Just had the chance to get caught up (about 12 pages behind) and a several things come to mind out of the very lively discussion over the last couple of weeks.
First one .......Since it appears, based on what was stated in the article sourced below, and what shows in the documents from the FBI investigation of RFG in the 80’s (attached to that same article) the fact that RFG may have been looked at for a position as a Special Assistant United States Attorney opens up some avenues that have not been discussed. It also brings into question if there may be circumstances that have the potential to bring into play a definite connection to something at the federal level (and possibly the Federal Prisons in and around Lewisburg) if RFG ever actually served in that capacity.

It could also open up an entire new reason for someone harming him or for that matter for him making a decision to walk away. It could also possibly explain the desire to remove all data from his laptop and result in the fact that it was most likely he himself who tossed the drive in the river, because ultimately he didn’t trust the wiping software and felt that the water would do the job.
I am still not sold on the idea it was RFG who tossed the actual computer itself in the river, since it, in my opinion, seems to have been two separate acts based on the location of where both were found. The main question being why would he not toss them together as one unit, or at least in the same place, even if separated? I could better see someone else tossing the laptop, not realizing that the drive had already been removed.
The second thing is .....Regarding the information ..... that because RFG had a pension anyone would have been able to find out his home address does not appear to be correct. Since he was a DA he would have been considered LE.

Lastly ....If he did walk away, I think he did it all on his own with no helper. Think about it. Does anyone of you know someone in your life, who you could be absolutely sure, would be that totally loyal and not say anything, ever. I don’t. Especially knowing that there is a grieving daughter, nephews and a girlfriend left behind who want answers, want to know that you’re alive and all right. That would also mean that he would have had to have planned this a long time ago and that would mean that everything that he had done over the last, at the minimum, 5 years and more likely (if he was to be sure he had a chance to actually succeed and be able to live out his life without being destitute) 10 to 15 years, was to facilitate him to be able to disappear. In regards to his personal life that would mean that everything he did and said was based on falsities.
That alone brings up so many thoughts, and IMO would make him a very cold and calculating man to plan to leave those who loved him to forever wonder what happen to him.
