Blog Post Leads to Murder Suspect

This story is from last year but is still worthy of mention. The identity of a double-murderer was discovered because one of the victims wrote about the murderer on his blog, immediately before the crime took place. The New York Daily News has the story here: Victim’s E-Journal Led to Slay Suspect (originally published May 17, 2005). It is more than a bit haunting to read the victim’s final blog entry, which is still online here.

      

Legal aspects of this case are discussed in the comments to this post at the Volokh Conspiracy.
