FBI Seeks Suspect's Web Game Records

Posted by timothy on from the we'd-like-to-see-those-please dept.

wiredmikey writes "The Federal Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday asked the administrator of an Internet game to hand over records of communications by Jared Loughner, following a Wall Street Journal article describing disturbing messages the accused shooter wrote over a three-month period last year. In an interview, David McVittie, the administrator of the Web game Earth Empires, said he was contacted by the FBI, which requested the files, including 131 messages that Mr. Loughner wrote."

    I live in Victoria, Canada... we had two young teens murder a young girl, it was all planned and VERY sad what they did to her.

    They used WOW to communicate, and one guy admitted to another friend to killing her on WOW... and they got those records.

    Not surprised at all. I'm actually very satisfied knowing that NO channel of communication should be considered '100% secure'. Face to face is the only place 'privacy' has a chance at existing... and I say chance, because technology can be anywhere at anytime.

    Hopefully these messages give more insight... what an amazingly sad example of how broken our society is, and how helpless the parents are when their ADULT son is off the hook
