When I was cleaning up stuff at Scott’s house in Bath I backed up the four laptops he had used most recently and also transferred the files on his own small backup drives and thumb drives to my larger drives. Later I wrote a program to pull a directory listing from all of these and send that to Excel, where I could sort by the file type and date, or anything else of interest.
When I sorted the code-related files by date I found that he stopped coding in St Davids on July 4th, before fleeing on the early morning of July 12th, 2017. Scott typically programmed for days at a time, then might take a break for a few days or a week to do something else, so that short break wasn’t unusual.
He didn’t start programming again until the first of October, and then worked for a total of only eight days between then and January 30th, 2018, He continued to use the two newest laptops to check email and research the medical conditions that he thought afflicted him.
The last time he checked email on a laptop was April 9th, 2018. He had a phone and tablet that I haven’t managed to gain entry to yet…he may have switched to one of those.
On April 10th he did searched on Google for places that boarded dogs. I don’t know if he actually contacted any of them. I will try to check on that later.
On April 12th he used Google Maps to jump to several locations fairly close to Bath. He was online for a total of 18 minutes.
On April 17th he spent seven minutes doing searches in Firefox. That appears to be the last time he used either computer.
Scott stopped driving about the time he moved back into the house in Bath. He had been having problems with his vision, which his doctor reported to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency and they sent him a letter telling him not to drive until it was cleared up. Fortunately almost anything he might want to buy was within a ten-minute walk from his house. He usually went out every three or four days to shop…this is based on the receipts he kept.
On March 12th he bought a lot of human and dog food. On the 18th he bought more human food. On the 29th he had an eye exam at Vision Express in Bath. This had been ordered by the National Health Service. The next (and last) time he went shopping was April 14th, when he bought four shepherd pies and two cans of soup.
When I got to the house a few months later there was enough dried (just add water) human food to last for a month or so. And enough dog food to last about the same time. Unfortunately the dogs hadn’t been able to get to it.
