Tech killer was 'obsessed' with girl who had new boyfriend (New info)
Timed of London ^ | 4/17/2007

Posted on 04/17/2007 12:41:47 PM PDT by Rutles4Ever

Her smile shines out of the pictures posted on the Facebook website under the title of “Why Emily Hilscher was cooler than me”.

The girl who is believed to have obsessed the Virginia Tech killer, Cho Seung-Hui - and may have been his first victim - had a lot of friends. More than 200 had posted tributes on the website today.

Ella Miller, an old class mate, wrote: “I remember her untieing my shoes with a fork, when we played in the woods around her house in the club house, going to the beach with her and her family. Spending the night at her house and staying up late playing cards, her teaching me how to play the saxaphone, summer crab feasts, swimming in the river, jumping on trampolines in the rain, backstreet boys concert, her putting worms on her nose lol...and it wasn’t just her personality - she was gorgeous!!”

Photographs on the same website show a pretty young woman, preparing for a toga party, going on an 8th grade field trip, and arriving at her high school prom. Described as a straight “A” student, Ms Hilscher, 18, spent most of her free time horse riding and hoped to become a vet.

”I’m interested in pretty much everything,” she wrote on her MySpace page, in which she refers to herself as “The Pixie”.

She added: “My friends are what keeps me smiling. I’m into snowboard, riding and music. Give me something I can bang my head to or dance like crazy, and I’m all over it.”

Ms Hilscher had met a new boyfriend, about whom she gushed about on her page. “I live, love and get booted but eventually that will change...I now have a wonderful guy who is hopefully going to change all of that.” College friends said her new boyfriend had just dropped her off before the massacre.

Ms Hilscher, a first year student who was studying animal and poultry sciences and equine science, was the next-door neighbour of Ryan Clark, a residential adviser at the dormitory where the shooting started.

It is believed that a morning argument in the dormitory at the Virginia Tech campus led Cho to kill the teenager and Mr Clark who had attempted to come to her aid.

Her grandmother, Merle Hilscher, 71, described the tight bond Emily had with big sister Erica, 21, who attended a nearby university. “They were very close all their lives,” she said.

“Now one of them is ended, but we have to carry on.”

On her Facebook tribute page today, Cody Yager wrote: “Emily was one of my first friends here at [Virginia] Tech. How could such a beautiful soul be removed from our lives?”

Will Sonnett from Rappahannock County High School in rural Virginia, said: “Emily Hilscher was cooler than me because she could make friends with a glance and a smile. She never hesitated to make someone, anyone feel at home with kindness and an open mind. Thanks for being awesome to lame little 8th graders, and for making stupid computer classes unforgettable.”

You mean MySpace? She hadn't been on her myspace since December.

She probably never used it that much to begin with. It doesn't appear that way. Some kids like to hook up online and other kids like to hook up in person. Sounds like maybe she was more of the latter.

One other thing to note is that because she was only 18 (presumably a Freshman), the two of them likely met recently, perhaps even very recently -- within the past few weeks or months, even.

Given that there's 26,000 (or more) students on that campus, he might have met her during the most recent semester.

Even though I have no idea what's going on here, this is just my prediction: he got to know her a little, she got a bit friendly with him, which made him think 'Finally, a girl who is showing interest in me.'

Then later, he thought he was "all in" so to speak, then she made it clear she needed to be left alone and that he needed to move on. He didn't like that and lost it.

Just my two cents.

My guess is that she talked to him once or twice, was nice to him, and that was enough for him to think they had a relationship she was “not keeping up” on her end. He probably stalked her big time, put a lot of pressure on her, and being the girl she was , she probably thought it wasn’t worth getting him in trouble for, that it would go away, that a new boyfriend would take care of it. Everything I know about life tells me that is probably the case.

Get lost, you aren’t welcome here - or can’t you tell? Go find another thread to hijack, another victim to blame, and continue to speak ill of the dead. And deny you are doing that, again, as I am sure you will, but your posts here are permanent and very clear.

You don’t know the first thing about me.

And not only are you quick to judge my intentions but to judge my faith. Yea, you must have been a disciple. \rolling eyes.

Ryan Clark IS the new boyfriend!


And how in the world would you know that?

Please supply proof, or else your post must be considered a scurrilous lie.

I went to the link you provided. It seems she expressed herself with a somewhat limited vocabulary punctuated liberally with the F-word as either an adjective or verb. As I have tried religiously to point out to my son, you need to find a better way of expressing yourself. There are many, many different ways of saying things without resorting to just one word. He must have listened as his verbal skills are off the charts.

That being said, if there are any young people out there reading FR (I live in hope), I would strongly suggest that whatever you publish on a public forum like MYSPACE or even here, you think of Emily and what her “space” will show as her last message to the world. If I thought that would be my legacy, I’d fold it up now.

However verbally-challenged her profile might be, she seems to have been in love with life and filled with hope. None of which entitled her to a bullet through the head and an early demise.

You’ve got to be pretty sick to make up lies about a girl that was murdered just yesterday.

How about the links I’ve documented in this thread. Or about the initial reports that the murderer killed the two lovers first then went to reload and get everyone else.

Alright. Maybe not “lies.” But certainly unfounded, scurrilous accusations.

verbally defecate?

this is the last of these peoples problems if they did not accept Christ. They'll be weeping and knashing of teeth where the unsaved are going.

I went to the link you provided and there’s not one word about sex, much less her own sex life, on it. You lied and everyone here can see it.

Unfounded is the basis of a lie is it not? He made up his accusations out of whole cloth.

1. That she was "easy."

2. That she had a relationship with the shooter.

3. That she had a relationship with the RA.

4. That said relationship with the RA was what set off the shooter.

" This is quite a bizarre myspace..."

Nothing bizarre about it. Your posts are bizarre though.
