"He's a kind gentleman," one neighbor, who did not want to reveal his full name, told NBC10. "I've been here 20 something years. He's always been nice to me."

Investigators also say Lannon is a person of interest in connection to a quadruple homicide that occurred in New Mexico. Four decomposing bodies were discovered inside a car in a parking garage in Albuquerque on Friday.
