I was told by Matt once that he had once been involved with some very bad people. This was either during high school or shortly after. He had some very close high school friends that were still very close to him after high school. I feel like these friends could give insight on these very bad people Matt once associated with. Hypothetically, if someone were apart of something like a gang usually you don't get to just walk away, from my understanding. This scenario would clear everyone else in the family.

Where did Matt grow up/go to school? He grew up in Mooresville NC, and attended Mooresville Senior High School. |

It would be interesting to hear more about the bad people from his past. Being from Mooresville, gang activity is very rare. Now Charlotte is a different issue. If anyone has info on this, it may be helpful for others to come forward as well.

I'm open to literally any theory of what happened and why as long as it doesn't involve aliens... but obviously some theories feel more likely than others. I think the idea that something from Matt's past resurfaced in such a devastatingly violent way is on the more unlikely end of the spectrum unless he was actively involved in those things again.
If it were 'bad people' from his fairly distant past trying to send a message, there had to have been a reason that the message was sent then. He wasn't a hard person to find. He wasn't in hiding. It seems like there were better, safer and easier places to 'take him out' if that was the goal. If the motivation was to send a message that you're not allowed to walk away from the lifestyle, sending that message YEARS later isn't a particularly effective way to make that point.
I'm not arguing that there isn't the possibility that Matt's past came into his present... it could have happened. But it appears far more likely that even if it did, it did so because something in his present woke the past up again. For example, renewed contact with those 'bad people' by trying to get involved with them again, for whatever reason. Maybe he was trying to pull old friends out of that lifestyle. Maybe he was trying to make some money. Maybe he suddenly was put in a position where he had new knowledge that he shouldn't have had... the possibilities are almost endless.
But as to the likelihood that someone from years prior just woke up and decided to track Matt down and kill him that day? I'm personally leaning towards other options.
