Well, it looks like the guy confessed...
Unfortunately, I find this whole incident sad, from start to finish. I'm glad that there's some sort of closure, but the ramifications of this man's "joke" will have long-lasting effects for years to come. I certainly hope that he got a good laugh out of it now, because there will be little laughter for a long time to come.
