She is so dorky looking
I second the "dorky-looking" comment.
I wonder what poor Kirsten would look like today.
Probably beautiful...
I agree. Berit Costas is a gorgeous woman even into her 60s. Kirsten looked like her mom.
Thanks for posting. The person that I initially thought was her wasn't her at all.

Seeing this eejit makes me feel all the more sadder for Kirsten and her family.
People thought she was pretty who only saw pictures from the papers of her blonde hair. This is prof that she is not an attractive person. Kirsten was beautiful.
I think she looks very nice.
Too many people think blonde = attractive. It doesn't. Kirsten was a thousand times prettier.
Lori, you must be a psycho.

Lori is a family member of the Tomanka's using fake profiles. I'm about to out that clown bitch
Is she? There is something wrong with her for supporting that murderer. I read that Kirsten was stabbed twice in the back when she was already struggling on the ground from her stab wounds. Sick individual. Why should you protect this twonk?
Bernadette, as you are a Catholic, you can't erase the fact that you broke the worst commandment "thou shalt not kill". In your loony mind you probably think that if you forgive yourself, your god will forgive you too and you should therefore be left alone. I read an article that a member of the parole board didn't agree with your release because he thought you still exhibited behaviour that would make you a danger to the public. People have a right to know who you are if you are mentally unstable.
I wonder how someone who murders another person in cold blood lives with themselves. That's what I think when I see her picture.
She's not even a real blonde, anyway. Homegirl's Italian.
Just watched the movie for first time, they said 1st degree murder could not be proven. But she is a 1st degree liar she had many opportunities to confess. She did the crime now do the time 7 years please that family were given a death sentence..
Bernadette, please read the next post. This was well written!! You are still dangerous and your posts only amplify that(not difficult to recognize these posts are you). Also "Jesus H Christ" is using the Lord's name in vain. The parole office who did not want to see you released also described you as someone with deep rooted and unresolved jealousy. Some of your posts even describe your crime as being justified, indirectly, due to Kirsten's "bullying". Why on earth would you even want to be accepted by someone who you describe as "so mean and hurtful"? You stalked her. She tried to get away from you. She made ONE slighted comment to you. She trusted you to get into a car with you. You use biblical quotes to try and wart off people who voice their opinion about you. God does forgive. Sin is sin. This is true. But the Bible does not just state "don't judge". God wants us to recognize sin and call it out as we see it to not repeat it. I know my sins. But I am not a threat to society. Your Youtube videos are so empty and so shallow. I pray for you and feel strongly about your story being shown and what a crime it was to use bullying as your defense. What a horrifying experience it must have been to be brutally stabbed 5 times and die that kind of pain. Unfortunately I think your a sociopath and probably would not change even in prison but at least justice would be served and people would be safe.
A JEALOUS PERSON IS A DANGEROUS PERSON:
On the surface, the differences between Bernadette Protti (2nd photo) and Kirsten Costas (1st photo) were superficial. They both lived in a well-to-do area of Northern California outside Berkeley, were good students and athletes at Miramonte High School and active in their communities.
Sure, Bernadette’s family wasn’t as well-off as a lot of the kids in school, and while 15-year-old Kirsten was considered quite popular and a member of the “elite clique,” Bernadette had friends and was generally accepted by the school population. Bernadette was accepted and popular in her own way,” a classmate once said. “But she had this obsession with being liked. I could never understand why she thought she wasn’t. Underneath, however, Bernadette’s inferiority complex was slowly and surely taking over her psyche. She began to displace her feelings by blaming Kirsten, who was described by friends as “pretty” and “vibrant,” for her own sense of inadequacy.
Eventually, this instability would cause her to lash out at the person she felt responsible for her failures. In Bernadette’s twisted mind, there was only one way to improve her sense of self-worth and that was by removing the physical manifestation of her pain — Kirsten Costas. It isn’t possible to fix a time when Bernadette’s complex took over and dictated her homicidal impulses. There were a series of events which led up to Kirsten’s murder, and just which was the final straw is unknown and irrelevant.
Both Kirsten and Bernadette belonged to a high-school service organization known as the Bob-o-Links or the “Bobbies” which resembled a sorority. As their sophomore school year ended, the girls both tried out for the varsity cheerleading squad. Kirsten made it; Bernadette did not. “I didn’t make it and I can’t believe it,” she told a friend. Bernadette suffered another setback when she was rejected for membership in the Atlantis Club, another exclusive organization and was not selected to work on the school’s yearbook.
