  "Murderer confesses on Anandtech forum

   Anandtech community member Dennilfloss has dramatically
   confessed to the murder of another member, single mother
   Nowheremom, on the tech site's forum. 

   Dennilfloss developed a relationship with Nowheremom over the
   Internet and arranged to meet her in real life. He did so and the
   two hit it off. Members were shocked, however, when Dennilfloss
   announced the death of her and her daughter on the site in January
   last year. He claimed they had been knocked down by a car in bad
   weather. 

   However, following some detective work by other members on the
   site, it soon became apparent that the truth was a lot darker and
   Dennilfloss confessed to the murder on the site earlier yesterday. 

   The twist is that Dennilfloss was in fact Nowheremom. In his
   confession, he said the creation of a female alter-ego started as a
   joke because he wanted to see what it would be like for a woman to
   post on the forums. Nowheremom made her first appearance in
   October 1999. But it all started getting out of hand when he
   started getting approaches from other men on the forum, so he
   created a relationship with Nowheremom and himself. "
