Chris M?

Anyone else here interested in Chris Morris? I find him the most interesting even more so than E/D. He’s the one that you can’t find much about, even to this day. He was apparently one of their best friends but Sue Klebold doesn’t mention him in her book. He is just a mystery to me I guess you could say. Btw I’m new here!!

I've always been very curious of Chris Morris. Out of all E&D's friends he is the one that we know the least about in the years following the attack. He seemed to have disappeared, and there is some speculation that he may have even changed his name.

Also welcome to the forum!

I probably would go into hiding if I was him as well lol

True. I wouldn't blame anyone associated with Columbine for trying to protect their privacy and doing their best to move on with their lives.

Right, especially someone like him who was basically the scapegoat

I actually consider Mark Manes, and Phil Duran the true scapegoats of Columbine.

I would add Chris in that list as well. Just because of him getting kick out, being arrested, etc. apparently in the days after columbine the close friends of the shooters really couldn’t go out because of all the anger thrown at them.

True, but he didn't go to jail over his involvement. In my opinion Mark and Phil were mainly used to placate the victims families. Eric and Dylan were past being held accountable, so they went for the ones who help them get the guns. Well other then Robyn Anderson who was let off with almost nothing.

That’s true. I just wonder why Chris was Interrogated as much as he was when Zack or Nate were possibly closer with Chris. I wonder if because Chris was seen more as a “sneaky” and defiant type with a criminal background, they just assumed he knew.

I think it was more that he was a member of the dreaded Trench Coat Mafia. Eric and Dylan wore them SO Chris was likely considered guilty by association.

That makes sense too but then my mind goes other places like why wasn’t Brian Sargent or tad boles interrogated. I basically am more dumbfounded by CM then EK/ED
