Paul, 

Maybe I didn't read the story very closely, but I did not draw
the conclusion you did about the murderer.  It was only the surmise
of the non-technical Victor Apfel which declares the murderer to
be a program and the method to be a mysterious "carrier wave".  When
I read the story I supposed that humans were behind the whole thing
(although using a lot of computer resources) and that the victims
were hypnotized by means of their CRT's.
