I am troubled by one detail: the investigation of his computer. It seems unlikely to me that this man spent so much of his time on the computer and yet nothing of use was found. That said however, I must consider the possibility that LE did indeed find useful information that they simply weren't at liberty to make public.
I totally agree with your post, Jane....except the computer part makes total sense to me. My two teenagers tend to be naturally paranoid about people looking at their computers. They seem to put their lives on Facebook---but they really only do to the extent they want to (they just don't care, yet, that potential bosses, grandparents, and parents can see their party pics and dramas). Anything else they DO NOT want anyone to see. Young people are naturally paranoid and secretive. Knowing the depth of Neo's understanding of the internet, computers etc, based on his gaming expertise etc, I absolutely believe that, particularly in a clinically paranoid state, he would have cleared out everything of any use on his computer himself. I am sure LE know when the drive was wiped, logs cleared etc and I feel it was probably at a time during which he was still there. If people were after him, in his mind or for real, then his most precious information--which I have no doubt would be on the computer--would have needed to have been wiped/erased to make sure "they" didn't get it.
With his clear level of expertise (pretty much any teen's/college kid's level of technology sophistication), I would have been surprised if there WAS anything of use on the computer.
JMHO!
