Definitely anything external.
It's been 26 years, and I can't recall what happened 17 minutes in. I think they left the library, correct? If so, we have no way of knowing for sure, but yes, all the experts I consulted*, it's highly likely that Eric got bored, as psychopaths do.
* I worked with some of the top experts in the world, most brought in to the case by the FBI, so they knew it well. This included Dr. Robert Hare, who literally wrote the book on psychopathy, and created the current definition/conception of what it is, including the famous Psychopathy Checklist. I spent a few hours with him, and discussed this very situation at length. Very little doubt in his mind.

Hello Mr. Cullen, I just finished reading Columbine and absolutely loved it - it was so well-researched and intriguing. Although absolutely horrifying, it gave me so much more background on the shooting. With your recent book on Parkland and your deep insight into school shootings, do you plan on writing any books on the history of / your investigative journalism on (if you have done any) gun control?
