Police went to Rodger's apartment April 30 to conduct a wellness check after being contacted by members of Rodger's family who were concerned about disturbing videos he had posted on YouTube. Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown said that deputies had reported back that Rodger was shy, polite and said the Santa Barbara community college student had been having a difficult social life.
In a 140-page manifesto that police discovered in Rodger's apartment Saturday, the suspect writes that he told the police that the videos were a misunderstanding, but adds "If they had demanded to search my room ... That would have ended everything. For a few horrible seconds I thought it was all over."
Rodger claimed in his manifesto that he had begun considering his rampage on New Year's Day of this year. The shooting was supposed to be carried out in April, but Rodger had pushed it back due to illness.
