"Basically his attitude was it was all sort of fun, inconvenient," recalled Duke, 43, of Boulder, Colo.
Duke, who drank beer with Berg the night before he left, said Berg told him he had made a lot of money and was thinking about going sailing in Turkey. He said he thought Berg was planning to leave the country by land.
