Barely 40, with
three degrees, and on his his way to a doctorate? This man was certainly a high-flyer. And meanwhile (as if that wasn't already enough), he was climbing the Navy ranks rapidly, from the bottom up.
Check out this site:
http://www.militaryfactory.com/ranks/navy_ranks.aspHe was only two ranks below Rear-Admiral!
And his monthly salary, at Pay Grade 0-5, was
over $5,000 and rising to over $6,000 after three years.
So how did he end up having his home foreclosed on (for such a tiny debt)? What was the US Navy's attitude to that? Don't they have contingency plans for such eventualities? Don't they provide very decent cheap-or-free accomodation to officers who need it or want it -- especially high-ranking officers working in particularly sensitive fields?
Of course they do. Especially considering he was party to so much
highly classified information about both the War on Drugs and the War on Terror.
Didn't that make him a potential security risk, especially if he ever went off the rails? Of course it did.
So why (and how) was he allowed to end up alone, drinking and maybe drugging, in a cheap & dangerous motel, until he was beaten and strangled to death there?
WTF?
