She was unable to provide him any other particulars about the weapons. She had told Hecklerthat she nad confided in no one else regarding this information.

Calling his attention to his activities on 04-20-99, he noted arriving at school at 0730, parking his vehicle init's assigned spot, just west of the cafeteria, and meeting Robyn Anderson In the parking lot. Hecommented that Klebold has the assigned spot next to him, however his car was not parked there as usual.HE d Robyn walked into the School, first meeting Nate Dykeman who was silting in his vehicle, a whitefull Sized pickup, listening to 9 Inch Nails on his car stereo.
