Washington Sex Offender Vigilante

Police are looking for a man who may have posed as an FBI agent to gain access to their apartment. A roommate who found the bodies says the man wore a blue jumpsuit and a cap with the FBI, and said he wanted to talk to the men about their status as sex offenders. The man also was seen Friday by neighbors.

The fake FBI agent told the three roommates that one of them was on a "hit list" on an Internet site, according to the police.


The men were on the sex offender registry site as of yesterday. By today, their names have been cut. The list allows you to see the addresses of the offenders if you click on an "I agree" button to this disclaimer: By entering the Whatcom County Sheriff's Office Registered High-Risk (Level 3) Sex/Kidnapping Offender site, I agree that the information I am accessing is to be used for informational and educational purposes only and will not be used to intimidate, harass or for the purpose of taking any unlawful action against any listed person.

This is precisely what anti-registration people were afraid of, as were the proponents.
