It's like the plot of a movie thriller. A person claiming to be a killer sent an anonymous letter to a US newspaper calling the murder a "masterpiece" and threatening to kill again. A symbol used in the letter to the Fayetteville Observer is identical to one found written in lipstick on a mirror in the hotel room where Megan Touma's body was discovered nine days ago.
The letter was received by the North Carolina daily last Wednesday and immediately turned over to the police. But the paper did not disclose its existence to its readers until this story appeared on Saturday. Police originally asked the paper not to make it public.
Touma, 23, a US army dental specialist, had been dead for several days before her decomposing body was found in a bathtub. She was seven months' pregnant.
