| USPS America Scientists Forever Stamps |
But now through testimony over the past couple of days the notebook, which Holmes had mailed to his campus psychiatrist Dr Lynne Fenton before the shooting, has been laid open to the public.
We learned, through the testimony of Sgt. Matthew Fyles, that it was intercepted at the mail centre before it reached its intended destination. It was in a manilla-type envelope with bubble wrap. On the front the aspiring scientist had attached sixteen stamps from a very specific collection: the USPS American Scientist "Forever" stamps. Four rows of each scientist. We also learned that there was a post-it type sticky attached to the notebook, on the front was this symbol (which had previously been found on a calendar in Holmes' apartment, etched on the date of the shooting):
On the back of the sticky note read: "Who, what, where, when, why and how." This symbol was found a further three times throughout the notebook, as per Sgt Fyles.
Also contained within the envelope was twenty $20 bills, some of which were burned.
And then the testimony turned to the contents of the notebook itself. We learned that Holmes' had written the notebook for three people; his mother, his father and his sister. We also learned that he had an "obsession to kill." Read the full notebook below.
