I have never seen Kirsten insult anyone, (I knew her), she was friendly towards everybody, Berns BFF May say it differently, cause Bernadette just took things way to Serious, and like I said she took things way to Personal to where it became Personal. She was happy go lucky mostly, she only had a couple (she didnt like), we all have someone we do t get long with. To them maybe. After her mother read it, she picked her up from school and went to the police station to record the confession. I wasnt in the Popular, but those girls still talked to me and was friendly with me. I never understood why Bernadette killed Kirsten. Smoking and cussing that is mostly the ones that were disliked. But those others today are still a lot of fun. Love your integrity on all this. They made it theyre choice to, like doing stupid stuff all the time. How did Kirsten push Bernadette so far? We all as teens said something smart to someone or hurt someones feelings. I dont think she intended to kill Kirsten, I believe she was desperate for a friendship and pushed to hard at it, and when she realized she made a fool out of herself, to became to much for her to handle and she did the (unthinkable). But it wasnt a big fallout, just words between them.. Karen, where are you? You may think Bernadette is happy and living life, glad you think so, I would hate to have to always live in fear, of fear of running into someone from my past, or, someone who knows about my past. Im sure she dont really like Bernadette, and she wouldnt go out to dinner with her, or have her over for dinner or go places with her, and welcome her with open arms. Hostile people do. her a few times she was kind of uppity also like Kirsten. I certainly dont condone murder under any circumstances even if someone is being bullied but I certainly think it is a terrible thing to actually do a movie that is based on true events without any detail to the accuracy of the characters. Melissa Womer: children, Jim Carrey, net worth, latest updates. The movie hinted at Bernadette being gay but only a hint. Upon arrival, Costas learned firsthand that the dinner was an elaborate lie Protti came up with. As for the girls acting like Hoes if they have PTSD from it maybe they should of thought of the consequences, before they did it. I believe that the real number was held by the cops. Later, an agitated Kirsten reached out to Alex and Mary Jane Arnold, in Moraga, saying her friend had acted weirdly with her. She acted like Kirsten except Kirsten was (more funny). Youve got to be kidding right?! She let it be known. Being disgusted with the the murderers nonchalant behaviour after her brutal crime? Thats so hot, the girl says, and heads home. It's a remake of 1994's A Friend To Die For, which became a popular rerun for Lifetime under the Retronym Death of a Cheerleader, so they used that title for the remake. That night, Bernadette told her mother they needed to talk, but Elaine Protti said she was tired. How is sweet referred to Murder? Kellie Martin did a masterful job playing the role of an awkward teenage girl desperately yearning for acceptance from the "In" crowd in high school. Kirsten ran from Bernadettes car and wanted to be left alone, yet Bernadette stalked Kirsten to her house. Ok, I agree with you that Kirsten was better-looking, but you realize that Bernadette was part Italian, right? You are bullying a dead teenage girl by deliberately and knowingly perpetuating lies about her because you appear to identify with Angela Delvecchio in Death of a Cheerleader ( a character that doesnt exist and is not a real representation of what Bernadette Protti was like). Well hes probaly no better. Kirsten from what I heard was arrogant and self absorbed, but no bully, just a typical teen girl who didnt deserve to die even if she was a bully. The Petaluma Argus-Courier Tuesday, June 26, 1984, San Francisco Examiner Thursday, June 28, 1984, San Francisco Examiner Friday, June 29, 1984. She may of been misunderstood. They were stuck up I didnt hate them, maybe they were misunderstood. Bunch of Bernadettes lurking around everywhere. So RuPaul,Kelly and Sarah, you all need to get facts before you say Kirsten got what she deserved. Firstly, Bernadette is an insentient and abhorrent human being. It has her sister cutting vegetables with a ridiculously long knife too, and Kirstens parents were right who cuts up vegetables with a knife that long that they keep in the car? Bernadette is in her fifties and may have changed her name to Jannette Tomanka. Heres what I think came down, the 2 girls had an argument and Bernadette was afraid she would of been kicked out of the (Bobbies) and excluded from that group. Like I said, Bernadette is shady. She did have money, dont let that other Mats tell you any different. I think Kirsten probably threatened to tell everybody their bizarre conversation in the car that night. Kirsten had a lot to look forward to. They still do Bernadette and always will, so she has to look over her head every second. So I can tell you kids in these upper class schools are not angels and theyre raised not to be by their parents, who were the same way when they were in school. Your email address will not be published. My friend loved her and said she was one that you couldnt help but love even though she could be cocky. Basically ,she liked everybody. The film is based on Randall Sullivans Rolling Stone article of the same name. And those others, D and them, they have lives of their own and probaly (jobs and families) so why would they care about being the Life of the Party? Im sure today Ms. Stuff, D and Beauty and the Beast could still be the life of the Party if they wanted to be. You didnt read that. No