did glenn beck rape and murder a young girl in 1990?

That's the question being asked by a web site titled, appropriately enough, "DidGlennBeckRapeAndMurderAYoungGirlIn1990.com"

To quote from the site's welcome message:
"This site exists to try and help examine the vicious rumour that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990. We don't claim to know the truth -- only that the rumour floating around saying that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990 should be discussed. So we're going to do our part to try and help get to the bottom of this.

"Why won't Glenn Beck deny these allegations? We're not accusing Glenn Beck of raping and murdering a young girl in 1990 - in fact, we think he didn't! But we can't help but wonder, since he has failed to deny these horrible allegations. Why won't he deny that he raped and killed a young girl in 1990?"
Readers can contribute their own evidence to the site. One reader writes:
"Not to add to the rumor mongering, but have no knowledge of any plausible alibi Glenn Beck has that would prove he didn't rape and murder that girl in 1990. Lexis Nexis provides 0 articles that state Glenn Beck didn't rape and murder a girl for the entire year of 1990."
Zero articles on Lexis Nexis! Why doesn't he just come forward and prove he didn't rape and murder a young girl in 1990? What does he have to hide?

Although I'm sure my regular readers don't need any clarification, for any random lawyers who might show up here as the result of a Google search, I quote the following from the bottom of the home page of the site in question:
"Notice: This site is parody/satire. We assume Glenn Beck did not rape and murder a young girl in 1990, although we haven't yet seen proof that he didn't. But we think Glenn Beck definitely uses tactics like this to spread lies and misinformation.

"Read the last sentence again. That's the point."
