MIDDLETOWN, Conn. — Police investigating the shooting death of a Wesleyan University student found a copy of an infamous anti-Semitic book, “Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” in the hotel room of the suspected killer, according to court records.
The records also detail new writings attributed to Stephen Morgan two hours before the death of Johanna Justin-Jinich that read: “I have to kill Jenn. I think it’s OK to kill Jenn and kill the Jews at this school . . . The want and need to kill Jenn and the Jews is there.”
Morgan, 29, is accused of murdering Justin-Jinich, of Timnath, Colo., in a college bookstore cafe near Wesleyan on May 6.
Morgan, who authorities say met the victim at New York University in 2007, appeared at a brief court hearing yesterday.
