Hacking MySpace

Some people just don’t seem to understand that the today’s police investigators have access to computers and know how to type www.myspace.com into a browser, and can, and will, use material written in profiles as evidence. Take the case of Heather Ann Tucci.

Here’s a quick round up of a number of interesting and bizarre MySpace stories from the past few days. Probably the most strange is the story of a 22-year-old woman Arizona woman, Heather Kane, who wanted to kill her ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend. Kane used MySpace to obtain information about the new girlfriend so that she could hire a hit man (who happened to be an undercover policeman).

Two San Antonio high-school students and their parents are being sued by Clark High School assisant principal Anna Draker, after the teenagers posted a fake MySpace profile in Draker’s name.

An Alameda County judge is the process of deciding whether the mother of a murder suspect must take down her MySpace profile. Laura Rangel, mother of 23-year-old murder suspect Laura Medina, has been using the MySpace profile to fight for the release of her daughter.

This might seem obvious, but if you’re wanted by the law, don’t put up a MySpace profile!
