MELFI acknowledged thatshehas already beeninterviewed, but I explained that I needed to getsome additional Information in regard to herconversation with Stephanie BRESSE at theColumbine Library on Apri120, 1999 following the shootings.
MELFI remembered theconversation, and I asked her about hercomment that someone sheknew hadsaid the incident hadbeen planned fora year. She said theperson who told her thatwas Alex MARSH.
According to MELFI, MARSH was in the same world literature classas MELFI during the firstsemester of the 1998 -1999 school year. In thatclass, MARSH wasthe "boisterous" person inthe class. MELFI remembers thatMARSH was made fun of a lot, because she would stand up inclass and speakher mind abouttopics thatwerebeingdiscussed, but that her statements wouldevolve into"nonsense".
On theparticular daythatMELFI was referring to, which she recalled was during the lastpart ofNovember or the first part of December, thepeople whowere teasing or making fun ofMARSHwere jocks butMELFI said they weren't the onlyones who made fun of MARSH.
MELFI described MARSH as being "pretty tough", andthought MARSH didn't have manyfriends, because shewould seeMARSH alone in thehalls between classes. However, MELFIsaid thepeople with whom MARSH didassociate were members of the Trench CoatMafia. Iasked who those people were, and she gavemethe names ofCbri~stenTIiIEBAUtt, John SAVAGEand Pauline COLBY. I asked if__••as partof that
