Man Confesses to Hunting Convicted Sex Offenders

BELLINGHAM, Wash. A man turned himself in to authorities in the killing of two convicted child rapists, saying he picked the victims from a sheriff's Web site, police said.

Michael Anthony Mullen, 36, called 911 on Monday to claim responsibility for the killings, and officers who talked to him said he gave information that only the killer would know, according to a police news release. He was jailed for investigation of two counts of first-degree murder.

Hank Eisses, 49, and Victor Vasquez, 68, were found shot to death at their apartment Aug. 27. They were both classified as Level III sex offenders, considered the type most likely to reoffend. Sex offenders in Washington are required to register with local authorities, and the information is provided on the Web.

Mullen told authorities he targeted at least one of the two men after checking the county sheriff's Web site July 13, according to the police statement.

The bodies of Eisses and Vasquez were found by a roommate, also a sex offender. He said a man wearing a blue jumpsuit and a cap that said FBI on it came to their home, told them he was an FBI agent and said one of them was on a "hit list" on an Internet site, police said.

The roommate said he left while the "FBI" visitor was still there and found the bodies when he returned about four hours later.

Days after the killings, The Bellingham Herald received an unsigned letter claiming responsibility for the killings. Police notified convicted Level 3 sex offenders in the area as a precaution, but said the letter was vague and could be a hoax.

You can give me all the lectures in the world about how there's a reason street justice isn't allowed in our society and that this was wrong of him to do, but it would still not make me angry at this man...I wish there had been a little more street justice in the NO convention center...

By him turning himself in, it makes me think that he originally thought he could fill the roll of judge,jury and executioner. After doing the crimes it looks like the man's concience took over.

It is hard to stand by the fact that this man did a crime and to not feel for him. But its a sad thing that people even have to feel the urge to take the law into thier own hands. Most people that work in the legal field will tell you that most the time thier hands are tied as to how much they can do. As long as the laws are slanted and focussed on the defendants rights, then things will be the same for a long while.

Its a slippery slope to say the least.

Prime example of hands tied...

Here in our department, things are slowly disappearing from places that normally students can't access (and it happened during the summer when little to no students were around only grad students/lab techs/etc)...
You have to have a key card to get in the building after hours... naturally the access is documented/logged by the police..

Everyone knows that its the cleaning crew at night (even the cops)... But until we catch them in the acts... Laptops/Overhead projecters/Blank CDs will continue to come up missing....

We're in the same boat... lots of things came up missing in our school over the summer - and there's no way to prove where they went - we had cleaning crews, construction crews (remodeling the school), district maintenance crews.. and they all kept leaving the doors unlocked and propped open because the district was too cheap to turn on the air...

Now we've no way to recover any of the lost school or personal items.. Sad
