I suspect if I had talked to that reporter I wouldn't have contributed anything substantial except a sense that he had lost his bearings in life well before his demise. I also believe the FBI wouldn't care less about me. I last chatted online with him in August 2023.

I just always figured that he would never do anything that significant after I stopped chatting with him.
