I wasnt Popular and Kirsten liked me and was nice to me. I do remember all the stories before and after the killing. For what? She looked like a nice person that had a good life ahead of her. Bernadette was clearly very sick and disturbed, yet you appear to be minimizing or even excusing Kirstens murder by referring to Bernadette as a fragile human being, and writing Society in the richest places raise their children to be obnoxious and unbearable little freaks who will at some point push a normal person to the brink. Do I think it was premeditated. She doesnt even want any former BFFs knowing her location anymore. How did Kirsten push Bernadette so far? Bernadettes parents also left Orinda, but its unknown if they left the state of California. I dont understand why Kirsten Costas was portrayed as a pretty girl or how she even was some one to be jealous of. Wow all this bantering back and forth how sad. God would want you to forgive, Kirsten would as well. She got a short sentence because she was tried as a minor. Even if she was, no right to murder her. Were not sympathizing with you, (grow up and get over it) Theyre not going to beg you to come, and if you dont want to be found cause your life was miserable, were not really interested in finding you and apologizing. Bernadette was far out of line I agree. Bernadette protti longed to be popular and she decided to kill an innocent person just because she couldnt have things get way.thats sad. She didnt Bully Bernadette, Just was irritated cause she lied to her, and her mom about the Party, and all. I hear she disguised herself when she comes to Orinda wears shades over her eyes, and lives behind a long lane (mom does). You appear to be making up scenarios in your head about Bernadettes life and have difficulty differentiating fact from fiction. That Movie had Tori Spelling kind of a Bully. That dont Justify Murder. She was the (In crowd) Bernadette was desiring to be the incrowd. She was jealous of Kirsten and wanted to be everything Kirsten was, but could nt so she killed her. Talking peoples business again, McDonald may not like her name being used. Cause Bernadette was stuck up to, or thats how Bernadette appeared. You sympathize with a murderer and deliberately perpetuate lies about her victim under different aliases, yet you are telling someone else to get help? (Yes at times) Kirsten teased Bernadette, but they were still mutually acquainted Bernadette never could figure out why she thought she was a Bullied failure. Dont matter if those 2 were mean and Bullies, no right to murder them, that went to far. If Bernadette had considered Kirstens familys feelings at all, she wouldnt have stolen Kirsten from them by brutally murdering her. Her BFF I think is also real sick, shes down to nothing. People make their own reputation and choices in life whether they are bad or good. Parents sign an agreement to spend $500 to pay for green and white uniforms and cheerleading camp. What about its about time, the one who knew Kirsten? Angela DelVecchio, APRN, FNP Care Philosophy: "Keep moving! It weirded Kirsten out. The 2nd version of Death of a Cheerleader is more like Kirsten to a degree. 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. Society in the richest places raise their children to be obnoxious and unbearable little freaks who will at some point push a normal person to the brink,so whatever happens is something they are a part of as well as the person they have pushed. I heard Bernadette was Snobbish also as well. Kirsten was a true Social Butterfly, always joking with others, talking with others, We werent friends but I liked Kirsten and all those girls. She had moments, and she told her feelings about people. Bernadette then drove Kirsten to an empty car-park and appears to have confessed feelings of admiration for her. Im sure Kirsten had her moments, no right to be Savagely Murdered. Stuck up she was, no Bully. Thats my belief. That Dee if it is who I think she was always in trouble and never listened. Not when she was bullied and pushed to her limit!! Joe she must of liked your Sister. You can also get our free newsletter, follow us on Facebook & Pinterest. Though mortally wounded, she ran to Arthur Hillmans house across the street for help. Theres other Measures to take other than Murder. She wont tell where shes at, cause to many people have it out for her cause of her past. Neither does a lot of former classmates. Blaming Kirstens parents for her death is the epitome of classlessness and disrespect. Well as I said its like that in any School, I think high school is a setting where everyone is competing and wanting to race tot he top and cut down anyone who gets in thier way. They had Bernadette as a suspect and only give her a lie detector test? We were never the same after that, Miramonte was never the same after that. "[3] When Costas could not reach her parents by telephone, Alex Arnold drove her home, noticing that the Protti family's Pinto was following them. She dared to say she could not commit suicide because her religion would not allow it, but did not take into consideration the life of Kirstens! John even if Kirsten was as