Sadeness, Thanks for the definition of reporter. Even in the face of that definition, I still take the stand that it would be unethical and a LIE. I have no desire to argue this point with you. You cannot convince me that it would be right to approach the store owner, "as a reporter" just in an effort to satisfy the curiosity of those of us on this web site. Let's face it, the margin of error here on the, was it or was it not the "Tim Luke" we "knew," is very slim. Those pieces of this puzzle all fit together. (And I see that you agree with at least that much) Lie....1 : to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive 2 : to create a false or misleading impression Deception....1 a : the act of deceiving b : the fact or condition of being deceived Scene 1 Potential customer, <walks into jewelry store> "HI, I'd like to speak with the owner." Shopkeeper, "How can I help you, I am the store owner." Potential Customer <aka faux reporter> "I am a reporter, and I would like to ask you some questions regarding the attempted robbery of your store, back in July." <continuing on> I really hope you don't mind, I just need to satisfy the curiosity of some people who knew the robbery suspect, from an online stocks/investment site. <pushing picture into storekeepers face> You wouldn't mind identifying this picture of the suspect for us, would you?? I know this might be difficult for you, since you are the one who fatally shot the man. But, we really "need" to know this information. The confirmation we received from the police investigator is simply not enough for us. You don't mind do you?? It's not like you probably don't see this man's face every night when you try to sleep.... <fade to scene 2>

I just had a brain storm... Do you think that we could possibly find a blood sample <maybe the reporter could find a spot in the store still....> and just maybe, maybe we could find a doctor here on SI that would do a DNA test on it, then we'd really have the proof nailed down.... <brilliant sherlock, even if I say so myself>

ROFLMAO!! <<"It would not be a lie. Beating the street with a picture and reporting the findings on a world wide forum fits the definition of a reporter.">> WOW!! No sane person could believe that statement. This is just a bullshit thread with a few trying to justify a criminals actions as they knew him by email or phone and thought he was different than he proved to be. That would not be reporting,, the reporting & investigating was finished months ago,, now it is harrassing for no purpose.. NO PURPOSE! If your sense of morbidity needs more satisfaction send a FOIA request to the police for reports and pics,,
