FBI Releases Hale Writings Referencing Federal Student Aid in Weapons Plans

Reporters say a ledger referencing federal student aid appears to support parents' earlier claim about grant funds.

Overview

  • More than 100 pages of Audrey Elizabeth Hale’s writings were released by the FBI following litigation, including journal entries believed to date to late 2021.
  • The materials include a handwritten page labeled “Account Savings Record” that references FAFSA and Pell grant checks alongside notes on firearms to acquire.
  • Ledger-style entries cite specific amounts and payments linked to Nossi College of Art and Design, with one line noting “FASFA [sic] grant checks started at $2,050.86.”
  • Hale’s parents reportedly told investigators in 2023 that Pell Grant money funded the firearms, a claim reporters say the newly released ledger appears to corroborate.
  • Authorities continue to withhold the full manifesto even as portions show planning details, a stated grievance against a Christian school, and a pre-attack text describing a “suicide mission.”