reason for Murder cause someone is what you arent, or ever will be. I heard Bernadette was Snobbish also as well. Therefore, it was hard for the Prottis to afford the lifestyle that Bernadette desired. I suffer from PTSD. people arent to worried about this case any longer. As for me, Im the same age as the girls involved in the case. She once told Kirsten to shut up in biology and thats why everyone thought shed done it. The rest of you can lurk around and limp your hunchback selves to therapy. There was one that wrote in the1986 alumni that she wasnt desiring to be found cause the 4 years at Miramonte wasnt the best for her. Gregory Scott Cummins, film, television, and theater actor; NFL player. That leaves only the knife and whether its true or not a witness corroborated the girls account. You will be startled by how the events unfolded on that fateful day. The girl that stole her life from her shouldve never been released from prison. So whoever wrote Miramonte was a bad school and everyone cut everyone down, maybe it was you cause you werent socially accepted, and probably didnt make the best choices, or embarrassed yourself wanting the attention and. Thats my belief. And How!!! This poor girl never got to grow up and experience life all because some horrible, disturbed girl murdered her. Her drive for perfection makes her seek out the friendship of Kelly Locke, a rich and pretty girl. Kirsten left the car and went to the home of Alexander and Mary Jane to call her parents. She wont be going back to Orinda its highly likely she wont. Kirsten wasnt obligated to helping those people, sometimes it has to be done on your own! She wasnt interested in helping outcast kids, cause she wanted to be in, and she was popular to from my standpoint of view. Eventually, she came clean to her parents. Regardless she didnt deserve to die, and she isnt the only one who laughed at people in High School. Self Absorbed yes. Dylan and Eriks parents were loaded. So, what happened in 1984 and what is Protti up to today? You will think positive then allow being moved by what ppl say or do. It shocked everyone in the small community where crimes were something to be read about. Kirsten doesnt look much better than she. I know beauty is all a matter of perception, not that it matters but in no universe would Bernadette be considered better looking. You wrote in another comment , Kristen had it well deserved. You cant go back in time. Sad because K had it all as I saw it. Where are you these days? Click here to read more of the story, which later became the (fictionalized) subject of not just one but two TV movies A Friend to Die For and Death of a Cheerleader.. Google it and Season 1 thru 3 Lindsey is on there. Her main concern when being caught was people finding out who she was, and people hating her rather then easing the pain of the parents who obviously would never be the same considering they buried their own child (who had not had a chance to live, and have life beyond her own) before they buried themselves! For the students, the killing and its aftermath have left bitter feelings. If shed been bullied by Kirsten, seems like shed have told it in detail.

She is a Sociopath. She should of just left Kirsten alone and went on with other things, Kirsten wouldnt of gave her any thought otherwise, but she was just obsessed with Kirsten and Kirsten liking her, that was the main focus in her life, and it took Kirstens unfortunately. Her attacker was Bernadette Protti; both girls were 15 . So yes it sucks to be bullied, but that is no excuse for any kind of physical action. She was then driven to an empty car- park at night and was justifiably angry with Bernadette over it. It was only a matter of time before she d get caught so she came forth. Youre talking about Tori Spelling in a movie being a minor bully not Kirsten whom you know next to nothing about. And the sister projected her crappy life onto her younger sister because she was unhappy. Columbine has nothing to do with case and you know well that the two cant be compared. It seemed like Bernadette needed intense psychotherapy for her issues. Judge: Well, with the exception of the taped confession, this whole case is circumstantial. If you were a no body she didnt roll with you. 16-year-old Luca Gero was a junior at Miramonte High School. Dont let this Corona Virus stop you? People can get really nasty at this school, says one junior, standing with a group of classmates on the lawn surrounding Miramonte. It was a strange time growing up around religious freaks. Sorry about that. Bunch of fg liars. You took the life away from this poor girl and her family. So Mats read the Definition Sweet, it doesnt line up,with Murder. Today, she has a career, is married and has children. Many say they cant trust anyone anymore, not after what Bernadette did. So she is a Horrible girl. I only talked to The killing, which has left authorities baffled, occurred as the popular student and cheerleader was apparently fleeing a bogus invitation to an initiation dinner for the Bobbies, a public service sorority-like group she had joined. A lot of girls are Conceited, dont mean they deserved to be Murdered. And the color pictures of the school are photographs I took. What a bizarre story. Maybe LP doesnt want to be the Life of the party. Even if you werent rich, if you were smart and acted sensible you were accepted. I think Miramonte was like any School, you have your cliques and picks. Stacey (Tori Lockwood) played Kirsten Costas, while Angie (Kellie Martin) played Bernadette Protti. Same for Karen Severson and Laura Doyle theyre cold blooded killers to, Missy was Kirstens age, this happened not long after Kirsten was Murdered.
