I have read that the he may have been taking photos of the work he did, so that he would get paid as a subcontractor. I think this is a much more likely scenario.Why only the one? Don’t tell me an SF O-6 was overcome with doubts about taking another life.
Did the Chechen have tools in his truck, just not on him when he was taking photos? When the photos were viewed, were they of the house and his kids, or were they of the power lines?
The utility company may have caused much of the problem, if they sent someone out without ID.
