    Scariest search records: AOL saves crew of Oceanic flight 815

    Readers have responded to our challenge to find the scariest search record exposed by AOL last weekend.

    Benjamin Stein of Alltooflat.com found this:

    User 14360837 2006-05-22 23:52:36
    if anyone should find this message please get word i'm alive and stranded on an island somewhere in the south pacific. please send help soon. things are bad. and they're getting worse...sally

    Is this whole fiasco a viral campaign for the third season of Lost? After the jump, another reader finds something a touch creepier.

    Here's something pretty creepy. Let's look at user 39509 in file #1. He searched for:

    oklahoma disciplined doctors oklahoma disciplined pastors tons of myspace layouts including "religious graphics for myspace" sequoyah county oklahoma sex offenders sequoyahcountysheriff.org sanyo tv serial number b9300244587937 rental properties in tahlequah oklahoma chase bad kids tahlequah public schools

    and then the creepy part:

    pre teen porn pics

    (more than once)

    That's clearly enough information that could identify him, especially
    the TV serial number... Now this guy, based on what he's up to, I
    wouldn't mind so much if he was identified, but ... you get the idea.
