If he were hiding in a panic driven psychosis, would he have walked down a public road half naked and entered the water with his license plate in hand? Was he sane enough to remember to pack a screw driver to remove his plates? And how did he, in a state of psychosis, get to this hidden location in Peru without a cell phone or car GPS?Someone who is having a psychotic episode can also be a victim of crime, so they are 100% making sure.
Besides, there are aspects of this incident that do make you wonder, like the number plates. I, personally, believe, Jelani tossed his phone out of the window while still in Bloomington and removed the plates once in Peru maybe because he thought he was being chased. Perhaps changed clothes for the same reason because he didn’t want to be recognized. Along the same lines, it could be that Jelani went to the river to hide in the water from whomever he thought was chasing him, not to kill himself, in which case, the MOD would be accidental.
Having worked with several patients experiencing psychosis, I can assure you that logic is the first thing to go. I have never had a patient experiencing psychosis who would be capable of the kind of logic required to pull these feats off.
