And no, not a rumor about the animal abuse that was on his FB page. His story and his FB page has changed considerably over the past few days.

Google it. There have been stories in both the Seattle Times Herald and The Seattle PI. Read the comments to the articles. They definitely add to the story. It is believed that his family got legal advice and they advised him to clean up the trash talk, clear the FB page of anything abusive and change his story.

No pitchforks here. However, the real story is not what it appears.
