Iirc all he knew about DD was he had caused the creation of the local library with his donations or some such thing. Then he came across the first page and realized there was more of a mystery here and wanted to follow it to the end. At this stage its kind of a sunk cost fallacy. He has already done so much it would be a shame to stop now, that sort of thing.
