What Did Robin Westman’s Manifesto Reveal?
As per media reports, the 23-year-old transgender shooter Robin Westman had been in a long-term relationship with the woman, before abruptly calling it quits a few weeks before the incident.
Westman had lashed out at Bodick who is also known as either Abbey or Jakub calling her a “blue hair and pronouns b*tch” before shooting dead eight-year-old Fletcher Merkel and Harper Moyski, 10, inside Annunciation Catholic Church before taking her own life at the scene a few days later.
The ex-girlfriend, 22-year-old Abigail Bodick, was described in Westman’s disturbing journals as the “root of my suffering”.
In the manifesto, written by Westman, it was revealed that she called it quits and cited the reason that the 22-year-old woman was “the root,” of her suffering, and the “catalyst for her deranged behaviour.”
One entry suggests the breakup happened in early August, with Westman telling a friend on July 27 that she needed space from Bodick and the manifesto is filled with stories about Bodick and their pet cat, Parmesan.
An Instagram account linked to Bodick features a furry profile image and te 22-year-old attended an “Anime Detour” convention dressed in blue furry cat ears with painted whiskers.
Bodick, who studied Visual Arts, graduated in 2021 from the Perpich Center for Arts Education.
Additionally, Robin complained about not being able to kill her because it would really “f*ck up,” her plan to massacre kids.
“I just pointed my pistol at the back of Abbey’s head to see if I would feel anything,” she wrote.
“No, the only thing I felt was fear of them turning around and catching me. I felt no remorse or fear of killing them, I was only concerned about how murdering Abbey would really f–k up my plans,” she continued.
Furthermore, the culprit also revealed that she felt fascinated about those who enjoy presenting themselves as cartoons, while donning cartoon related stuffs.
In her manifesto, she wrote ““I like feeling *exy and cute, but my face never matches how I feel. I hate my face… maybe that’s why I like furries so much.”
Multiple pictures dating back to 2022, feature the two enjoying their time together.

Robert (Robin) Westman lived in one of the most "affirming" cities in the country.
He changed his name to be more feminine.
He changed his appearance to be more feminine.
He changed his pronouns to be more feminine.
And yet, his mental illness only got worse.
