Leaving only the smallest of ripples - Tradução em português

Southard's account came as a more detailed picture began to emerge of Holmes. The 24-year-old was a doctoral student whose family came from a middle class area of San Diego. He was a brilliant science student, the son of a nurse and a software manager. He had graduated with highest honours in the spring of 2010, with a neuroscience degree from the University of California, Riverside. He then enrolled last year in a neuroscience PhD programme at the University of Colorado, Denver, after struggling to find work, but was in the process of withdrawing this year. It is not known why he was leaving. Perhaps somewhere in there lies his motivation.
Holmes, whom many have described as a shy loner, appeared to go through life leaving only the smallest of ripples. Until now. On Saturday.
