LAWRENCE -- The two lists were found a day apart last month in the boys' and girls' bathrooms in Central Catholic High School. On one, the names of 10 boys, on the other, nine girls. Next to each name were words such as "kill," "dismember," or "torcher" (sic).

Yesterday, Katie Koontz, a 17-year-old from Methuen who is a junior at the high school, was charged with threatening to commit murder and bodily harm. Her own name was on the list of girls threatened. She has denied knowing anything about the notes, according to a police report.
Friends and students defended her yesterday, painting another portrait of Koontz as a well-liked young woman who was active in track, volleyball, and basketball at Central Catholic.
