TMZ: The investigation into who threatened to shoot up an New York City screening of Surviving R. Kelly...has led cops to someone in R. Kelly's hometown...
The police's person of interest is a man with Chicago's 773 area code...Cops aren't ready to release the man's name yet, and it's unclear if he has any direct connection to Kelly...

A direct connection to Kelly? No way -- definitely a "loyal" deranged fan. The call may have come from Kelly's home town, but if Kelly is clever enough to run a sex slave colony for nearly twenty years without being jailed, he MUST be clever enough to arrange for an untraceable phone threat! |
