Brandt has written that ''"In the early 1990s, American journalist John K. Cooley worked with Pierre Salinger at the London bureau of ABC News, and was involved with the investigation of Lockerbie. In his email to Brandt, he described how they hired an impressive and energetic Linda Mack, who was eager to investigate the bombing. But after a while it became clear that Linda was trying to push journalists toward the official version of the story that accused Libya. It wasn't long before a special unit of Scotland Yard raided ABC News and seized certain materials. Because only a few people knew about the seized material, Salinger realized that this was the work of Linda Mack, and he locked her out of her office. ABC's efforts to fight the seizure were unsuccessful in court. Daniel Brandt had already announced the identification of SlimVirgin as Linda Mack publicly, and she knew that he was about to ask John Cooley for information. She called Cooley as a former colleague and asked him not to speak to Brandt. But her request was late — an email from Cooley to Brandt had already been sent."'' <ref>[http://www.wikipedia-watch.org/russmag.html Wikipedia-Watch]</ref>

Salinger, who was based in London, spent a considerable amount of time and energy investigating the bombing of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie. ''"I know that these two Libyans had nothing to do with it. I know who did it and I know exactly why it was done,"'' Salinger said during his testimony at the Zeist trial, where one of the Libyans was convicted of murdering the 270 victims. <ref>[http://english.ohmynews.com/articleview/article_view.asp?no=374006&rel_no=1 Ohmynews]</ref>

Shortly after her Wikipedia identity was uncovered, many of her edits to articles related to the attack were permanently removed from the database in an attempt to conceal her identity. This discovery comes only months after another Wikipedia admin  --the infamous Essjay-- was caught lying about his credentials to the press. <ref>[http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/07/27/1943254 Wikipedia infiltrated by Intelligence agents?]</ref>

But attempts to track her through Internet technology failed. Once again, Brandt patiently assembled tiny clues about Slim Virgin and posted them on Wikipedia Review and Wikipedia-Watch.org. Eventually, two readers identified her. Slim Virgin was no other than Linda Mack, the young graduate Salinger hired. <ref>[http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?showtopic=11173 Wikipedia Review]</ref>
