#2The electronic transformer looks like it could be used for low-voltage lighting. The wires look like they're running into mini LED or halogen lights.

#3This is worrisome, I am curious whether publicizing his case may make matters worse than better. I would also be curious to see if someone would manage to contact relatives or friends in the area,

I suspect that means someone is supposed to find that transformer. Presumably there may be something of interest with/in/near it. Its easy to hide a microSD
