Cassidy grew up playing army games with cousins and re-creating Civil War battles on a Ping-Pong table covered with fake grass and tiny trees in the basement of his Carmel, Ind., home.

The more people who log on to watch the agony, the more the victim is tortured, unto death. This allows the perp to think he's not the one killing his victims; it's the viewers, those sick voyeurs glued to their screens. They are voting for the victim's painful death simply by watching, in a sort of American Idol for sadists. The site...
