Anchorage Daily News | People flock to online journal after 16-year-old's arraignment

"Just to let everyone know, my mother was murdered."

This simple yet startling sentence marks the last entry Rachelle Waterman made in her Internet journal before she was arrested on charges she participated in killing her mother. And it marks the beginning of an online discussion that's as remarkable for its popularity as its content.

Let's hope that the mainstream media won't make this into a "Livejournal Killer" story, as if a suspect's blogging might somehow have something to do with the murder. Just as people can't resist slowing down to take a good look at an accident scene, apparently people just want to hop over the yellow tape and do a little amateur analysis of the blog, looking for evidence,.
