Strudels originate from Hungary and the poster on Beagle link appears to be from Hungary so I say Hans Strudle is behind all this :)

Good work, Maruchan, as usual. It has, however, gone way beyond an online witch hunt. It's become physically dangerous. Like in the real world. I'm really afraid someone could get hurt or killed before this is all over. You're right, it needs to stop. Online and off-line. But I'm not holding my breath.

I had a nice, long chat with DW's mom earlier this evening. I called her (after all, her number took about two minutes to find - I found it last week). I didn't call to ask her any questions about her son, and I didn't ask her any. I called only to warn her that the person who had appeared on her doorstep yesterday was misleading her in his interest in her son. She wanted to know how in the world I knew Sam had come to her house and had to explain to her that her son and now his family were being featured on two blogs, and that the conversation she had was posted on Sam's blog. She only had dial-up and couldn't access the blog while we were on the phone, so I read her Sam's blog post. She claims she never said what Sam wrote - "Her first question:'oh, that was the girl who was killed in New Hampshire?'" - she knew Maura had disappeared, not been killed, and said she wouldn't have said that. I told her about Renner's blog, and I gave her the website addresses for both blogs and impressed on her that Renner was trying to tie Maura's disappearance to her son. I told her that her son's photographs and name were posted on both websites where they will now come up in any Google searches of him. I also warned her that many of his followers were actively trying to find as much information about her son as they could, and that she should be careful as she might receive phone calls or visits from other unscrupulous people like Sam who would lie to her about their purpose in trying to locate her son. I also informed her that if her son did get in touch with Renner and refused to answer any questions that he would be deemed by him and his followers as being even more of a suspicious person who was hiding something. She thanked me for calling and warning her. She was a very nice lady who felt violated by a stranger coming to her door, giving her a false name and questioning her under false pretenses.
This witch hunt needs to stop, NOW.

Renner's blog was getting good again; now Green has slithered his way back on the scene it will go down faster than a Brazilian hooker.

Maruchan made put the fear into David Whalen. He will be less likely to talk and more will be written about him. David Whalen will seem more suspicious.

This implies transparency, as if you are being honest in your dealings with others by providing an email address. It implies, to me, that you feel you are not trying to hide anything, and that you are different than DW, who you feel IS hiding something.
But you are not being honest at all. If you were, you would use your real name.
I'm really stunned by your complete lack of ethics. You approached the mother of a person who you are trying to help Renner tie to Maura's disappearance, you lied and implied that your mission was a purely innocent one, and you used a false name to do so. I'm sure the phone number you gave her couldn't be traced back to you as well. I'm sure of this because you told her your name was Samuel, which you and I both know is not your real name.

I am also pretty sure that he is now posting on Websleuths under the name "Fireweed."

I am surprised you think so. The writing styles are completely different. Fireweed uses ordinary words despite being well spoken. Green would never be able to resist talking down to anyone reading. His words would be bigger and less direct than those used by Fireweed. It would also be interesting to hear, if Fireweed was Green, about the affair with a married man referenced in one of Fireweeds earliest posts.
