November 28, 2004"LJ Killer"Rachelle Waterman's LJ is filled with posts about her life, depicting not only her daily activities, but also her depression and thoughts of suicide. Yet, it is the final entry that has caught the attention of so many: "Just to let everyone know, my mother was murdered." A few days later, reports started appearing that showed Rachelle was arrested for the murder and has since been arraigned. Thousands of speculative LJers started posting in threads on her final entry. While some were trying to understand what was happening, much of the thread devolved into obscenity.

Looks like several of Rachel's posts have been removed. I was curious about seeing her words in context of the rest of her LJ. Someone archived the last three posts plus the police report here:
