Virtual Identities: A Tale of Deception and Murder

This one was made for TV. I don't want to spoil it for you, but lets just say there is a cool twist at the end. This article on wired is long, but worth the read. It was made for an ABC TV movie to capitalize on real or perceived Internet identity fears.


Read it all [HERE]. Page three is where it gets good.

If you don't want to read the article, here is the skinny. Old guy pretends to be young marine in Iraq. Meets young girl online. Romance. Old dude's wife finds out, lets young girl know. Young girl finds solace in Old dude's younger friend. Old dude goes crazy, kills younger dude. Police investigate. Find out young girl was really an old fat mother of two.

Ah the tangled webs we weave.
