5:16 p.m. Herman Ejarque, the co-owner and manager of the nearby Governor’s Inn in Rochester, N.H., said in a telephone interview that a relative of the suspect had come into the inn about 2 o’clock this afternoon after being interviewed by police. The man’s relationship to the suspect was not clear — he is either the son, step-son or son-in-law. He talked with the inn’s front-desk receptionist, Chelsea Coul, telling her he was cold and looking for a cup of coffee but the town had been evacuated and everything was shut down.
The man told Ms. Coul that the suspect’s wife had sought a divorce a few months ago and that he was unemployed and “hasn’t been in the right state of mind” for three months. Ms. Coul said the man told her that the suspect had been drinking for 72 hours and that he needed help and quoted the suspect as saying, “I don’t know what to do with my life.”
The man told Ms. Coul that the suspect had asked him where he could buy roadside flares. What happened next is not clear.
MSNBC reporters indicate all presidential candidates that have offices in the area have closed.
