why why did this nobody seemed to know. they didn t see i didn t see anything. the jail s chaplain, eva smith, pays a visit to glidden s housing unit. you were here at that time? yes. okay. how did you feel? i didn t know him that well, but i don t think he killed himself, though. okay. see, that s another thought. it s definitely fishy. at first i thought suicide. at first i thought he ate a bunch of pills or something. and then his roommate at the time, he was still in the unit for a while. he moved out of the unit yesterday. he told us that there was something around his neck. coming up he went to court, he didn t like the news he heard. they said he dame back. he hung himself. unsubstantiated rumors spread through the jail, matthew glidden s mother speaks out. i miss him dearly.