Kirsten became the expression of Bernadette’s “failure” and the insecure 15-year-old fixated on a passing remark Kirsten made to her on a ski trip earlier in the year. “She never liked me. The thing that got me mad was that it hurt,” Bernadette told police after she was arrested for killing Kirsten. “She just said stuff that made me feel bad.” The girls were skiing and Bernadette, the daughter of a retired public servant, was using “this really crummy pair of skis and some boots. I was having fun anyway, and she made some comment about them.” On June 22, 1984, while Kirsten was at a cheerleading camp, a young woman called her home and spoke with Kirsten’s mother. The girl told Berit Costas that Kirsten was invited to a secret Bob-o-Links initiation dinner the next night. When Kirsten returned home the next day, she was told of the dinner and made plans to attend. On the night of June 23, the other members of the Costas family prepared to head to the baseball game where Kirsten’s brother was playing. Berit Costas told her daughter to enjoy herself at the dinner and to remember to turn on the porch light. The Costases would never see Kirsten alive again.
Here is the link to the rest of the article. http://panachereport.com/channels/more%20short%20stories/JealousDangerous.htm
Please note that the article states that Bernadette was 15 when in fact she was 16. Also, my comment in regards to judging others is not meant to insinuate judging in a lynch mob mentality but to be able to discuss and debate a murder in which, in my opinion, justice was not served.
A lot people feel justice wasn't served.The Panache Report is a great website.
Now that she has a daughter i wonder how she would feel if something like that happened to her daughter. .....hmmmm...smh. she should still be in jail!!!!!
The link below is another good read! It discusses the reality of jealous people and how people who kill out of jealousy don't go after bullies, they go after the people they are jealous of. The prosecution in the case against Bernadette should have centered their case around facts such as this, backed up with peer reviewed journals, psychologists and more specific's of her family life. I realize the data used today in cases like this are more advanced but the prosecution was too hung up on making a name for themselves. With this information and other cases of juveniles getting life in prison, Bernadette might still be in jail. If Bernadette was so devastated on how she was "bullied" by Kirsten, I wonder if Kirsten would have accepted her and "liked" her how Bernadette would feel about her "bullying" others? I would submit to you she would have all of a sudden been OK with Kirsten's so called "being mean". The one thing that was based on fact in that Lifetime movie was that Kirsten only said ONE slighted comment towards her and that part of the movie was embellished as the writer of the movie omitted anything that people said that observed Kirsten and Bernadette that would be in Kirsten's favor. I digress, bullying had NOTHING to do with the murder of Kirsten and that needs to be revisited in a court of law.
http://www.2knowmyself.com/why_do_people_become_jealous
Bernadette Protti was a wannabe social climber. Just look at her now-the blog she writes and her FB page.
That's all she is, Susan! Jeannette uses this food blog to try to hide who she is but sorry jeannette there are court documents and we were all gonna find out later anyways. I say jeannette needs to come forth apologize and I feel like justice wasn't served because 7 years is a light sentence.
Crazy psycho!!! She is free to live life and get married, have kids, get an education, spend time with family during holidays! I can see why the costas moved away from california because the justice system is crooked they gave a murderer a light sentence and the costas have to suffer the rest of their lives while their daughter is dead. Kirsten isn't here to defend herself so I will be her voice. Bernadette/ Jeanette should still be sitting in prison where she should rot for life for what she did because anyone else would be and I don't think it's fair that she is out and free to do whatever
Her FB page with all her little words of wisdom makes me gag. Too bad she blocked me from posting-she does that to anyone who tries to expose her.
I wonder if she ever got any help for her inferiority complex and anger management.
Jeannette Tomanka is a lying psychotic killer. She might as well just come out and be an example of what not to do
If you re-read ALL of the original newspaper accounts (which ARE posted on line, or go on "murderpedia.com) the FBI did a profile of the killer of Kirsten Costas, and they said Bernadette Protti/Jeannette Tomanka fit the profile to an ABSOLUTE TEE. It says that "She felt justified in killing Kirsten", "She felt NO remorse", and "She would show more emotion ONLY about the possibility of GETTING CAUGHT, NOT about committing the MURDER, AND that Bernadette "knew that the FBI was closing in on her, and that at some point she HAD to confess". Jeannette Tomanka is a CLASSIC case of the Psychological Defect known as "Borderline Personality Disorder". Jeannette lives a very nice life now in Grapevine, Texas. Nobody in her neighborhood/community knows about her violent murderous past, she lives in over a half a million dollar home, she doesn't have to work, and she has all of her sisters sitting on the computer all day, going to these types of websites, and LYING by saying that Bernadette was a VICTIM of "Bullying" by Kirsten Costas. A COMPLETE LIE: Furthermore, if you read the old newspaper articles, there is a section that says that "Bernadette lured Kirsten in her car, and they talked in the for about 30 minutes, and that Kirsten got completely FREAKED out, and literally ran out of the car, away from Bernadette." Bernadette told the FBI agent that "she was "terrified" of Kirsten telling others at school what Bernadette had told Kirsten in the car and Bernadette "Had to Stop her" from revealing the conversation." Hmmmm, I wonder what Bernadette said to Kirsten. You can easily guess. Bernadette was OBSESSED with Kirsten; jealous of her, but wanted to be just like her and be near her: just use your imagination of what Bernadette told Kirsten!!! And then Bernadette/Jeannette jumped out of the car and was a complete COWARD, and stabbed Kirsten REPEATEDLY in THE BACK first, and then her Chest, neck, arms, etc. Bernadette was like a frenzied murderous DOG!! People with Bernadette/Jeannette's mental disorder DO NOT change, folks!!!
