Subject: What happened to Patti Nielsen? Tue Nov 07, 2023 11:20 pm
I was wondering if anyone knew what happened to Patti Nielsen, the woman who made the 911 call from the Columbine library during the shooting. On the 911 audio, you hear her telling kids to hide under the tables. They listened to her. 22 kids got shot while she hid in a closet and stayed safe. I was just curious if anyone knew how things turned out for her.

I heard she changed her name or something like that. Aside from that, the 911 phone call is the last time the world heard from her i guess.

While it's said she doomed those in the library, it seems to me that contrary to the usual story, her interrupting the perps got them shooting in the first place. Only makes sense to me to go for the exit before you go for the people sitting beside it, i. e. Rachel and Richard.
So at least in my view, she likely saved those in the cafeteria.
I know it's more "what is she up to these days" but you seem have the curiosity and I felt it should be added.
