Some lady thought it would be a good idea to search Google and MSN for ways to commit murder…just before she killed her husband. What makes this case even more unusual is the amount of evidence gathered from the hard drive belonging to the defendant.

That same day searches on Google and MSN search engines, were conducted on such topics as `instant poisons,` `undetectable poisons,' 'fatal digoxin doses,' and gun laws in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Ten days later, according to allegations by the state of New Jersey, McGuire murdered her husband.

Wow, criminals are getting smart these days. They now know to search the internet first!
 
Smart enough to find ways but not smart at all because of all the evidence left behind.

If they were smart they would have used other PC no in their house.
 
this is like saying i used books to commit murder.

by reading about old murders and learning from them.


hyperbole ftl.



please dont emulate the "action extreme" news senationalism.
 
Well, obviously she found some good information. You really CAN find anything on the internet! :cool:
 
heh looks like she should have waited a bit longer to put her plan in to action.

Google now says that the company will make search data more anonymous after 18-24 months so that it can no longer be identified with individual users. Google says its engineers are already working on the technical details and they should have this change implemented within a year.

She's a moron. Why search for ways to kill people and not ways to kill people without being caught? If truly you can find anything on the Internet. ;)
 
Perhaps she didn't really care to get caught and just wanted to kill the man.


Seymour said that on Sept. 8, 2005, the State Police obtained eight computers, three laptops and eight hand-held devices as part of the murder investigation.

Damn! This is my kinda woman! :D
 
Great, now let's the the government in to monitor the internet for us. I mean, it's worked so well for games and movies :rolleyes:
 
It's not all that new a concept really. In times past they just used the library. Every power has a dark side, and thinking that the government should monitor all searches everywhere is idiotic. We don't have cameras on every street, nor automated radar on every highway. It's ok to express sorrow, and to work to keep people from doing this kind of thing, but you don't enact a huge, gigantic and invasive program over what amounts to small potatoes on the criminal statistics.

Why did she need to Google how to kill someone, anyway? How can you not know? Plus, if Google didn't exist, she would've found something else. Her desperation would've come up with something eventually.

The thing is though...effort. It takes a bit less effort these days to find information on "evil" actions. However, on the same token it takes a bit more effort to get away with it. In short...stupid people will still get caught and smart people will get away with it.

They have always said the #1 rule for getting away with murder is to never let anyone ever know about (before or after the fact). By using Google, you let somebody know about it. Ever wonder why they say silence is golden.

Now where did I put that shovel for Kyle's grave..oops ;)
 
Next time I decide to do something illegal, I'll get some detailed plans of it on google.

Anyone savvy enough can find plans for a full blown nuclear warhead...although the materials are a bit hard to come by if you don't have millions of dollars and/or a terrorist group.

As much as the free information is great, it bothers me sometimes.

Yea, so shes a smart/ dumb murder.

Smart for finding all those infos online

Dumb for still leaving all the files on the computer.
 
She told the jury that it is known in the computer industry that if information stored on a 12 gigabyte computer was put on paper it would create a stack of paper higher than the Empire State Building.
