On August 7, 1997, a “concerned citizen” contacted police regarding Eric Harris’ website containing threats to kill people, including Brooks Brown. The 1997 documents are scanned printouts of Eric’s webpages made by police at that time and include descriptions of the destructive pranks (“Rebel Missions”) he and his friends pulled on people they didn’t like. The 1998 documents are related to the reports filed by Randy Brown, which include additional website printouts given to police. One year after the “concerned citizen” tipped off police, Mike Guerra drafted a search warrant for the Harris home after Eric published detailed descriptions of making and detonating bombs on his website. Several exploded bombs that matched Eric’s descriptions were found in a field a few blocks from his home, prompting the search warrant. Unfortunately, the search warrant was never executed and JCSO investigators claimed it was accidentally lost, tucked away in a binder until another investigator discovered the affidavit. For a full timeline of events concerning the affidavit, read Alan Prendergast’s article in Westword titled Chronology of a Big Fat Lie. |

The March 25, 1998 edition of the Columbine Community Courier published a blurb about Eric Harris’ death threats against Brooks Brown. Below is a quote from the paper: “Classmate making death threats on Internet – A man reported that his son goes to school with a boy who has his own web page. Recently, the man told a deputy that boy has made death threats against his son on that web page. The father downloaded and printed 10 pages in which the boy threatened his son three times. The boy also explained how to make pipe bombs and use them against people. The father said he was concerned about his son’s safety and that he wanted someone to look into the matter. The case has been turned over to investigations.” |

Nearly one year before the shooting, JCSO investigator Mike Guerra drafted a search warrant for Eric Harris’ home after Brooks Brown’s father, Randy, told police about Eric’s website. The way Eric described his bombs on his website specifically matched exploded pipe bombs found in a field a few blocks from his home. Unfortunately, the search warrant was never executed and JCSO investigators claimed it was accidentally lost, tucked away in a binder until another investigator discovered the affidavit. For a full timeline of events concerning the affidavit, read Alan Prendergast’s article in Westword titled Chronology of a Big Fat Lie. |

Former Colorado attorney general Ken Salazar launched a grand jury report to investigate what authorities knew about Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold prior to the shooting. A search warrant was drafted for the Harris home, but was never submitted to a judge. The grand jury discovered plenty of ‘missing’ documents. The grand jury also reported that authorities held a secret meeting a few days after the attack and decided to hide the existence of the search warrant from the public. |
