This poor man had nothing to steal which is why they must have returned to injure him again. He probably lost so many friends in 9/11 and then his wife years later. I bet the overwhelming heartbreak led to him being homeless. JMO

His wife, Celeste Borkum, was killed in a humanitarian visit to Africa in 2009.

Somehow it makes this so much worse that he escaped the 911 attacks and then lost his wife on a humanitarian mission. To go through all that just to become homeless and be beaten to death by three . Glad they got the suspects.

MOO.
