Police are investigating allegations that the suspects discussed killing the detective. One of the suspects allegedly obtained an address and personal information of the detective and members of his family. (H/T - CBS3)

Before you ask, no I am not the detective involved. I only receive death threats from SYLG's readers.

Okay, this is not a laughing matter, since I know many homicide detectives. While the assassination plot is despicable, I can't stop thinking about how the suspects received the detective's personal information. The internet is a great thing, but unfortunately, it is relatively easy to find someone's personal information here. My guess - and it is only a guess at this point - is that these toads found the information on a site similar to ZabaSearch.

Thankfully, this plot was discovered in time, and hopefully any co-conspirators will be found and arrested.
