Authorities said they were able to identify Matsoukas by using trail camera footage, matching a backpack on the footage to one found at his home and license plate photos to his Subaru Outback’s plate number.
While searching Matsoukas’ home, investigators recovered three iPads — including one issued by Penn State. Investigators say Matsoukas used at least one of the iPads to record himself. They also found clothing that matched what was worn in the video footage, and they photographed at his home a collie that looked like the dog seen in surveillance footage. The investigators noted both the dog at Matsoukas’ home and in the video was missing a left eye. According to the criminal charging document, Matsoukas seemed nervous when investigators arrived.
“I’m done, I’m dead,” Matsoukas allegedly said when investigators told him they thought he knew why they were there.
The professor also allegedly told investigators, “You don’t understand. I do it to blow off steam.”
At one point, the report says, Matsoukas asked what he had to do to get the ranger to shoot him.
