Police continue to conceal the manifesto of the transgender shooter, 11 months after the Nashville Christian School attack
It’s been almost a year since Audrey Elizabeth Hale, a 28-year-old woman who posed as a man, entered The Covenant School in Nashville and committed a horrific act of violence, taking the lives of six people, including three 9-year-olds.
What’s concerning is that the writings of the Covenant killer, which could shed light on her motives, have been kept hidden from the public. It seems that because Hale identified as transgender, law enforcement has been reluctant to release her manifesto. This raises questions about the media’s narrative and the selective release of information.
According to a report by the Washington Times, the Covenant killer left behind numerous journals, a suicide note, and a memoir. However, these writings have been the subject of intense speculation and legal battles, with various groups demanding their release. As a plaintiff in two of these lawsuits, I am fighting for the public’s right to understand the mind behind this tragedy.
Demand for Answers
In May, Star News Digital Media Inc., along with myself and our CEO Michael Patrick Leahy, filed a lawsuit against the FBI, seeking the release of Hale’s writings. Shortly after, we also joined a state lawsuit against the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD) for the same purpose. Both lawsuits aim to challenge the claim that these documents should remain confidential due to an ongoing investigation.
It is absurd for law enforcement to argue that there is an ongoing investigation into Audrey Hale when she is deceased and acted alone. The state lawsuit rightly points out this contradiction. The public deserves to know the truth.
Despite the resistance from law enforcement, there have been instances where manifestos of mass shooters were released to the public. The FBI, for example, has a history of sharing such writings. This selective enforcement of transparency raises concerns about narrative control and the suppression of information.
Protecting the Truth
The legal battle for the release of Hale’s manifesto continues, with recent allegations suggesting that a childhood cover-up at the school may have motivated the killer. However, without access to the full extent of her writings, it is difficult to fully understand her motives and take steps to prevent similar acts of violence.
It is crucial that the public’s right to information is upheld, regardless of the circumstances. The Department of Justice’s recent announcement of a webinar on preventing violence at schools further highlights the disconnect between their actions and the withholding of crucial information.
We must hold our government accountable and fight for transparency. The public has a right to know, and it is through open-records laws that we can protect ourselves and prevent future tragedies.

Why is transparency important in understanding the motivations and warning signs that can help prevent similar acts of violence in the future?
E. Our demand for answers stems from the belief that transparency is crucial in understanding the motivations and warning signs that could help prevent similar acts of violence in the future.
We believe that the public has a right to access information that could shed light on this horrific tragedy. By keeping Hale’s writings hidden, law enforcement is preventing the public from understanding the full extent of her motives and the factors that may have contributed to her actions. Transparency is not only necessary for the sake of justice but also for the safety and well-being of our communities.
Media’s Narrative
The media plays a crucial role in informing the public and shaping public perception. However, it is concerning when the media selectively releases information, as it raises questions about journalistic integrity and the influence of political correctness. In the case of Audrey Elizabeth Hale, her transgender identity appears to have had a significant impact on the narrative surrounding this tragedy.
It is important to note that our demand for the release of Hale’s writings is not an attack on the transgender community or an attempt to undermine the struggles they face. Rather, it is an insistence on understanding the full story behind this violent act. By suppressing information based on identity or political correctness, the media risks creating an incomplete narrative that fails to address the underlying issues that may have led to this tragedy.
Preventing Future Tragedies
The release of Hale’s writings could provide invaluable insights into her state of mind, her thought processes, and her motives. It could help law enforcement agencies, mental health professionals, and communities at large identify warning signs and develop preventive measures to avoid similar tragedies in the future.
Understanding the motivations behind acts of violence is crucial in creating effective strategies for prevention. By keeping Hale’s writings hidden, we are essentially closing the door on the opportunity to learn from this tragedy and take necessary steps to safeguard our communities.
Conclusion
In the pursuit of justice and a safer society, we must prioritize transparency and the release of information that can provide valuable insights into acts of violence. The case of Audrey Elizabeth Hale serves as a reminder that we cannot allow identity politics or political correctness to hinder our understanding of the full narrative behind tragic events.
It is our hope that through our lawsuits, the public will gain access to Hale’s writings, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of her motives. This understanding will not only assist law enforcement but also contribute to the prevention of future tragedies by addressing root causes and implementing effective preventive measures.
