The letters he wrote to the captain of the freighter brought home how isolated he is. He said the only two people who would welcome his return were dead. His neighbors in Vermont didn't really know him. It sounds like he spent his time alone working on the house. And once a month or so, he'd go fishing with his mother, according to her friend.
On the other hand, the open murder of his grandfather, the fact that police wanted to arrest him for it, the incident when he was younger described as holding a child hostage using a knife and the neighbor in his apartment building who referred to him as 'murder boy' because of it all raised concerns. The missing notices from when he ran away cautioned anyone who spotted him not to engage him but to keep him in sight and call the police. He could be difficult to deal with when under stress because he had poor coping skills, the notices said.
I guess I am leaning more toward Linda as a suspect in John's murder. She'd physically attacked him 2 years earlier and vowed that she was going to get her share of his money. She demonstrated quite a sense of entitlement and exploded at an 85-year old man because he'd said he'd stop supporting Linda and her husband. She may have set Nathan up to take the fall (thinking he;d get off) by telling police they had plans to fishing at 3am but Nathan didn't show. It was Dec 20th. Probably not ideal conditions even if you're a fanatic.
