on behalf of siliconvalleywatcher.com i will say that, yes, our prime mover source was the link to the myspace found in the tmz.com comment section. however, that provided no substantive proof to tie lonelygirl to jessica rose; only when we queried the myspace username in google and found the cached version from last spring did things really get rolling (my feeling). the similarities between that faceless person and the bree character were intriguing enough to look into it further: where we found the cached thumbnails of Jessica Rose's headshot. that is roughly the story.

Yep, sounds like what happened. The MySpace profile was the source. From there on out, I guess various people tried googling and checking the cached pages. Maybe on the second part some people did this simultaneously.
But whoever found the MySpace is the winner.

It is odd that the myspace pic doesn't look much like "Bree." You can only see half of their faces.
Maybe she had a different pic up before? Did it only go private recently?
I dunno, it just seems weird for this guy to stumble upon it all.
But, if tmz knew the story beforehand, the comments section would be a good way to get the story out in a sly fashion.
Anyone talk to this Jeremy person to get the whole story? If he is on the up and up, he deserves a lot of credit. Good work.

I admit. I DID not point out the connection b/w jessica rose and bree first. All I DID was look up the supposed myspace on the tmz website and find the cache which made me think it was bree. Then I posted it here.
As for the photobucket things, I did not find them. Someone else did.

But, I thought he was a dentist from a town that didn't exist in that county?

Funny that the guy who casually posted that comment on TMZ on the 10th and he didn't really like her. www.myspace.com/romo86

Everyone gets credit because without everyone her popularity/investigation never would have existed.

I agree. Everyone gets credit on this one. But the guy who deserves the most credit is the one that put it on tmz.

I am pretty bothered with the silicon valley article as well. Because they completely omit the tmz part. The pbs article does mention it and he says he did the same thing I did. I posted the original message at 1.41 AM on September 12. The silicon valley article was not posted till September 12 as well ( unknown time). I wonder who got googled it first... me or them. :?

It seems this is the "dentist" in question.

Ok... who's the "dentist".. I am completely lost on that. I remember reading the silicon valley article after I posted the thread and it did not mention tmz. Now.... when I told Alissa how I found it....then it was when it mentioned tmz. Maybe I am wrong. But please correct me. Did the silicon valley article mention tmz before I did?
