City “To Kane From Kyle”
Here’s the letter that Seattle Police have just released. Larger version is here:
An apartment manager who was determined to stop illegal dumpers appears to have discovered the single piece of evidence that provides insight into what drove Kyle Aaron Huff to shoot and kill six young people at a house party in Capitol Hill last March, shortly before he turned the gun on himself.
The manager, who has not been identified by police, looked through his Dumpster on the 2700 block of NE 115th Street and on April 24 contacted police — but it wasn’t about the letter.
“While looking through the Dumpster he found a suspicious device,” said Seattle Police Department spokeswoman Deanna Nollette. “It was a lump of modeling clay with wires coming out of it and a digital clock — it looked bomblike.”
SPD summoned the bomb squad, which found the device to be harmless. “The ingredients were inert,” said Nollette. Police looked through the rest of the Dumpster, however, and it’s then that the letter was found.
Police are analyzing the handwriting on the letter against other samples of Huff’s writing they have recovered during the course of the investigation.
There is no evidence suggesting that the bomb-like device belonged to Huff — it was merely found in the same Dumpster, which was located a little over a mile from the Huff residence, at 12320 Roosevelt Way, in North Seattle. “It was a needle in a haystack,” said Nollette.
The photocopy of the letter released to the media appears to have been written on the back of a notice from the landlord of the Town and Country Apartments, which is where the Huff twins lived.
Nollette refused to say whether Kyle’s twin brother, Kane Huff has been able to provide additional evidence, such as whether Kane found the letter and disposed of it. “We can’t comment on the investigation,” said Nollette.
We have posted the transcript after the jump, and here is Eli Sanders’ post on Huff’s handwriting.
Date is partially cut off by copy, but appears to be 03/23/06 (the shooting occurred at 7 a.m., March 25)

"They're raping us"?
"The most important thing to happen since man began"?
"They're fucking next to us when we're really high to make us freak out"?
I have a few more questions I'd like to ask Kane Huff.
