He tried to be a hero and
save the locals. IMO.
Wanted his 15 minutes of fame.
Not realizing he would end up
in the slammer.
In all due respect, we don't know his motive and the solution of a crime is always based on determination of motive (unless there is an eyewitness).
I disagree. Time will tell, hopefully. (we know the aruban govt. won't) I think there's a whole lotta coverup going on.
