEEEEE

Samantha didn’t “copy,” she deeply identified with them

(This is all my opinion and definitely not factual)

Most people are quick to label Sam as a “copycat” without even trying to look into her mind. It’s pretty clear to me that she wasn’t just attempting to be “edgy,” she felt a lot of hurt and found something that made her feel bigger than the way people in her life made her feel, (small, unimportant and neglected.) Sam admired how certain killers got revenge on society for the hurt and anger they felt, she felt like she belonged with people like that and so she let her pain shape who she was and felt as though this ending was meant for her. This wasn’t an impulsive decision Sam made, she felt this way for a long time, maybe she was waiting to find hope or a reason not to but never found it.

Samantha also had what I believed was a mask or shield that probably made her feel protected and in control. This shield consisted of her anger which was very real for her but also the beliefs she shared online and in her manifesto about certain groups of people and society in general. These beliefs and ideas were like a strong outer layer that she felt protected her from hurt or even helped hide her vulnerability. I think that this wasn’t her true self, she was hiding it because she knew that sharing her true self meant being out in the open and susceptible to further emotional pain and misunderstanding.

Sorry if something similar has already been said but I still wanted to share this :’)

Prayers for Sam (and the other victims) at her church. Christmas Eve services, December 24, 2024. She at least occasionally attended Sunday services. I'm not sure how voluntary it was but she seemed to have some discretion not to go.
