Message: [QUOTE="Shamon30, post: 5005144, member: 11738"] Thankfully they were whole, so I can say for sure it was salmon. I didn't much enjoy having to gut them, but it provided me with a week's plus worth of meals. His personality and behavior would turn on a dime. He'd go from jovial to enraged and back again in a span of mere minutes. As weird as it feels to say this, there were genuinely likeable aspects to the guy. He had almost no money, but if he ever saw someone worse off, he'd go out of his way to help. In his more stable moments, he had a good sense of humor and could be funny as hell. He was in prison three times. Ironically, he was granted early release the first time after saving a CO's life during a prison riot. He also seemed to gravitate toward police officers and would talk to them more than anyone else. As I (years) later learned, he was pumping them for information on the killings, more or less trying to see if they were onto him and trying to throw them off trail. Of course, there was also the dark side of his personality, which was downright intimidating. He'd tell bizarre stories about Vietnam that were filled with cartoonish acts of violence. He also had an extreme aversion to wrinkles in his shirt. If he thought his shirt was anything less than perfect, he'd have to go home and change. He also had a laundry list of conspiracy theories, most involving either outer space or chemical tampering. I never felt fully at ease when he was around. I wasn't close with him and never once saw him outside of work - I'd estimate I maybe saw him 9 or 10 times total, always in the wee hours of the morning. He was just one of those repeat customer types and that was the extent of our association. By the time he was apprehended, I'd already left Rochester and had seldom if ever thought about him since moving. When the news broke, it was a surreal feeling. I was shocked, but at the same time, I wasn't. Maybe it's just a case of hindsight being 20/20, but from the small amount of time I spent around him, I feel as though I should've been more tipped off as to the fact that he was such a dangerous person. I do carry some degree of guilt for not telling the cops to keep an eye on him or something, considering how many lives he took. There are plenty of videos of him on YouTube. He cones off as really simple in most of them, but in person, he didn't strike me as unintelligent. [/QUOTE]
