Walsh Buttrape
In the early 2000s, a rumor surfaced that Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were raped by officer Tim Walsh after being arrested for breaking into a van on January 30, 1998. Although it's impossible to prove this never happened, there is no evidence to support this rumor. In fact, all the evidence used to support this rumor are not what they seem.
Where did this rumor originate?
The rumor that Harris and Klebold were raped by officer Walsh originated from a Columbine community member named Ron Aigner. As a background, Aigner owned the piece of land in Roxborough Park where the memorial crosses made by Greg Zanis were placed when they were removed from Clement Park.
As part of his confession, Harris drew a map of the crime scene where he and Klebold broke into the van and stole electronics equipment. Aigner saw this drawing and noticed a star drawn in the middle of the map. He turned the map sideways, erased a bunch of lines, and decided the remaining drawing resembled a Sheriff sodomizing a kid on all fours. At the time, Aigner had been associating with Mark and Donna Taylor, and he told them he believed the shooting was their revenge against the cops for being raped. The Taylors brought this information to Mark's attorney, John DeCamp, who said he believed this was the truth.
What is "Walsh Buttrape?"
A single text file titled "walshbuttrape.txt" fueled the existing rape rumor. A long-time researcher known as "Research Columbine" was discussing the alleged rape with Aigner, and took notes on his claims in a text document. That document was titled, "walshbuttrape.txt" and was kept in the El Paso County Report folder on his computer's hard drive. This text document contained only this researcher's notes on Aigner's claims, specifying the page number where Eric's drawing could be found in the 11k (page # here) along with the page number in the El Paso report where they published Aigner's fax (page # here).
When "Research Columbine" uploaded his documents to his website, he also uploaded all of his notes, which meant "walshbuttrape.txt" was uploaded to his website in the exact same place it was located on his hard drive: in the main folder of the El Paso County report. Aigner scoured RC's website directories and downloaded all the documents, including his research notes and the file "walshbuttrape.txt." He assumed this text file had been created by El Paso County and released as part of the El Paso County report.
When RC saw Aigner telling people this story, he tried to correct him by explaining those were his research notes on Aigner's rape claim, but Aigner wouldn't listen. RC deleted the file from his website and Aigner accused RC of being a Jefferson County Shill for hiding the truth.
