5 findings from Covenant School shooter Audrey Hale's complete diary
3. Wished death upon her father
While the previously released excerpts of the diary document Hale’s resentment toward her parents, a newly released entry titled “Dad Problems” indicates that she had a desire to kill her father. On the undated page, Hale wrote, “I hate when my dad loves on the cats; not me” and referred to her father as a “f----t.”
“He never once loved on me for years, maybe like ever (as a child; maybe),” she added. “I hate his old cranky-man existence. All cranky good-for-nothing mentally ill men SHOULD DIE. They’re all useless pieces of s---.
Describing her father as a “waste of life, waste of time” and a “waste of human population,” she lamented, “Dad just takes up space for all I know.” She slammed him as a “dried out & hollow” person who “says negative s--- all the time, like ‘he’s a loser’” or “I hate movies like this.”
“WELL GUESS WHAT? [YOU’RE] A LOSER!” she exclaimed. After telling her father “I HATE YOU” and “I DON’T CARE IF YOU DIE,” Hale insisted, “I WANT TO KILL YOU.”
In a previous diary entry from Jan. 19, 2023, Hale lamented that “Sydney is gone but my f---ing dad is still alive,” adding, “It should be the other way around.”
She also called her father “delusional,” responding to his assertion that “it gets better & better” by proclaiming, “OLD MAN, YOU’RE FULL OF S---.” A March 2023 entry has an “X” drawn through the face of a man presumed to be Hale’s father, accompanied by the caption “A day w/o a father will be a better day.”
