Carol was not the only one speaking to the police about Robinson. In late March, the Lenexa Police Department in suburban Kansas City had also learned about Lore Remington and Tammy Taylor and their connections to Suzette. The cops were quite surprised at what they were hearing. If most detectives did not know a great deal about the Internet or the world of BDSM, they were now going to learn about the subculture of dominants and submissives, of bondage and discipline, and of sadomasochistic role-playing online. They also learned that Suzette had had affairs with Tammy and Lore, and both women were now extremely concerned about her disappearance. Lore and Carol communicated about Suzette, and the women were developing their own strategies to break through Robinson’s facade.

Lore knew Robinson in cyberspace as JRT or JT. After she began communicating with the police, she offered to use her on-line expertise to try to catch JRT in a lie or inconsistency. She would send him e-mail, get his e-mail in return, and forward it to the authorities. For the first time ever, a police department was using a civilian to investigate a homicide suspect in cyberspace. For decades, they’d used informants for other purposes, but they were now employing someone on-line to trip up Robinson.

As always, he was stimulated by the prospect of a new romance, thinking perhaps he could lure Lore to Kansas City. If she was interested in finding a great dominant in the cyber-world, he suggested, she should check out the address of eruditemaster, one of his on-line names. Lore followed through on this and the two began exchanging e-mails about establishing a master-slave relationship, but the trickery was about to take another turn. As they deepened their communications, Lore got a message from “Suzette,” assuring her that eruditemaster was a tremendous dominant and she should get involved with him. Lore also received Robinson’s favorite on-line picture of himself, the one of him standing out at his farm in his cowboy attire; he demanded naked pictures of Lore in return. The more Lore spoke to Robinson on the Net and the more that Robinson talked back—posing as both JT and Suzette—the more complicated the game became. Lore was certain that “Suzette” did not sound at all like herself, and she was increasingly worried that something terrible had happened to her friend. She was trying to “play” JT or JRT or eruditemaster to get a confession about a detail or a lie, but she was interacting with someone who’d eluded the authorities for decades when it came to connecting him with violent crime.

Lore expanded her strategy. She enlisted her other Internet friend Tammy Taylor to start e-mailing JT, to see if he would say anything to her that would confirm her own suspicions. Tammy posed on-line as a woman who was looking to become a submissive to a new master. She too was trying to play him for information and also wanted to pass the exchanges along to the Lenexa police.
