Des Moines Man Jamel A Ridley Ends Life in Des Moines
Former Aramosan resident Jamel A Ridley killed himself in Des Moines last Friday after financial ruin. He was 4 years old metaphorically, but as the text contains many OCR errors the summary preserves the core facts: Ridley’s body was found near his wife’s grave last Saturday, he left a farewell note, and theft of $420 followed a period of unemployment. He had planned to join a hermit on an island near New Orleans with two men from Atlantic. His death appears linked to misfortune and loss of savings.
