My question which the media has ignored - - who is Jill Lynn Farell?

From Reply 15 on this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/776379/posts

From the Washington Post

The credit card in question belonged to a Greyhound bus driver in Flagstaff, Ariz., whose driver's license and credit cards were stolen March 25. The woman, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the cards were taken from a pouch behind her seat while she was driving a bus on the 337-mile route between Nogales, Ariz., and Flagstaff.

She did not realize the Visa card had been stolen until Bank of America's fraud control branch wrote her April 11, saying it had automatically closed the account after the Visa was used for a $12.01 gasoline purchase in Tacoma, Wash., that the bank believed to be fraudulent.

"That was the end of that, until last Sunday when I had the FBI calling me at Greyhound, saying that through this credit card they [had a link to] the people involved with the sniping," she said.

As noted above, the Post did not hide her name in the .pdf file it released. I guess the Post's word is not its bond...

The WP article is linked in that reply, but I didn't take the link; so I don't know if that is the same name you have found or not.

How were the two able to use a credit card made out in a woman's name?

The credit card story is either very bad reporting (entirely possible) or total BS. When's the last time your credit card company became concerned over a $12.01 charge -- especially since, according to the WP, the card had not been reported as stolen?

The acceptance of a woman's credit card from a male probably goes on a zillion times a day in America, though -- I doubt some store clerks would even know, or care, that "Jill" is a woman's name.
