Cliff Stoll visiting Karl Koch's death forest

Clifford Stoll, astronomer & author of "The Cuckoo's Egg" book, visiting forest near Hannover, Germany, where Karl Koch - german hacker whom invaded american milnet mainframes back in '80, was found dead, burned with gasoline under unknown circumstances (presumably commited suicide).

There's also a short Markus Hess' quote in the end of the clip.

Clip from NOVA series movie: "The KGB, The Computer and Me".

We should put a psychic there like Amy from The Death Files to tell us what really happened. I highly doubt someone like Karl would burn himself to death. Even to me years in the future and distant from Germany it seems a crock. There are other less painful ways to do it. This was an example of what could happen to others... so sad.

I remember that Nova special from when I was a kid. This part always made me sad and a bit creeped out. I wonder what really happened to Hagbard.