Well stated Anonymous. People with this mental disorder do not change. She was released based on a total lie. The court was lenient because she was "bullied" and the "tremendous pressure of being number one". So what if being number one is emphasized. And the facts are there was no bullying. I think we have all posted enough information to disprove that myth. Now I am just waiting for Bernadette or her lying sister to try and bully me since I am not hiding my name!! Kirsten should have put a restraining order on Bernadette. Bernadette stalked her and that's a fact.
I don't think Kirsten knew she was being stalked by this psycho.
She definitely did not know. All the more reason the "bullying" theory does not fit into the equation. The mere fact that she got into the car with her proves that. I just wish she would have known just how dangerous Bernadette was and still is.
People with or without a mental illness, can be a cold evil murderer not just people with a mental illness and even people with bernadettes mental illness are not all sick twisted killer's. Mental illness affects all walks of life the good and in this case the sick and twisted. Don't tar everyone with a mental disorder with the same brush.
The Nancy Kane interview is up
The above post did not say that everyone with Personality Disorder kills. The poster said this killer has the traits. The poster also stated that people with Personality Disorder that KILL don't change. The poster does not say that specifically but you must actually read it to understand it. And typically, people with Personality Disorder do not change, no matter what their transgressions are. That is a fact.
There is lot's of different personality disorders out there. Not just one.
Which type of personality disorder are you the trained qualified expert in?
"Anonymous/Virginia Protti Varela: " You KNOW your sister has SEVERE mental disorders; Can you go AWAY please??!!
Hey Virginia, or Bernadette, the post is discussing Borderline Personality Disorder. Not random personality disorders. I do have a BA in Psychology however, one can read many peer reviewed medical scientific journals to get the facts. But of course you won't do that because the information would hit too close to home for you..............
The people living around Bernadette have a right to know who she is.
Bernie looks like a white female version of urkel.
Bernie looks like a white female version of urkel, or in her case-- Burkel, or the more fitting-- Jurkel.
This comment has been removed by the author.
She looks like Edith Bunker
I don't see it. She reminds me of the big yellow bird on sesame street but just not as sexy. Mmmmmm .....Big bird.
She looks like Beaker from the muppets.
Where does Chaz Bono fit in all of this?
Chaz Bono is transgender. Are you saying that Bernie looks transgender? I don't get it.
She looks like Josephine Richardson.
If you look at the thesis on Course Hero it describes Bernadette Jeanette as being bottom heavy, pasty skinned, and having a short chin. No wonder she was so jealous of the murder victim who was much more attractive and petite.
Is there only one thesis on Course Hero about this case?
Must be a long commute every day for her husband from Oregon to Grapevine, Texas. She claims to live in Oregon on her FB page.
He must teleport from Portland to Texas.
Such a shame what happend to kristen her killer SHOULD HAVE GOT LIFE in prison in my eyes you take someones life you get life for those sticking up for her killer your all sick in the head!!!!
You wrote something completely different on youtube on a thread I am on.
Where are her eyebrows lol are they bleached!!!!
Happy Birthday Kirsten. May your parents and your brother find comfort. Love & Light, Bless All of You.
The eyebrows look like they have been bleached to death. She has a habit of doing things to death.... stabbing Kirsten to death...bleaching eyebrows to death....lying to death about her involvement in Kirsten's murder. She is a dirty bird.
Bernatte is beyond selfish by having children. What child wants to find out that their mother is a murderer who killed an innocent child for no reason?! The truth always comes out so Bernadette has made innocent victims of her own children. Also, Bernadette will lose ALL credibility in her children's eyes. Karma's a b*tch and so is Bernadette & her selfish choice to have children is going to bit her in the arse!
Wow, you ladies are brutal. Yes, she killed Kirsten and she should still be in prison. But the comments regarding her looks are caddy and shallow. Must you all be so downright mean?
Only a few comments mentioned her looks. Most did not.
Stupid DUMBO,!! Poor Kirsten she was adorable just watch tv show about her murder so sad
Its nice to come across people with sense.
