I ask because i was painting his brothers house yesterday in Mass, and he was telling me crazy stories about how the FBI had his phones tapped and abbie would have to sneak through his back yard to send out letters. His brother also said there is no way in hell Abbie commited suicide.
Kinda cool
But if the government is not counting, others are. Estimates made by organizations such as the Association of Americans Resident Overseas put the number of nongovernment-employed Americans living abroad anywhere between 4 million and 7 million, a range whose low end is based loosely on the government's trial count in 1999. Focusing on households rather than individuals (and excluding households in which any member has been sent overseas either by the government or private companies), a series of recent Zogby polls commissioned by New Global Initiatives, a consulting firm, yielded surprising results: 1.6 million U.S. households had already determined to relocate abroad; an additional 1.8 million households were seriously considering such a move, while 7.7 million more were "somewhat seriously" contemplating it. If the data collected in the seven polls conducted between 2005 and 2007 are fairly representative of the current decade, then, by a modest estimate, at least 3 million U.S. citizens a year are venturing abroad. More interesting, the biggest number of relocating households is not those with people in or approaching retirement but those with adults ranging from 25 to 34 years old.

He suspected that the government did him in. The FBI was after him for years and had the whole familys phones tapped. He had a large following and the people who followed him were very anti-government.
He was perscribed a bunch of medication by a doctor that he suposedly overdosed on but his brother Jack didn't believe it from day one. He said he had a very close relationship with Abbie and knew he would never do it.
He was a really cool dude, he once got thousands of people together and tried to levitate the pentagon. How awesome is that?
