Has there been any credible information on how the shooter lived in the Miami area? What he did for those 8(?) years?

Neither media nor authorities have released anything yet. He apparently kept a low profile and had no encounters with law enforcement. Information will come out; we need to be cautious of the budding conspiracy fantasies sure to invade the net real soon.

Feynmann was an interesting guy but he also seems to have been a bit of a jerk. There are all sorts of rumors about his time at CalTech regarding his treatment of students and their wives. I’ve heard from several people that if Feynmann wanted to sleep with your wife that was a condition to get through the program. Hear it once you can dismiss, hear it three times from three different people with variations in the tale you scratch your chin and go hmmm.

Lots of questions and I’m just as curious as to why he went back to Portugal, what did he do there for 14 years (2003 to 2017) and what brought him back to Miami?

I hadn’t heard any of that, but it is not inconsistent with his character, I suppose. Carl Sagan was a skirt chaser, but not one to resort to extortion.
