FEDERAL BlJREAU OF INVESTIGATION

05/10(1999

Chris Tibaldo, date of birth 9/8/1981, 7444 South ZephyrCourt, Littleton, Colorado 80123 was interviewed by Federal Bureauof Investigation (FB!) Speoial Agent (sAl Matthew R. Hellman andColorado State Patrol (CSP) Investigator Perry J. Powell in thepresence of his mother Diana Graves and his attorney Scott Baroway,at the law offices of Dawson and Baroway, 3677 S. Huron Street#105, Englewood, Colorado 80110. After being advised of theidentity of the interviewing agents and the nature of theinterview, Tibaldo provided the following information:

Tibaldo knew both Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, shootersin the attack on Columbine High School. Tibaldo did not knowHarris very well, he only sat near Harris at lunch and saw him oncein a while before school. Harris seemed to be fairly quiet.Tibaldo knew Klebold better than he knew Harris. Tibaldo, Kleboldand Zach Heckler hung out in the computer lab together, puttingtogether computers for the school. They also shared knowledgeabout the "Linux" operating system, though Klebold and Heckler knewrelatively little about it compared to Tibalda. Klebold seemedlike a happy person and did not talk about killing. Klebold wouldgive Tibaldo a ride home from school on occasion. Tibaldo had notseen Klebold for several months because Tibaldo quit going toschool at CHS and hasn't been there since around January 4, 1999.

Tibaldo had been attending Warren Tech High SchOOl butdropped out recently to pursue either a career or college.

On April 20, 1999, Tibaldo was awakened, at home, by hismother at approximately 2,30 P.M. She told him about the shootingthat was going on at school. Tibaldo called his friend ZachHeckler and spoke to his mother who said that Zach was OK. He thencalled Heckle~s girlfriend, Devon Adams and spoke to her sisterwho said that Devon was OK. Neither Adams nor Heckler knew ofKlebold's whereabouts. Tibaldo had heard on the news that theshooters were wearing trench coats and was concerned about thepeople he knew. He called Adam's house again around 6:00 ~.M. andHeckler was there. Still, no one had heard from Klebold.

Tibaldo only knew by name Chris Morris and Zach Heckleras being associates of Harris and Klebold. There were others thatTibaldo did not know or talk to. Tibaldo feels that if there was

interviewer, Harris wasnot thrilled about the idea,so theydecided todo a practice interview, In the practiceinterview, Harris

pretended to he Me Long, and Vendengia was the interviewer, While the practiceInterview was being filmed. Harris made

manyside comments, In response to the interviewer's question about whatkind of technology was used to keep the school

computers safe, Harris replied,"I use a shotgun. I keep the old shotgun underthe desk:' In response to the question about

keeping up withgrowing technology, Harris replied, -I usedrugs:' Klebold was nota part of this interview. nor was hea part

of the next video which involved the car chase.

In a written statement by Veik, which( requested he writepnor to our interview beingconcluded, Veik included information

aboutthe car chasevideo. It was patterned aftertheTV program "COl'S:' and it was titled "CHS Highway Patrol." Vendengia

and a friend of his, Chris Walker. were the cops who had separate vehicles. They were patrolling behind the McDonald's

located on W.CoalmineAvenue, easton S. PierceSt. In thisvideo they tind Veikand Harris beatingup a person (dummy)

Veikand Harris then pick up the "person" and throwhim in thetrunk of Harris' car. The two are then chased by the"police

officers" to ClementPark where they are stoppedand arrested.

The next video wasgoing to be filmed outsideof Blackjack Pizza where Harris and Klebold work. It wasgoingto be an into­

mercia! about a car wax. in the skit, they used a bike. Vendengia was the consumer. Harris and Kleboid were doing a

demonstration, and they were droppingrandom objectson the bike. One scene included Harris with a crow bar and Klebcid

witha sledge hammer. completely demolishing thebike. Veik Slated thisproduction wasneverfilmed because theylostinteres:

in the idea.

Veikstated that in Harris' spare time,Harris wouldcompile Hollywood movies which hadaction and weapons in it. He's make

it into a music video, No one from the school group starred in it. The music that Harris used was a hard rock song called

"Fire:' All thescenesin the video involved clipsof weapons. explosives. anddestruction from themovies, Someof themovies

usedwere "TerminatorII," "Heat," "StarshipTroopers:' "Alien,"and"Predator."

assignment was to create a business. Harrisand Klebold cameup with the ideaof being hitman, The tnle of the video was

"Hitmanfor Hire." The original titlewas"Revengefor Hire." In thevideo. Harris and Klebold were the hitmen, Veikwas the

victim,and Vendengia was the jock whowas harassing Veik. Harris and Klebold used replicas of guns and spokeof killing

In the video. Veikstated he never heard if this video wassuccessful in the class Harris was doing it for.

In the"Hirman for Hire"Video, thejock character is harassing veik, who is verysmallin stature. Hams and KleboJd are then

sent to protect Veik, The two woretheir trench coats and reflective glasses as part oftheir hitmen attire. Veik recalled a few

specific scenesin the video. Inone scenethejock character is shotand killed by Hartis and Kleboldafter they pullout a gun

and shoothim. Velkstated thata BS gun wasused inthe video. In another scene, whichVeik referred to as the"intimidation

scene", Harris and Klebold look into the cameraas if thecamera were the person they werespeaking to. They then began 10

yell and curse into the camera, This video was filmed behind the Cooper7 theater near the Blackjack Pizzawhich Harris

worked.

