Once a Linux Visionary, Now Accused of Murder

• Hans Reiser: Once a Linux Visionary, Now Accused of Murder

The story sounds like something your read in a good crime novel, but unfortunately it's real life.

Some "interesting" quotes:

Reiser thinks of Sturgeon as a brother but is concerned about his friend's taste for bondage and sadomasochism. Reiser once watched Sturgeon carve the letters R-A-G-E into his arm...

Reiser fears that Nina is sleeping with Sturgeon and that the two are mixing sex with sadomasochism. Nina confirms his suspicion that they are having an affair when she files for divorce. In court filings, Reiser accuses her of being seduced by a "lewd tattooed drug addicted BDSM pimp/whore" with multiple personality disorder.

Reiser calls his dad and explains that unmarked cars and maybe an airplane are tracking him. In Ramon's opinion, it's an operation beyond the scope of local police. It sounds like the Russian mafia...!?

Police search the CRX and find that the front passenger seat has recently been removed. The floor is soaked, as if it had been washed. There are heavy-duty garbage bags, cloth towels, masking tape, and two books: Masterpieces of Murder and Homicide. Police also find another drop of blood and match it to Nina.

What a chaotic life and what a story.

Do you think he murdered his wife?
