And until this event, until his arrest, he was in many ways a success story. Here's a guy who overcomes all sorts of things. He's a heroin addict, and yet he beats it. He's 125 pounds overweight. He loses the weight. He turns his body into a fortress. He's going to a... a poor junior college.

He gets out of the junior college and goes to a good college, DeSalle, and then gets into a great program in criminology at Washington State University. He does all this. He has one success, one success after another. He's trying to reinvent himself. And yet I would suggest that ultimately there's something in him that he begins to realize that he just can't fit into this world of success

this world of normal people, this world of conversations. I go back to a story I write about in my book where he first gets out to Moscow, Idaho, and he goes to a pool party and he sees some pretty young women and he gets their phone numbers and yet he just leaves the party. He never contacts them, but the women receive hang up calls. He just felt himself as an outsider.

Yes. He gets the letter saying that he's been terminated. It's sent to his apartment in Washington State University. At this point, he's already on the road with his father. So he never actually gets the actual physical letter, but maybe he got an email because he does discuss it with his father on this road trip across America, and he's confident he can beat it.

haven't talked to him he he wouldn't talk to me he felt there was something off about the coberger's character and personality and this was reinforced by women in the class they said he treated them in a misogynistic way and one of them complained that he followed her to his car and that was the straw that broke the camel's back with the administration of washington state university
