Bernadette Protti.
Protti was
called in for another extensive interview (she had been inter- viewed at least
four times previously) and another polygraph exam. She failed parts of the
polygraph, but other parts were inconclusive. Several days later, Protti returned
with her father to the sheriff’s department and requested to speak with the FBI
agent who had questioned her previously. She then offered a full confession for
the murder of Costas.
Protti stated
she had killed Kristen because Costas had rebuffed Protti’s attempts to make
friends with her. Protti was afraid Costas would tell every- one at school that
she was a “weirdo.” It was this fear of rejection, Protti claimed, that drove
her to kill Costas.
