Mother said Josh Powell threatened her
DETROIT, Jan. 15 (UPI) -- People from all over the country are calling Detroit police after a woman posted a video on the Web saying she infected men with the AIDS virus, police say.
Deputy chief James Tolbert says authorities are taking the allegations seriously even though investigators think the video could be a hoax, The Detroit News reported Friday.
Tolbert said police have received tips from people who say they know who the woman is and that she lives in Detroit.
In the video, posted on the Website Mediatakeout.com, the woman claims to have infected more than 500 people since contracting HIV in 1998.
"I'm pretty upset, so I set out to destroy the world because they haven't came up (sic) with a cure for this (expletive), and now I have to suffer," the woman says on the video.
It is a felony in Michigan and other states to knowingly transmit HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
