After three annoyingly creepy Craigslist postings on the whereabouts of sexual assault suspect and former Women's Wear Daily reporter Peter Braunstein (the author of which made a shadowy appearance on Fox News), we find the following to be nothing short of fantastic:

Will not kill himself. Yet.

He is still out there, posting.
In my opinion, the Braunstein poster is, right now, three things:

1. Playing Urban Dead or a similar MMORPG in the background while he types his latest Braunstein-related posting.

Highly plausible. As always, there's more after the jump.

2. Working on his novel about a heroic, 30-something Craigslist poster who brings down an evil pervert con artist using nothing but his sociology degree and three seasons of CSI DVDs. There'll be a "will he or won't he?" part where the lead finds himself getting into the mind of the villain a bit too deeply, but he manages to bring himself back at the last minute. He hasn't figured out the ending yet, but it will no doubt involve the hero climbing a fire escape and saving a willowy Fairchild staffer.
3. Living in his parents' basement, possibly in Jersey

He feels he wants to/needs to do "something" "with" "his" "pathetic" "life"

If I were a bored New Yorker and LOOKING for this guy, I'd check out the following places:
- NY Public Libraries
- NY peep booth places and low-rent strip joints and adult video stores - especially those like the Sports Memorabilia place on West 38th that sells all those pantyhose fetish videos in the back room
- Starbucks (out of the way locations in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx or S.I.)
- Movie theaters
- Barnes & Noble bookstores
- SRO Hotels

I'd also check Learning Annex "How to be a true crime writer" sessions and open forum discussions over whether Craigslist posts are the new blogs.

Goodluck.
