Baltimore County prosecutors played two taped confessions Tuesday in which John C. Gaumer admits to raping and beating to death a woman he met on MySpace.com. The 23-year-old describes the crime in dry detail.

Since FEW is a membership organization working for the elimination of sexual discrimination and the advancement of women in government, I would like to share some information regarding 'The Successful Job Interview' that was once provided to me from one of my former mentors," said [Arlena Fitch-Gordon]. "At one time in my federal career, the most important and best mentor that I ever had was my former director of the Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office, Ms. Geraldine Crane. She provided me information on 'The Successful Job Interview.' She made it a 'requirement' that one day I share this information as I began to assist other women in their professional development. It is my privilege to share that information with you now.
