Chance Seneca wanted to cut off Holden White’s hands to keep them but couldn’t; he panicked when he slit the wrists and saw White’s bones. Instead, he called 911, told dispatchers that he killed White, and said (via Oxygen), “It’s my fault … I didn’t want all this to happen.”
Meanwhile, KLFY writes that White (pictured) was alive but was sure he would not make it. He told the station that while in the bathtub, “I was saying my final words to myself which were just, ‘Stay calm.” White later woke up from a three-day coma and spent a month in the hospital. Likewise, White could not work for months, and as of 2021, he was still physically recovering from his ghastly injuries. The authorities arrested Seneca and charged him with second-degree attempted murder and later with a hate crime.

White told KLFY that he was confident that Seneca targeted him because he was Gay. White explained, “He said this in prison. He said he chose me because I have a smaller stature and it would be easier to kill me. He knew what he was doing. This was preplanned, and when you look at his Facebook, his profile picture is Jeffrey Dahmer, and if you know the previous history about Jeffrey Dahmer, then you can clearly understand all the reasoning on why he wanted to do what he did. So this is a hate crime to me. It will always be a hate crime to me.”