The lastvideo thatVeik worked on with Hartisand KlehoJd was titled "RadioActiveClothing." This wasapproximately 16

minutes long, and was taken from the movie, "Vampires". starring James Woods. Harris and Klebold were rhe stars .n the

video, and they used replicaweapons in the filming of it This was for Mr.Taloccos' class. The plot involved a small group

of peoplegoingfrom town to town.stopping radioactive clothing from taking over the world. Veikstated theplotwaswritten

by Harris and Klebold. As they were filming, Veik noticed that the two werebeingextremely blunt He askedthem about it.

and they responded, "Who cares, Taloccos is the only person tha; is going to see it, and he won't care." Harris was using

military strategy in partsof this video. VeikSUited that in theplotheandVendengiaget injured, and Hartis and Klebold figure

out a way to save them. The movieendswith a very large explosion from a house. This partofthe video wascreated by using

editingtechnology Veik statedthere were no explosives or live ammunition actually used in the video.

Veik remembers another idea whichwas never filmed. Hestated the plotsof this video had Vendengiaand Walker as cops

tryingto solvea murder. Veik pretendsto be a cop. but is really working for Hartiswho is the murderer.

residennal area. The guy dressed in black rhen jumped over the residential fence on the south side of the Senior parking lot

area. The students described this unknown male as "running like bell." I asked Veik how far away he was from the area that

they described the man running through. He staled the length ofa football field, approximately 100 yards. Veik did no! know

the names of these students who saw this individual running and jumping over the fence. The individuals did tell him that they

were going to tell a teacher about 11.

I asked Veik if there were any addirional copies of the videos he had left in the school room. He stated all the videos he had

next to his camera bag were the originals. He stated he did not make copies of any ofthem. and he does not recall loaning any

of the originals out to anyone. He did say that his teacher. Mr. Taloccos. was given the film "Radioactive Clothing:' He

believes that the teacher would have it in his office at the school. The video would either be a high 8 or VHS cassette.

Veik Slated that he has video information on his own home computer. He has a Gateway 2000 computer. He stated he had one

.,VI tile. From that, he printed out a copy of what he had and gave it to Sergeant Tomford, who in tum gave the video to me.

This video was placed taro evidence. He stated that what he has on his computer's AVI file has not been deleted. Veik stated

this infurmation is located on 'he part of his computer titled "My Computer:' under the "D" drive, under a folder named "Eric:'

and sub-folders with the names "Eric" and "Dylan:'

I asked Veik to draw me a layout of the library and the studio. to indicate tbe computers in the school which may carry files

with video information about Hams. Klebold and their projects. Veik also drew a map of the Tech Lab where c~mputers would

be located. and drew diagrams of where Klebold's vehicle was parked, also the direction in which the unknofn male wearing

black <an and jumped the fence, the location of how he exited the building, and where he and fellow students werestandIng

when he heard that they had observed a man jumping the fence, These maps are attached to this report.

Veik indicated there might be rapes located in the studio. He Slatedthere are two cameras in the studio. Tapes might be inside

the cameras, or tapes might be found on the window sill located just behind the cameras. There are also two video files in rhe

studio production room. Veik does not know ifany videos that be has taken would be found in these areas. but that these areas

are where videos would most likely be stored.

InVeik's diagram of theTech lab, he indicates threecomputers whichwould have beenused by the suspects and might contain

files with information. Veik stated he mainly used the computerlocated to the left of Mr. long's office. He statedeveryone

used this computer. He stated the data that we would be looking for would probably be found under the category "My

Computer:' The second computer which might have information on it is the Macintosh computer. It is located on the table

to the rightofMr long's office. Veikstated tlus is an older Macintosh whichis less used by the students. The thirdcomputer

is a brand new Macintosh computer with a green casing. It is on the table next to Mr. Taloccos office Veik stated that the

brandnew Macintosh would probablynot contain too much material since the students had not been trainedon how to use it

Veikstatedin gettingon to these computers, aftergoinginto the"My Computer" area. one would have to enteran identificaticn

number, He said you could either hit a cancelkey whichwill bypass this, Or you will need to enrer an identification number

Ihis wouldbe for the"0" drive. The identification number would be the first letterof the person '5 first name, followed by the

person's lastname, then the student's identification number. For example: EVEIK 528494.

Veikstated theschool usesTCl as a cable company. Theirchannel is channel27, and the in-school channel is channel 98 On

theschoolchannel is a marqueewhich repeats continually. Onecanpressenter andgo through thepages in different directions

He stated the suspects could have possibly used the studio to makea messageon the marquee.

Veik states that he does not have his own Website, and did not know if any of the others had a Website. He stated that

Colurnbme High School has its own computer server Using spaceon the school's computer was on a lim come first serve

basis. Nostudent had to pay for computer time.

Veik told me that he was upset with the what the mediawas sayingabout Harrisand Kleboid. He said they were portraying

the two as monsters, and he did not see them that way. Veik recognizes what they have done and that they have killedone of

his friends. Veikstated on 04-21-99, he went toClementParkto speakwith themedia to let themknow therewas anotherside

them any information. Veik's father has placed a recordingon the home phone which states that no messageswill be taken

from the media.

Veik became very tearful in the interview, when he expressed remorse for not having understood the danger that the two

suspects posedto the school. Veik statedthat althoughthe suspect's ideas weredifferent. he saw a creative side to them which

he appreciated. Veik stated the suspects always treated him decently, Hedid nor think that their preoccupation with violence

indicated any serious threat. Yeik expressed concern that he did nOI want any of the video footage he was a part of or had

filmed to be exploited by the media.
