Quote HistoryQuoted: Can we rationalize a mad man pinging on adrenaline? Either way, I want to know more about his mental illness and hospital stay. How many more of the nutjobs with writing all over the wall must be ignored simply to attack lawful gun owners? I think this is probably what Trump meant when he stupidly said "take the guns first".

They were saying something about searching for him in the Kennebec River earlier in the thread.
There are 3 dams across the Androscoggin in between where the Subaru was found and the Kennebec across several miles, so it seems unlikely that he got there on water. Is there any chance he stashed his 15ft boat somewhere downstream of the dams, and used a second vehicle to reach it, like his motorcycle that I'm not sure has been accounted for? The Kennebec leads out to the Atlantic if his goal was to never be found. Motor out until he runs out of fuel or balls in the big water and then pull his scupper and eat his pistol. |

A neighbor, Dave Letarte, said Card’s family let them deer hunt on their property and were kind, although Letarte said he noticed Card appeared to have mental problems for a while.
“People have problems, but you don’t expect them to go off the deep end like that,” Letarte said. |
