"The Ohio man found guilty of holding a 13-year-old girl hostage after killing her family and stuffing their dismembered bodies in a hollow tree had an obsession with trees and leaves, police documents show"
"Pictures of Matthew Hoffman's home reveal a living room stuffed with leaves, a bathroom lined with more than 100 bags of leaves, and a freezer that contained only a couple of red popsicles and two dead squirrels."
This reminds me of Albert Johnson, the Mad Trapper, who led the RCMP on a 240km long foot chase in the North West Territories and the Yukon in 1931, in the middle of winter, after blowing up his cabin and scurrying out. After he was shot dead... "RCMP officials realized that he had traveled over 85 miles away from his cabin in less than 3 days, burning 10,000 calories. 75 years later, forensics teams found that his tailbone actually was not symmetrical, causing his spine to curve left and right slightly. In addition, one foot was longer than other." Further, an examination of Johnson's body yielded... a dead squirrel, and a dead bird... " It is a great and crazy story if you do not know it, check it out.
