Baltimore robbery website

When Baltimore police put out a wanted post and a video of a suspected armed robber yesterday, they linked to a web page I hadn't seen before. Apparently, it's been up for a year, designed by detectives in the robbery unit.

If you ever want to watch a slide show of three dozen wanted posters, this is where you go. But that's not all -- there are podcasts that allow detectives to narrate the scenario, so you can watch video of the crime and listen to the officer describe his case.
