WESTFIELD, Mass., June 30 (UPI) -- The editor of CultureKitchen.com says she has tracked down the source of unauthorized pictures of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
Liza Sabater said she received an e-mail last week from someone offering to sell more than 400 photos of Jolie and Pitt.
"I thought it was a hoax because the e-mail included the addresses of 15 other people they had contacted. It seemed so sloppy, not professional at all," Sabater said.
Attached to the e-mail were three snapshots, Pitt and Jolie playing with balloons, another with feather boas wrapped around their heads, plus a picture of Jolie holding Zahara, their adopted 18-month-old daughter, CBS reported Friday.
"I really didn't want to publish them at all," Sabater said, "but I had seen a similar photograph on an Asian or Australian online newspaper and that's the one I posted."
A day and a half later, a cease-and-desist message from a lawyer.
Sabater said some "cyber detective work and a tip from one of her readers" helped her trace the e-mail allegedly to a "computer expert" and custom van enthusiast in Westfield, Mass.
She then posted on her blog the name of her suspected e-mailer. Sabater can't say for sure if investigators were tipped off by the information posted on her Web site, but she'd like to think so.
