James Helm

Now, in the year 2000, shortly after these violent thoughts began to pop into James's head, he got some unfortunate news. His parents decided that they were ready to move back to San Diego. This time, it was Arlene's parents who were sick. And luckily for them, Bob was even offered a job in San Diego, so it was an opportunity they couldn't pass up.

But this time around, moving was a lot harder for James. At 12 years old, his whole life was in Salinas. He already had his friend group established. He was familiar with his school and he was involved in different sports. But one night, his parents sat them down and told them they were leaving.

And to make matters worse, there were only two weeks left of school and James wouldn't be able to finish out the school year with his classmates. No end of the year parties, no summer neighborhood hangouts or anything. He would now have to start his life over in a city where he didn't know anyone.

After moving to San Diego, James was really struggling. Without any friends in the city, he spent that summer completely isolated. He would later say that other than spending time with his family, he mostly sat alone in his bedroom closet reading books. He also played video games and watched television. His mother encouraged him to play with the neighborhood kids, but he didn't show any interest.

Then, soon enough, the school year began. James was starting the 7th grade. Now, according to him, he did make some friends who invited him to play a game called Magic the Gathering. He was grateful to be invited into the group, but he said that he felt really awkward around them.

One of the boys from this group would later say, Jimmy was very quiet, very soft-spoken, not warming up or even talking to you until you get to know him. James himself said that he was painfully awkward around this time.

He said that he often turned to video games for an escape, and at home, his parents noted that he was irritable and unwilling to talk to them, which is pretty common around this age. But his mother Arlene said that he couldn't even talk to people on the telephone. Every time the phone was handed over to him, he would just freeze up, unwilling to speak.

She would even make him scripts to use during the phone calls, but still, he couldn't do it.
