The interrogation of Kip Kinkel on May 21, 1998. I compiled the parts where he talks about his motive to murder his parents (William Kinkel and Faith Zuranski), his relationship to them and what he was feeling when he killed them. For a better understanding of this, he killed his father first, not in a fight, after the fight, when his father was in the kitchen drinking something. When his mother came home, he killed her too. The next day, he shot up his high school.
- Detective: Okay….So was your dad…Did he hit you or anything like that? Kip Kinkel: No. Detective: Okay…Was he yelling or out of control or? Kip Kinkel: I couldn’t, I couldn’t, I had no other choice. God.
- Kip Kinkel: I loved my dad that’s why I had to Detective: You love him, so that’s why you had to kill him? Kip Kinkel: Yes.
- Kip Kinkel: Oh my God, my parents were good people, I’m just so fucked up in the head, I don’t know why.
- Detective: Do you say anything to her? Kip Kinkel: Yes, I told her I loved her. Detective: And then you shot her. Kip Kinkel: Yes. God damn it, these voices inside my head.
- Kip Kinkel: She was still alive and I said that I loved her and I shot her…I shot her again, so she wouldn’t know that I killed her. I loved my mom.
- Detective: Now you shot your mom to save her the embarrassment and that sort of stuff, right? Kip Kinkel: Yes. Detective: Okay. Was that the right thing or the wrong thing to do? Kip Kinkel: I couldn’t do anything else.
- Kip Kinkel: My dad kept saying how my mom…how embarrassed she was going to be and how horrible I was and I couldn’t let my mom feel like that. I couldn’t do anything else. There’s no other way.
