Thanks for posting. I've been curious about this, particularly since it seems to have just plain disappeared from public sight.
The only thing I saw about it recently was that the police supposedly found a "suicide note" on the screen on his PC - that is, a seemingly unfinished line of text that had been typed but not saved to disk. Of course, the Pakistani roomie was around there after Hinrich's death, and would have had ample time to type a one line "suicide note" saying "I'm unhappy and I'm killing myself," or something to that effect. It was also in rather odd sounding English, if I recall correctly.
You're welcome. (o:
That suicide note is rather interesting to say the least. First, the father insists the FBI said there was no note. Then, it's one line of text, and the father can't remember what it said? As you pointed out it was on the screen with the "cursor still blinking" according to Hinrichs father... And, as you pointed out it wasn't until 4 1/2 hours AFTER the explosion that his roommate was taken into custody. As you said, ample time for him - or others to plant the note.
"Of course, the Pakistani roomie was around there after Hinrich's death..."
I remember in those early days, when we [finally] got his name, they kept saying he lived by himself. Now I see why they said that. Pakastani? An Islamic perhaps? Attended the nearby mosque, perhaps? Just wondering....
Let me guess, his Pakastani roomate is shy, kind, and a good upstanding muslim who is much like the hindus and wouldn't hurt a fly. Right?
