It sounds like a sad story. I wish people had more options than many of us do. And that we knew what those options were, and got some help to do them, when needed.

Can't open it because I've got an ad blocker on my laptop. Willing to bet that he (1) couldn't afford rent/food/utilities, and (2) he was just out and out lonely.

Maybe he needs what jail provides for free: room & board, meals and medical care if needed. Just sayin.....
