Missing Girl Hoax Suspect Gave FBI Tips

The woman accused of calling an Indiana couple and falsely claiming to be their long-lost daughter had been an FBI informant in the past.

Donna L. Walker, who was held by Kansas authorities Friday in lieu of $100,000 bail, provided tips to authorities about child pornographers.

"Periodically, she on her own initiative would call us, and we would evaluate the information," FBI spokeswoman Beth Anne Steele told The Associated Press on Saturday.

Federal court papers say an informant identified as "Donna" frequently posed as a young girl to lure child pornographers out of the shadows of the Internet and turn them over to authorities in Arizona, California, Kentucky and Washington. Donna Walker was later subpoenaed as a witness, and federal officials as well as Walker have acknowledged that she was the informant, The Oregonian reported in Saturday's editions.

"Like all criminal informants, you've got to separate the wheat from the chaff," FBI Special Agent Richard Davidson said Friday from Chico, Calif. "You know what issues she's got. But she does have some good information - or has in the past."

So, explain this to me. The FBI seems to be aware that this "frequent" wit was mentally/emotionally disturbed. Is this really the best they have?

1. Truly scary

Just read this on the P-I website and was going to post it. I don't even know what to make of it, but it certainly doesn't reflect very well on the FBI. Personally, I find the idea of posing as kids on the Internet to be creepy in itself, but that's just me.

2. I wonder how much "terrorist" activity this dimwit reported to FBI

How many people were detained after 9/11 on the basis of her delusional snitching?
