Christina Grimmie gunman ‘had fixation’ with The Voice star

Loibl described Grimmie as his “soul mate” and told Dennington that he’d lost 50 pounds, gotten LASIK surgery and hair implants and his teeth whitened to improve his appearance for her, the report said.

Dennington told Orlando detectives that Loibl spent most of his time watching Grimmie on YouTube and that he constantly monitored her social media accounts. Dahl decribed Loibl as “socially awkward, detached”. Loibl worked “in the back” of the store, where he did not interact with customers. According to the police report, he became defensive when friends presented the idea that Grimmie would not return his feelings.

All the weapons Loibl used were purchased legally, but his family, friends and co-workers did not know he had them, investigators said.

Dahl told detectives he saw Loibl watching the singer’s YouTube videos at work, but never spoke with him about his behavior. “Not sure what to do, I chose to honor her the only way I know how”, Perkins tells Rolling Stone. The manager said Loibl had checked in the night before the concert, arriving by cab about 1:30 p.m., and struck the manager as “strange”.

After the concert, Grimmie signed autographs for dozens of fans who stood in line after the concert.

Loibl also bragged to his co-workers about playing online games with Grimmie – a claim police could not verify.

Grimmie’s brother, Marcus, was seated at a merchandise table nearby and grabbed Loibl. He shot and killed Grimmie on June 10 before turning the gun on himself.

An autopsy showed Grimmie was shot once in the side of her head and three times the torso.

According to the co-worker, Cory Dennington, Loibl’s obsession started six months to a year before the shooting.

As Loibl’s obsession grew, his grasp of reality began to slip, Dennington told detectives. Also, his computer was not working, “and it appeared Loibl had intentionally destroyed the hard drive”.

The Orlando Police have concluded their investigation into the pop star’s murder and released the information they believe is relevant.
