VOA correspondent went to see Mrs Yettaw, the wife of the man who swam to Aung San Suu Kyi's house.
Unofficial summary:
The half finished house is unoccupied now since Y. charged all his travel expenses on his credit cards and then went to see Daw Suu, which he had attempted to do once before.
He left the books there the first time, when Daw Suu's maids were too frightened and did not let him in.
His wife told the reporter he was depressed due to the death of his son in a motor cycle accident. (The grave is shown) -- They did not have money for the funeral and friends washed cars to raise money for the service.
She said he had done human rights work in other countries also.
They are Mormons and worship at the Church of Latter Day Saints.
The reporter also talked to the sheriff.
The reporter says -- "These are just ordinary Americans."
