West Palm Beach Police arrested Gary Dillard, 44, of Wellington on charges that he hired a hit man to take out Heidi Foster (aka MissInformation) of Herndon, VA. Sources say Dillard had moved back into second place in the well known "CD Unofficial Caption Contest" behind Foster, and he contracted with NASA engineer Dave Lavery for the hit, since Dave would have also benefited from Ms. Foster's demise. Police in Herndon released this photograph of the attempted hit, which indicates that Dillard overestimated Lavery's ability to carry out the act. Caption Contest Sponsor Billfred said "if it had been succesful Dillard would have been disqualified anyway, since this would qualify as a 'feat of engineering'. If he had hired an English major like Amanda Morrison, that would have been OK."
