chapman will spend the next two days waiting for john lennon. >> who was mark david chapman? on december 8, 1980, mark david chapman was a very confused person, he was literally living inside of a paper back novel, j.d. salinger's "the catcher and the rye." and he was vacillating between suicide and taking a taxi back and forth to hawaii and back and forth between killing an icon. >> around 3:00 a.m. on the morning of december 8, he checks in with his wife back in hawaii. after hanging up, he takes his bible from his suitcase and turns to the book of john. he writes the name lennon after the words "the gospel accord to john." around 8:00 a.m., he heads back to the dakota. >> i had a premonition that this is the last time i would leave my hotel room. i hadn't seen him up to that point, that's what makes it interesting, i wasn't sure he was in the building. and then i left the hotel room, bought a copy of "the catcher and the rye" and i wrote underneath it signed it and wrote "this is my statement." under lining the word "this." i planned not to say anything after the shooting.
