In several towns surrounding the city of Boston, Ma, a chain of several perverse internet occurances leading to the murder of several young adults, ranging in ages from 16-23, seemingly ceased with the finding of 42-year old, Eric Mackenzie, of Watertown, Ma. He was found, murdered, in his own basement. Unfortunately it was only the beginning of a newly popularized version of mass-stalking.
The trend all began when several young adult facebook users received friend requests from an unknown user. The username belonged to a hacked facebook account, owned by Eric Mackenzie. The account always generated mutual friends by choosing 15 friends of the target at random. The account was always gendered as the target’s sexual preference, and a randomized main picture would be used featuring a young and attractive male or female. All reports indicated that each character was different from the next, but always featured a young adult.
