You think Fox News will be all over this one?
AP ran a story on mydeathspace this morning. It does exactly what it says; provide a listing of dead MySpace-ers. The story includes a refrence to a Covina man, who died in Iraq late last year.
BTW, myspace is an important tool here on the crime desk. We've used it to profile victims, suspects and even sources. Usually, when they get wise they take it private, but that's how it goes.
UPDATE (broken link fixed)
