Third posting 4/8/10
Joe Wilcox has engaged in falsifying information to gain attention and create articles for the Tribune. I am most disappointed by his unethical means to "create news". He surreptitiously typed a note on his brother's typewriter and mailed it to his work address, thus claiming that he had been contacted by the "serial killer". This threatening note gained him attention from many media sources with requests for interviews and articles. He continued to display this unethical behavior by typing a second note on his brother's typewriter and placing this into his home mailbox. MPD was contacted after the first threatening note and had placed protective survelliance upon his home. They had noted no unfamiliar contacts with the home mailbox.
Joe's former romantic alliance, Detective Edith Vargas-Swayze, and her partner have been handed the letter left in the Wilcox mailbox. Questions have arisen as to the origin of the fngerprints left on the untyped paper. As the story nears the end, Wilcox's newspaper boss, Paul Morehouse, is romancing a young graduate journalism student with possible future employment opportunities at The Washington Tribune. Does he have any other interests in the former young women found murdered near the Tribune building?
