5 findings from Covenant School shooter Audrey Hale's complete diary
5. Diary concludes with Hale using her birth name
While the diary features multiple instances of Hale referring to herself as “Aiden,” a boy’s name that reflects her self-declared gender identity and is based on the contention that she was born in the wrong body, the diary concludes with a message reading, “Remember me for the good things.” She signed the last sentence in her diary using her given name “Audrey,” accompanied by a heart.
Earlier in the diary, Hale wrote a love letter to someone else, reading, “Audrey is not my name but when you say it, I am just the little 1 I was back then.” The letter also insisted that “I can be a kid again with you, alongside you, even if I can’t be w/ you” and concluded with Hale signing her name “Aiden” with “Audrey” in parentheses.
