Letter attacking rave culture linked to shooter

SEATTLE – A letter found in a trash bin a month after one of the worst mass killings in Seattle history may provide clues about the motive of the shooter, Kyle Huff.

KING-TV reported Thursday night that the letter was found April 24 by an apartment owner who was going through his trash bin looking for clues to find out who was illegally using it.

Sources told the station the letter was verified as being written by Huff.

A Seattle police spokeswoman, Deanna Nollette, did not go quite that far, but said, “I can tell you that the department has in its possession a letter that we think might be of evidentiary value.”

On March 25, Huff shot six people to death at a party in the city’s Capitol Hill neighborhood before killing himself when confronted by a police officer.

Huff, 28, had been invited to the party by people he met at a late-night “rave” dance party.

In the letter, apparently addressed to Huff’s twin brother, Kane, the writer vented his rage against the rave scene.

“They’re packed in there, groping each other, having sex,” the letter said. “This hippy stuff has to end.”

“I’ve got to do something about it,” the letter said. “These people are screwing up the world.”

The letter also said, “Now, kids, now!”

The word “Now” was found spray painted in several places outside the home where the shooting occurred.

Sources tell KING the note was dated several days before the shooting.

The letter was found in the trash bin along with some suspicious materials. The bin was near the apartment where the Huff brothers lived.
