Instantly profiled

Not to sound obsessed with suicide, but these stories are always so intriguing to me. And what's even more interesting is looking at them through the lens of the internet. This wouldn't have been possible before, but now when I read a story such as this about a murder-suice in McLean, VA (blocks from where I used to live), now I can take an additional 60 seconds and find this profile of him on his employer's website. Freaky. I did the same thing last week with a professor, I believe in law or criminal justice, who was caught soliciting a prostitute. It said he cried like a baby when he was caught, which for some odd reason made me want to view his faculty page. Maybe the freaky one here is me, I don't know...
