I think the female lady came to realize he was broke. Whatever fortune that he had...no longer existed.
Good point; perhaps she will cooperate. Surely, there is something of use to the police.
“I think the female lady came to realize he was broke. Whatever fortune that he had...no longer existed.”
Interesting. That was among my first thoughts. Even if he had what I’d call “normal” money left, it’s likely he couldn’t maintain his lifestyle. For example, even if he owns the airplanes outright and free, flying them costs more than somebody with average money can sustain.
The woman left and, to him, life was now unlivable. Since misery loves company, he made as many of the hated right-leaning Country Western fans as miserable as he could before he died. His last thoughts were probably along the lines of, “There, see what you made me do?”
