Gaumer told police they started arguing in his car and he left the woman on the ramp from southbound I-95 to the Inner Loop of the Baltimore Beltway.

February 14, 200620 yr Too bad there was a billion and *ONE* warnings about meeting people you meet on a message board. Which reminds me, hey Queen, when you coming back down . . .
February 14, 200620 yr Please... who here hasn't murdered someone they met over the internet... ...ohhh wait...
February 15, 200620 yr This woman I work with, who is extremely smart, met someone on Myspace back in Jan and is now living with him and engaged. The guy doesn't have a job and has a psycho ex-girlfriend who stalks him and my co-worker...and she doesn't see anything wrong with it.
February 15, 200620 yr Well, I met my wife 'online'. The funny thing was, my ex-girlfriend signed me up for it sort of as a joke. Actually she was the one that was (at least) pyscho looking back. I don't think my wife is pyscho or going to kill me, at least the last time I checked.
February 15, 200620 yr QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 14, 2006 -> 08:01 PM) Well, I met my wife 'online'. That's how I met Brain. I think we each qualify as the psycho one, but not sure which one is more qualified .
February 15, 200620 yr Well when you have this many million people meeting through the internet, odds are stories like this will happen. I mean people get murdered by folks they meet in a more conventional manner too. There are psychos all over, regardless of if it's the internet or the club.
February 15, 200620 yr QUOTE(knightni @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 01:30 AM) I smellllll litigation against myspace coming. What would they sue for? Blame MySpace for a person the girl met turning out psycho?
February 15, 200620 yr I thought you "meat" people from the internet. Any whitesox.com old-schoolers here?
February 15, 200620 yr A guy I work with just left the company to go be with the girl he has had a 4 year online relationship with. I/we work in Crystal Lake, he was in Cary. Illinois. The girl he moved in with and the place he relocated to? Indonesia.

Well obviously I wasn't counting SoxTalk, everybody here is perfectly normal and that's why I fit right in. A guy I work with just left the company to go be with the girl he has had a 4 year online relationship with. I/we work in Crystal Lake, he was in Cary. Illinois.
