It is a real problem: virtually every news outlet has the same thing. No wonder these people turn to Reddit. Geez, what a life.
Is it worth paying attention to a man like this? The poor girl is dead. Yes, it is worth it. Mental health awareness is serious business.
Short of a fact-checked Dateline-like program there is nowhere to go for credible hows and whys, at least right now. Sure, there will be an autopsy and maybe even a trial; we will find out the facts of the murder. I believe it is second degree, so for now we do not know the how, but that will come out. Google News, Yahoo News, Daily Mail, all the networks plus CNN will have it. Maybe, if it is gory or weird enough, it will be on 48 Hours in a few months.
All we can do is either follow it continuously (worse yet, go on Reddit) or make up our own minds right now.
He doesn’t look surprised in his mug shot, or like he had a lot of other options. I looked it up, coffee is actually grown in the Gambela region of Ethiopia. He knew about coffee and mining. The mother who has not come forward had custody. His bio on the coffee site was weird. The girl didn’t look especially happy in the picture either.
Apparently he has enormous legal and debt issues. He has a public defender. The evidence will no doubt point to this: no one else could have committed the crime(s).
And that’s the thing. He could have and should have had other options, people, and places. Forty-five years old and there should have been someone.
It will continue to turn up in the news. I’m curious if my perspective will change.
Where did I read, his website or social media described opulence and cars. He rented and subleased a property in an upscale area of Montreal. That may be exaggerated.
