Nashville Christian school shooter had mysterious handwritten notes on her clothes, had a knife inscribed with her chosen name of Aiden and an anklet with the number 508407 etched on it
The Nashville Christian school shooter Audrey Hale had mysterious handwritten notes on her clothes, a knife inscribed with her chosen name of Aiden and an anklet with the number 508407 etched on it, an autopsy report revealed.
The report comes four months after the transgender shooter opened fire at The Covenant School - killing three adults and three children on March 27.
The autopsy revealed Hale's clothing were covered in 'handwritten words, drawings and numbers'. It's unclear what was written on her clothes.
The report also noted that Hale, 28, wore an orange plastic anklet with the mysterious inscription '508407.'
The autopsy was released as debate escalates over the decision to release the manifesto and other writings of Hale, which were recovered at the crime scene and at her parents' home.

The report noted that Hale identified as a transgender man but was listed as a female officially.
The medical examiner determined Hale's cause of death to be homicide by gunshot wounds.
The toxicological analysis found no detection of drugs or alcohol.
Hale opened fire at a Christian elementary school in Tennessee on the morning of March 27, killing six people including three nine-year-old students.
With an assault-style rifle in hand, Hale shot down the door of the Nashville area school and stalked the hallways before opening fire on her victims.
Hale murdered Hallie Scruggs, William Kinney, Evelyn Dieckhaus, all nine, and headmistress Dr Katherine Koonce, 60, substitute teacher Cynthia Peak, 61, and chef Mike Hill, 61.
She used three of seven legally purchased guns to carry out the shooting.
The transgender artist had a detailed map of the building and conducted surveillance outside The Covenant School she once attended, before carrying out the devastating massacre.

Police stormed the school 14 minutes after the shooting started and gunned down Hale in a mezzanine area. Dramatic bodycam footage captured the moment Officers Rex Engelbert and Michael Collazo brought the massacre to an end.
Hale was shot dead by police after staging her attack. Investigators released body camera footage showing police officers taking down Hale.
Police said she was transgender, and online used the pronouns 'he/his' - although they referred to Hale, who was born female, as 'she'.
Hale ran Audrey Hale Illustrations, and described her work as: 'Commercial Illustration and Graphic Design'.

Hale had planned the attack for months in advance and studied other mass murderers before killing six people, police have said.
Police said in April: 'In the collective writings by Hale found in her vehicle in the school parking lot, and others later found in the bedroom of her home, she documented, in journals, her planning over a period of months to commit mass murder at The Covenant School.
'The writings remain under careful review by the MNPD and the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit based in Quantico, Virginia.

Hale used several weapons during the massacre, including this AR-style rifle which had been personalized with a sticker and daubed with 'Aiden', the name used after Hale transitioned
'The motive for Hale's actions has not been established and remains under investigation by the Homicide Unit in consultation with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit.
Investigators found a suicide note, weapons, and ammunition in Hale's possession. A manifesto and map of the Covenant School were also among the items.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said in May that it would not release the manifesto pending litigation.
In June, a lawyer for the parents of Nashville school shooter Hale said a 'manifesto' found by investigators after the massacre would be handed to the families of students at the school.

The parents have stated that they do not want the manifesto released to the public.
The pledge, made public during a court hearing, comes amid an ongoing legal battle over whether the writings by Hale, who killed three children and three adults at the Covenant School on March 27, should be made public.
Lawyers for the victims' families and the school have argued against the release of the so-called manifesto, but others including some media outlets and the National Police Association say it should published.
