Marysville Shooter's Ex-Girlfriend Fears Backlash Over Release Of Texts

The aunt of a teenage girl who dated the Marysville-Pilchuck High School shooter says releasing her text messages could inflame the community and haunt her for the rest of her life.

The Everett Herald KUOW and other media organizations have filed briefs advocating for the texts to be made public.

Her request is expected to be heard in Snohomish County Superior Court on Thursday.

Advocates for a teenage girl caught up in the investigation of last year’s shootings at Marysville-Pilchuck High School say releasing her personal text messages from that time would re-traumatize her and potentially subject her to threats and reprisals.

The girl did not attend the high school but was the former girlfriend of Jaylen Fryberg and friends with his victims.
