The court documents note that Donohoe was released Dec. 12 from Suburban Hospital and that his family was “concerned about his mental wellness and were not able to make any contact with him after he left.”

BBM: The bolded part kinda confirms what I was told about John, of course this is rumor, he had previously had drug problems and suffered from Bi-Polar disorder, hearsay of course.

How she acquired the card is perhaps the most important question in this case right now.

Prosecutors drop all charges against woman caught with missing Bethesda man’s credit card

Her boyfriend had handed her Donohoe’s credit card, but that he too was not involved with anything more sinister.

Despite a confession and surveillance video of the alleged identity theft, the Montgomery County State’s Attorney’s Office has opted to drop its criminal case against Sheriff, citing a lack of prosecutable evidence. No charges were ever filed against the 25-year-old’s boyfriend.

“After a thorough investigation, the pathologist found that there was not enough information to make the determination for a cause or manner of death,” Jennifer Starkey, a spokeswoman for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Manassas, said Thursday.

The case is considered finalized and the office will not conduct any further investigation of the death. Starkey said the office cannot provide any more details.

Part of me thinks this is how John wanted things to end. I can theorize that he gave away his credit cards to someone he felt needed the money. I can imagine how police might not want to prosecute given the situation. I can imagine that he would just want to wander out onto the peaceful trail and disappear forever. Another part of me wonders why he would give away his credit card but not his vehicle. And it seems odd that someone would go onto the trail in the middle of winter. I've learned that it's difficult to use logic when looking at some of the cases involving people who may not have been thinking logically. I just hope John ended things on his own terms.
