Tadesse's diaries, were examined during the police investigation of the incident and can be obtained through the Freedom of Information Act.

Dunster House Master Karel F. Liem denied the allegations that the University mishandled the situation between Tadesse and Ho before the murder-suicide.

According to Thernstrom's article, the relationship between Tadesse and Ho had deteriorated to the point where they were no longer speaking.

Thernstrom writes, "Trang [Ho] told her sister she had asked...officials to change rooms [during last year], but the request was denied."

But Liem said that such a request for a room transfer was "not true."

Thernstrom refused to comment for this story
