He mentions her by name in the first paragraph (after the cover letter):
> I don’t post directly because I am in prison for killing my wife Nina in 2006.
He doesn't get into whether/why he is sorry:
> I am very sorry for my crime–a proper apology would be off topic for this forum, but available to any who ask.
Hans Reiser has previously explained why he believed the murder was justified. It is not clear to me, from this letter, whether he still believes so.
He regrets “killing” other’s dreams about working on his file system.
He’s a psychopath. The whole write up does not discuss anything that was asked and he just wants recognition and fame for inventing something (queryable file system) that was already released long before that, namely BeFS, by the real file system god, Dominic Giampaolo who also wrote APFS