I went to Miramonte and was in the same class as Benedette and Kirsten. I was a bobolink member. I had PE with Bernadette. The movie is just that..a Hollywood exaggeration for entertainment. Everyone at that school (and probably at every other HS) was judged, bullied, left out, made fun of, dumped, lost a friend at some point and time. I know I was. I know people made remarks about my crazy family too. It didn't ruin my life or make me want to kill someone.
It is a huge jump to go from that normal HS teenage behavior to stabbing someone to death over however many comments Kirsten did or did not make. It doesn't matter and would not turn a sane person into a killer. It's insane to think Kirsten bullied Bernadette into stabbing her to death.
When I see Kirsten's picture in my HS yearbook, and look at my picture (as well as all the other girls) we all have that kiss of youth on our faces. I think of myself at that age and all the things Kirsten missed between then and now. It is very sad. Really sad.
I also never thought Nancy Kane had anything to do with it, and people were total assholes to her. I tried to stick up for her, but should have more. I was young and didn't know how to help her because people were so angry and not rational about losing Kirsten. The whole situation comes down to a young girl, who lost her life and a family who lost their daughter and sister..not about anything else.
You should see the "brutal" people on the Manson Family boards. Not the murderers - the people who post mean comments about them! You ought to head over there and defend them from "caddy [sic] and shallow" comments. Can't have people being mean to murdering psychopaths. Pointing out Bernadette the Butcher's beastly features is brutal and mean. Slaughtering a 15-year-old girl with an 18" knife doesn't even compare. #AmoralMoron
It's a valid topic of conversation. Profile photos show how hideous Bernadette/Jeannette Tomanka truly is. It's very likely that Bernadette compared her manly face to Kirsten's petite delicate facial features and was even further enraged.
I cannot believe how vicious, cruel, heartless and completely itrational you all are. No one wants to be a murderer. No one wants to be hated and despised. Bernadette was in an almost psychotic depression. For some reason, all of the triggers from our society and social circles bombarded an insecure young woman and led her to believe she would never attain the heights nor score the achievements as Kirsten. Bernadette could not love herself as she could not find any strengths in her character or achievements. Such a shame and such a loss. Bernadette had a great deal of potential. She just didn't think so of herself.
What the hell is wrong with the latest commentators? Are you f***ing insane? There is no excuse for what Bernadette did. Her supposed depression didn't give her the right to murder Kirsten. A lot of people have rough times, but thankfully don't take it out on other people by murdering them. I'm sure all wasn't rosey in Kirsten's life either. The grass is always greener on the other side. You people defending Bernadette are as sick as she was.
Unfortunately, Bernadette didn't like herself. No, murdering Kirsten was completely inexcusable. Having been the fat and bullied kid in my high school, I completely understand her mindset.
Who are you to judge anyone? What makes you so freaking wonderful?
What qualifies you as someone capable of diagnosing sick? You have a lofty opinion of yourself.
I had intended to respond to your other comments last week (if that was you) but didn't have the time. I don't have the time at the moment to write you a proper response, but I just wanted to ask you a few questions.
What exactly is it that you identify with? The Bernadette in the movie or the real Bernadette? What bullying do you identify with and can you give examples of the bullying Bernadette apparently endured because she certainly couldn't at her murder trial.
You know her mindset? So, did you have jealousy issues you sought professional help for? Did you have an inferiorty complex? Were you intelligent, generally accepted by the school population,accepted into an "exclusive" social club, but still not satisfied? Were you obsessed with another girl in school to the point of concocting a ruse to lure her out of her house alone? I'm interested to read what it is you identify with.
Italians can have blonde hair and blue eyes... My brother in law does.
I completely agree. Justice was NOT served
It appears that Bernadette/Jeanette has had at least 2 nose jobs over the years.
Bernadette was a victim of bullying by kirsten costas.
VVintercearig, no she wasn’t bullied at all ( Bernadette) that is. You’re going by that putrid movie with Tori Spelling who played the “mean girl” bully. You need to get your facts straight before you get on here spouting off your mouth cause you clearly know noting at all.
Also if you want to know the true facts, go through and read my comments and other comments from Kirsten’s classmates. I done put out about Kirsten all I’m putting out so if you want to know then go through other pages and read my comments. I’m only going to tel, you this once, “ Kirsten was more like the girl in the 2 Nd movie made” watch that 2 Nd movie and you will get a good basic idea of how Kirsten truly was, she was funny like that, and she could be sarcastic (as any teen girl), but she was mostly nice and sweet with a precious smile. So you need to just shut up about Kirsten being a (bully) I. Sick and tired of hearing about it and talking about it. I doubt any of Kirsten classmates will get back on here discussing this any further cause all it does is bring up a painful past and Kirsten is the victim cause she was (Murdered) end of story now get a life and stop talking about this.
what about the girl she killed !
