Tech, U.S.: Creepster of the day: “Mr. Online Suicide Instigator”

  • It is really creepy stuff. If you read the chat logs, it makes your hair stand up on the back of your neck. [This person] certainly knows how to push the right buttons.
  • Celia Blay • A British woman who informed authorities of a creepster who masqueraded around online as a young girl, convincing people to join her in a suicide pact and arranged to let her watch on a webcam. Blay helped narrow it down to a Minnesota man who works as a male nurse. William Francis Melchert-Dinkel, 46, admitted to instigating five suicides, although he never actually watched the videos. He’s also suspected in a sixth in Canada. Creep. • source
