Impressive diagnosis, Dr. Pete. I don't believe RWC is currently institutionalized, if he ever was, as nearly all mental patients today live nearly normal lives. AFAIK, RWC was a never physical threat to anyone, including himself. RWC is probably living free and among all of us. He may be very near, indeed. enlightened_dawn11 suggested that maybe Vaj and RWC were the same person.
