Suspect ... the blunder that saw a hamster linked to a murder

A BLUNDER in a television news report has seen a hamster labelled as a murder suspect.

WFSB TV in Hartford, Connecticut was reporting on police interviewing a suspect in the 2000 disappearance of teenager Molly Bish.

The anchor told viewers a man being held in a Florida prison on suspicion of murder had been linked to kidnapping the 16-year-old.

But instead of showing a picture of the man, Rodney Stanger, the television station showed a picture of a hamster.

"The possible suspect Rodney Stanger seen here ... well this is not Rodney Stanger obviously," the newsreader said.

"Well we're going to get his picture. He's currently in a Florida jail accused of murdering his girlfriend."

Mr Stanger is awaiting trial in the slaying of his longtime girlfriend Chrystal A. Morrison, 50, last year, the Worcester Telegram reports.
Bonnie M. Kiernan, Ms Morrison’s sister, said days before her death Ms Morrison called and dropped cryptic hints that her boyfriend may have killed Molly.

Molly went missing while on lifeguard duty at Comins Pond in Massachusetts in June, 2000.