mean as Tori Spelling (which BTW she wasnt) that is still no right to Murder her. I always noticed Bernadette would give Kirsten stares and mean looks at times. They might not win but they can make a case for smearing the name of their daughter if indeed she was not a bully. Theres no excuse for murder. Bernadettes BFF. Youre not looking at that Situation. Either way, it doesnt matter because Bernadette is a bitch, which is more important any day than looks. They had to leave school. That Movie was truly (one sided) and people are just going by off that Movie, and maybe Kirsten did say some mean things to other People, but who hasnt! What happened to a lot of those girls fro Kirstens group? Same for Bernadette, but she had to make this choice that will change her life. She acted like Kirsten except Kirsten was (more funny). I would suggest that you should be able to distinguish between a fictional depiction and reality, but judging from your comments it is clearly beyond your capacity to do so. As for the Shoes one time comment. Youre not now Bullying a dead girl, makes you worse than her, you will be the one to Answer for it, not her, she already has, Bernadette sure isnt any Angel shes a Cold Blooded Killer, dont care what her reasons are, she is the Bully, and Kirsten is the Victim. Or someone who stares at you constantly, you got a problem doing that. Same for Karen Severson and Laura Doyle theyre cold blooded killers to, Missy was Kirstens age, this happened not long after Kirsten was Murdered. This is exactly why the Columbine shooting happened, and why these things happen in the first place. My honest opinion on this is that I think that Kirsten didnt deserve to die. You the one who told about the girls ran out of Miramonte as well. Kirsten wasnt a bully. Kirsten wasnt a Bully, she was Conceited and stuck up. Cause Bernadette was so obsessed with Kirsten liking her, she had some idea it was Bernadette, also Bernadette owned a Pinto same make as the car seen speeding away. To this day I remember those girls well. She was Strange to. What is horrible is how pathetic Bernadette was to begin with. Her family were upper-middle class, not multi millionaires. [citation needed], Costas' murder was featured in season 5 of Deadly Women, season 1, episode 3, of Investigation Discovery's The 1980's: The Deadliest Decade, and an episode of Killer Kids titled Rumors & The To-Do List. Read the facts of the case instead of perpetuating lies that Kirsten pushed Bernadette or that she bullied Bernadette. Probally Berns Relatives saying all that, or, very close friends. Did you know the 2 Accussed? They probably rubbed her the wrong way, or got on her nerves somehow. Others are not so lucky. The girl who said Missy Availa was the meanest girl she ever knew and was her Worst Bulky, youre no better, let the dead rest. Rest In Peace Kirsten. She let it be known. You need to get help for that, sweetie. I never thought she would go as far as murder. Im sure she does, look at her life, and where shes been, and how the media harasses her, not saying she dont deserve it, which she does, but if she is sick, then leave her alone. Killing her just because you were jealous? Even if her friend was bullying dont give right to take life. About seventeen years ago, Arthur and Berit Costas moved from Oakland to Orinda seeking a beautiful, safe community with good schools. We all as teens said something smart to someone or hurt someones feelings. People, cant we all just get along and respect one anothers opinion? Nurturers dont kill people. . we all need to teach our children to respect the feelings of others. The movie eve swapped their hair colours you cant take it too seriously although it did iclude certain claims of Beradettes like that Kirsten commented on Bernadette having cheap ski boots although all she said was that Bernadette made some comment not even what the comment was and that Kirstens voice was unexcited when she saw it was Bernadette. Calling her a B and saying she dressed nice in an interview. Later, she married her husband and is now officially known to the world as Jeannette Tomanka. Kirsten is the true victim in this case. A little over an hour later, an agitated Kirsten rang the bell at a strangers door. ( Some did) I did cause it was getting ridiculous. She wasnt a fan of stupidity or annoyance, or someone rubbed her the wrong way, she let them know. She said Bernadette was kind of Snooty also. Bernadette really should have left her alone. I believe the conversation was very bizarre to, about desperation of a friendship. I know a gal who knew someone who knew Kirsten. I do believe she didnt like outcasts like Nancy and Joanna there. Kirsten was described as a cheerful girl by classmates, and I do believe for the most part, she got along with most her classmates and school mates. How is sweet referred to Murder? Well based on the movie Yeah, thats your problem. They obviously made some bad decisions and theres repurcussions for your poor decisions, thats not Kirstens fault, you mad that decisions, not Kirsten. Bern wasnt one of them, in fact, (as I said) she was well liked and in with a lot of the i crowd.

