Retired country cop posing as girl nabs online predators

DIAMOND, Mo. — No one will ever confuse Jim Murray with a teenager. His tall frame, broad shoulders and clipped gray hair give him away for the grandfather he is.

But for a 69-year-old retired small-town police chief, Murray cuts a credible figure as a 13-year-old girl surfing the Web, looking for friends. He knows all the instant-messaging shorthand, the emoticons, the places to find men looking for sex with children.

Murray's retirement job from a rural home office has netted 20 arrests since he started in 2002, but his latest catch was the first elected official: four felony enticement charges against a small-town Missouri mayor, who after his arrest called Murray up and begged him to make the case go away.

The smallest shows on earth

The Kino shows mainly arthouse films but has the occasional blockbuster. It also serves wine and beer, which can be taken in. "The aim here is to attract regulars - older people and some younger people," says Imogen Snell, who works at the cinema. "We try to attract everybody. We aim at the community, and digital is a very different experience."

"It's good because it's a local business," adds local resident Kerry Beech, "and it's one of the first digital cinemas. It only has the one screen but it does the job and you don't have to go too far and get ripped-off. The car park is full every night."

"We're the alternative," says Imogen's brother and fellow employee Tom Snell. "We can afford to be personable with the customers because it is such a small team, and it is intimate. We don't have trailers either.

Assassin's Creed exceeds Crysis in system requirements

While a lot of what I write on DailyTech is centered around console gaming, the PC still commands a significant portion of my gaming time.
