“Today, things are getting hard and things will continue to get harder. I hope it doesn’t get to the point where it will be survival of the fittest. People will start to kill you for your own goods. I am certain that this is what happened. “

“I am certain that this is what happened. They killed him for his own things; his own products,” Trapp stated.