This will always be a tragic story that will never be forgotten, I certainly never wanted that to happen to Kirsten or anyone,she was a daughter, sister and friend to many. Shes still a Murderer and will never be anything but, as long as shes Alive, I wont forgive her for it, and neither will Kirstens family and friends. Good luck dear. She always loved Cheerleading. She lured Kirsten out of her house under false pretences to the non existent sorority dinner and then drove Kirsten to an empty car-park at night. The case is extremely old now. We are all different. An example that shows that Bernadette didnt have respect for Kirstens family and shows how detached Bernadette was from killing Kirsten was that she appeared to have no inhibitions about attending Kirstens funeral. They laughed, I think Kirsten was only teasing Nancy and Joanna they didnt mean any harm with it. I was happy enough at school without popularity. If you were snubbed at Miramonte, maybe you caused your own reactions. She looks like she would have lit up a room. Kirsten probaly spotted she wasnt all there and was going to out her on it. She can kick that ball to the moon. Some say she was Stuck up, but not a Bully. If the person that Tori spelling played in that movie Was indeed Kristen Costas attitude toward other students then anybody couldve seen this coming. You act dumb you wont fit in (anywhere). In order to get into the Bobbies you had to have money. The girl with the football players heard she was ran out on her ear and laughed out of there to. I wasnt crazy about Kirsten Carrie, Christine and the rest, I knew how I personally beleive Kirsten could be a smart aleck to those she didnt like, but remember most teenage girls are. As for Kirsten making fun of outcasts, I agree every school has outcasts. She clearly wasnt happy with them and their old, unfashionable selves either, adding that they didnt give her, their 6th child, the attention she so desperately wanted. If Bernadette killed Kirsten because she was bullied and put down by her, why didnt she give examples at her trial which would have strengthened her case? It has changed a bit in Backyard Hockey because in the older games, her outfit looks like overalls. People even went as far as to say that it was a murder that was triggered by PCP or was motivated by Satanism. they all were, taking a life is unacceptable and inexcusable. I think you take things way to personal like Bernadette did, I believe MissKiwi Bernadette took things so serious that it became serious and a fatal obsession. You wrote in another comment , Kristen had it well deserved. Read the article, read more on the actual case, stop judging real people based on a low-budget lifetime movie. It'snot too hard to believe that the "it" actors in young Hollywood - especially those who worked the TV movie-of-the-week circuit - were friendly or had been co-workers previously. Bernadette was a Snob also. How did you talk and act around those girls, ask yourself that! Lot of weirdos on this thread. No such articles exist about anything you have described. She knows how people still feel about her, she also knows she cant escape the feelings they have or ever change them even in many years to come forth. Get a Life please. As for Bernadette, I didnt know her well, but said hello to her a few times in passing at school, and when she came to get the attendance slips. She practiced constantly at home in the family room and sometimes at Diane MacDonalds house, in front of the windows at night, to see her reflection. I pray Bernadette is repayed and rewarded by the Blessed Trinity for the horrendous act towards the Costas. Kirstens future was right there in front of her staring her in the face, like the prom, graduation and deciding what College she would of been going to and getting married and having Children. Additionally, the Bernadette character was portrayed as sweet and innocent, while a sexy twenty-something Tori Spelling played the part of the 15 year old Kirsten.
