Prosecutors said information gleaned from more than 3,000 of Shahan’s e-mails indicate he was planning to leave the United States for good, ultimately moving to the United Kingdom.

"He planned to become a citizen there and begin a new life with his boyfriend ... who he intended to marry," Deputy Jefferson County District Attorney Leigh Gwathney said, according to the Birmingham News. "He had no intention of ever returning to the United States. He had no home to return to and he had said his goodbyes to his family."
