THE MURDER OF COLLEEN RITZER
•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•Colleen Ritzer (24) was working as a well-loved math teacher at Danvers High School in Massachusetts. She was known to really connect with her students and stay after school later hours to help tutor those who were struggling with the material.
On October 22nd, 2013, she asked one of her students, Philip Chism (14), to stay after school to talk to her. He had just moved from Clarksville, Tennessee and was fairly shy. Another student in the classroom that was there being tutored said that Chism got visibly upset when Ms. Ritzer tried to start a conversation about Tennessee. When she noticed that Chism was disturbed, she attempted to change the topic. The exact reason as to why he got upset is unknown, but it is suspected that it triggered thoughts of his parents' divorce.
Just before 3:00pm, Ms. Ritzer headed to the bathroom. Minutes later, Chism also left the classroom. Surveillance cameras captured him walking toward the women's bathroom with his hood concealing most of his face.
