"This is my last goodbye. I love you. See you again in another life," posted Hale who has been identified as a transgender.
"You'll probably hear about me on the news after I die," Hale continued.
"So basically that post I made on here about you, that was basically a suicide note. I'm planning to die today," Hale added, using the Instagram name Aiden.
Patton replied: "Audrey! You have so much more life to live. I pray God keeps and covers you."
In response, Hale posted: "I know but I don't want to live. I'm so sorry. I'm not trying to upset you or get attention. I just need to die. I wanted to tell you first because you are the most beautiful person I've ever seen and known all my life."
She added: "My family doesn't know what I'm about to do. One day this will make more sense. I've left more than enough evidence behind. But something bad is about to happen."
Police said she left behind a manifesto and a map that she used to plan the massacre.
