On the Analyst Institute's online memorial page for Seth Rich, there is a lovely recollection by Andrew Therriault about his co-worker Seth Rich, concluding with a strangely worded comment, which could be construed as veiled threat to anyone who might want to imitate Seth:

Seth had a habit of showing up at my desk looking lost, as if he had meant to go somewhere else and was surprised to find himself standing there. This happened regularly enough that I would tease him for it, but that moment of seeming confusion was really just a sign that he was about to ask a question that he knew would not have an easy answer. When he’d pop his head over the cube wall, I often chuckled and leaned back in my chair, knowing that I’d be stuck there for a while. But I loved those conversations, when we would talk at length about all sorts of topics—experiments, data collection, research design, modeling, field programs, and lots more. Across both politics and academia, I’ve never known anyone as eager to learn as Seth was. And so while we’ll all remember his fun, gregarious, and sometimes just-plain-goofy public side, I’ll also remember someone who cared so deeply about our work that he was always fighting to improve and grow and do more. We’ve lost one hell of a friend, brother, colleague, teammate, and patriot, but I hope his legacy will serve as an example to others who might step in to take his place.
