The Highland Park shooter shared a haunting picture of his teenage sex doll hanging herself in his closet online, a newly emerged image shows.
Robert 'Bobby' Crimo III posted the eerie shot of 'Sophie' from his 'Awake 47' account on the Documenting Reality website in June 2020.
The sick 21-year-old, who gunned down seven people in Illinois on July 4, captioned one of the images: 'I don't understand why. Sophie July 1, 2020 - July 22, 2020.'
He also sent dozens of racist rants against Jewish people, black people and Asian people on his page and denied the Holocaust ever happened.
Documenting Reality founder and site moderator Chris Wilson said he was cooperating with cops over the vile messages.
Crimo was charged with killing seven people at the Independence Day parade in Highland Park on Monday.
Yesterday he confessed to police he unleashed a hail of bullets from a rooftop in suburban Chicago and fled to the Madison, Wisconsin, area.
The killer then admitted that he contemplated shooting up a second event there, authorities said Wednesday.
Crimo was a frequent poster on the online forum Documenting Reality, where he used the moniker Awake 47 to share disturbing pictures and make racist and anti-Semitic remarks, the New York Post reported.
He would often share photos of himself along with footage of shootings and other instances of real-life violence, according to NPR.
He also used it to document his relationship with a teenage sex doll he named Sophie.
One picture from June 2020 shows the doll sitting in the front passenger's seat of his Acura 30CL with a seatbelt fastened.
The car also had a 'P**** Magnet' sticker on the rear windshield, at least four teddy bears in the back seat and a Donald Trump bobblehead attached to the rear dash.
The next month he shared a picture he entitled 'Sophie Killed Herself,' showing the doll hanging from his closet in a mock suicide.
'I don't understand why,' he wrote in the post, adding: 'Sophie July 1, 2020 - July 22, 2020.'
Additionally, Crimo posted several racist messages on the site in the days leading up to the mass shooting at Highland Park, Illinois.
In one, he seemed to question the legitimacy of the Holocaust, writing: 'The math is all scewed (sic). The logistics of 6m Jews doesn't make sense, but I'm just retarded.'
