Another fact missing....was his room in a University Dorm or in a Frat house?
Where were the alleged Muslims residing?
Did they have access to his ( Joel Henry Hinrichs III) room?
Answers ....my first question!
According to local reports, he had moved out of a reportedly nice frat house and into a rather dingy, run-down apartment earlier this year. PKM might know more about this.
Sounds to me (ok, I happily accept the tinfoil hat) as though some radical Islamics saw in this guy a good bombmaker and stooge, and put him up to this. Just my theory. Some reports (links in above posts) suggest they might have found Islamic literature (probably in English--no indication he spoke or wrote in other than English) in his apartment, but no confirmation in any of the news.
Let's face it, no young flyover country boy would choose this method of suicide without some help.
On that hugely large thread begun the day it happened, someone posted a good map of where everything is. There was a mosque not far from his apartment--but it should be noted, not far from a LOT of apartments.
