Coldcliff Police Station, October 24, 12:16 p.m.
OFFICER SCHULTZ: You realize what the boot print means. We have reason to believe you were there that night. That you and Ms. Cousins had been planning something together. If we obtain a warrant to search your computer, what would we find?
BECK: Probably a lot of porn.
OFFICER OLDMAN: Do you have anything else to say, Thomas?
BECK: Yeah. I need a cigarette.
OFFICER OLDMAN: Now isn’t the time for jokes. If you know something about Tabitha Cousins that the rest of us don’t, this is your opportunity to say it.
BECK: Yeah, I do have something to say. (long pause) She didn’t do anything wrong.

“Blue-Eyed Boyfriend Killer” pleads innocent to murder charge
By Talia Sims
Tabitha Cousins, 17, branded the “Blue-Eyed Boyfriend Killer” after the hiking death of her boyfriend, Mark Forrester, appeared in court yesterday to enter her plea. Cousins tearfully proclaimed her innocence and stated that she loved Forrester deeply. With a makeup-free face and her now-infamous blue eyes filled with tears, Cousins made an emotional statement that she had nothing to do with her boyfriend’s death, which shook the town of Coldcliff, Colorado, and has sent the nation into a tailspin.
“Ms. Cousins is determined that the truth will come out,” her lawyer, Marnie Deveraux, said in a statement to the press. “My client won’t respond to any other questions at this time.”
A GoFundMe page has been established by Forrester’s family to raise money for aspiring swimmers without financial means to receive coaching. Forrester, a NCAA titleholder for Princeton, was passionate about everyone having the opportunities he did.
While Forrester’s immediate family could not be reached for comment, Margot Reed, Forrester’s aunt, told People that his parents were not doing well in the aftermath of their son’s death.
“They’re struggling,” Reed said. “All because of that girl. And they never even met her. This girl they never knew ruined their lives.”
Cousins’s family declined our request for an interview.

Sparkles: Wow, could this article be more biased toward the poor privileged white boy? How many times do you have to mention he was a swimmer? WE GET IT.
MinutesUP: LOL I was thinking the same thing
Pop_Canzz: Yup. I think Talia Sims has a hard-on for the dead PRINCETON STUDENT (did you guys know he went to Princeton?)
PaintItBlack: You should have seen some of the stuff she posted on Insta what a slut, not surprised the ex BF is involved, sure she opened her legs for that guy and got what she wanted too
Swifty01: Everyone needs to stop pretending like they’re detectives and FFS stop slut shaming a girl you don’t even know.

When push comes to shove
By Oberon Halton
Here’s a plot twist for you! In a video posted to The Button yesterday, two people—supposedly Tabitha Cousins and Mark Forrester—were recorded at a party arguing, and at one point, the girl appears to be shoved into the railing of a deck. It’s hard to tell if the girl is actually Tabby and the guy Mark. If you read the comments on The Button—and we all live for the comments, right?—you’ll see that most people do believe it’s Tabby, but they think the guy is someone other than Mark. You can really see him only from behind, and let’s face it, Mark Forrester was a tall white guy with brown hair, and how common are those?
“I was there that night,” a source revealed. “She was flirting with every guy. She and Mark were arguing all night and she kept blowing him off to talk to Beck Rutherford.”
Beck Rutherford, who seems to have spawned his own collection of followers around the world (it’s the hair, I think), is most certainly not the guy in the video. However, I received an interesting tip claiming that Beck and Mark had an altercation at the same party, although it’s unclear whether this was related to whatever takes place in the video.
A perceptive reader also pointed out that the girl in the video—presumably Tabby—goes back to kissing the guy shortly after she hits the railing. Perhaps a lover’s spat with Mark? Or with somebody else?
