And Dad says he was living in his truck to save money to pay bills.
Just who did he owe?

Good catch. 12 hour night shifts as a pipe fitter?
Meth.
I’m not so sure. This story makes me think there was some high powered personal anger here, vendetta like, backed by barbaric violence. Beyond some low level drug debt. Begs the question, why would drug cartels even care about this small potatoes workaday guy, scraping bottom sleeping in his truck?? I wonder if the victim had threatened to rat someone out or somehow crossed the wrong people.

But, it appears there was nothing stolen.
My son was a tower climber. He worked hard and lived out of our ancient RV to pay bills. His boss loved it. If there was an emergency on the work site, there was someone right there to handle it.
He paid off thousands of dollars in medical bills. He was trying to clean up his credit to pass a background check to get a better (more stable) job with border patrol. (The contract was to care for the cameras) He was drug-free. Had to be to get - and keep - those jobs.
A lot of young men are living like that in order to get a leg up now days. It’s better than living in ‘mom’s basement’ and saves their pride. A lot of these jobs are too far from home to commute every day, so they stay in their vehicles. Cheaper than rent or a hotel.
My son died last month in a motorcycle accident. He only had $1500 left in medical bills and an old debt from breaking a lease in order to take an out-of-state job opportunity.
I’m proud of what he accomplished. He was almost there.
