@Unsolved , Yikes. I'm sure LE knows about this. Also: just to give you a heads up, the FB you posted is his wife which since she isn't named in anything you may want to take that down. Just a thought. IMO

I better take it down - I do get confused if we're allowed to point at something and not discuss it LOL. And the poor Mods post the guidelines over and over and I think I've learned my lesson but still get itchy! Thanks!

Darn it, based on everything I read I kind of figured this would be the ending, but I always have hope. I thought just maybe he went elsewhere to stay away for awhile. So now I'm going to keep watching to see what LE comes up with as to exactly what happened to him - and if anyone talks.
