KILLER GOT VICTIMS’ NAMES OFF ONLINE REGISTRY

Stephen A. Marshall, a 20 year old Canadian man who shot two sex offenders to death in Maine, got their names from the state's online sex offender registry.  Marshall committed suicide Sunday in Boston after being cornered by police.  The victims were killed at their homes 25 miles apart but they were among 34 names Marshall had looked up on the state Web site.  This renews fears that such lists expose ex-convicts to vigilante violence.
