Read: Shooter’s Gmail chats with ex-girlfriend go from awkward to evil
CENTENNIAL, Colo. — At first, the Gmail chats between Aurora theater shooter James Holmes and his then-girlfriend Gargi Datta were innocuous enough.
Starting in October 2012, the pair flirtatiously chatted about gaming, school and lab rotations. Their typed conversations, full of pop culture references, are peppered with emoticons and sexual innuendo.
At one point, Holmes told Datta, “(Y)ou can’t get enough of my sexy (N)eo body.”
By March, however, their correspondence turned downright frightening. In a chat dated March 25, 2012, Datta told him, “(D)o what you feel like doing, its (sic) a (S)unday afternoon.”
He replied, “(W)ell what I feel like doing is evil so can’t do that.” She asked him, “(W)hat is so evil that you want to do?”
The shooter, now facing the death penalty, had a simple answer:
“Kill people of course,” he said.
The court Monday released Datta and Holmes’ full online correspondence, dated between October and March of 2012.
