Officers responded and worked closely with school officials reviewing the notes and surveillance footage at the school identifying multiple investigative leads.

Staff and investigators located seven notes throughout the facility. They were written on sticky notes and stated: “Sinagua should be bombed”, “By students of Mrs. Poppin”, “ETLF should die”, “Without my mom I’d kill Sinagua F**K You”, “Boom”, “Mr. Kriesel sucks”, and “Why would kids go”. ETL stands for “Elect to Learn” and is an afterschool detention program.
On 4-5-2017, Investigators and school staff conducted multiple interviews with investigative leads in reference to this case. During one of these interviews a thirteen year old female student admitted leaving the notes because she was upset when she received “ETL”.
Although the notes did not make any specific threats to individuals they are concerning. Police have consulted with Coconino County Attorney’s Office.
