On April 16, Marsh's friend inquired about the murders. Marsh again described the crime as the "best feeling in his life." He showed his friend several items, including the knife used to commit the murders and the gloves, ski cap, boots, and jacket he had worn during the murders. The friend later testified that he did not know how to respond. Marsh's friend and girlfriend spoke with each other about what Marsh had told them. However, they did not initially report the confessions to anyone else, as they feared Marsh. Marsh's friend eventually informed the school that Marsh was carrying a knife around campus, which resulted in Marsh's suspension.
