Toomey was the name of a company that manufactured priest garb.
All attempts to determine the stranger’s identity led nowhere, but there is one unsettling theory about his suicide.
On December 21, 1981, a Catholic priest named Father Patrick Ryan was murdered at a motel in Odessa, Texas.
He was found naked with his hands tied behind his back.
He appeared to be in his early forties and seemed to be waiting for a turn in the confessional, which was currently occupied. It was later determined that he had swallowed a cyanide capsule.
