This might be of interest to websleuthers: the article suggests that perps actually DO follow social media..... Here's what the TO Sun says about Kera's case and Sonia Varaschin's:

"TORONTO - Wonder if Sonia Varaschin's brutal killer follows the Toronto Sun on Twitter?
The man arrested Thursday in Calgary and accused of Kera Freeland's murder does.
It's not unusual for killers on the lam to keep up on social media.
Russell Williams did. The disgraced former colonel was a regular on police and media websites looking at whatever clues may be offered.
Luka Magnotta was also keeping up with the investigation in the murder of Lin Jun while he was in Paris before his arrest last year.
When you are allegedly trying to hide something that heinous it only makes common sense to keep one eye on the door.
When you are out there free, it's always good to keep up on what might be going on with a case you can be sure has not been forgotten by police.
With today's technology it's just a matter of time before the knock on the door comes.
Or should it be that it won't be long before that door is kicked down.
The reality is if police have DNA evidence from a murder scene, it's only a matter of time before they come up with a match because they are won't stop looking until they do.
An example is this Freeland case. They found her body in Caledon in March 2011 and all old-school-type investigative leads seemed to be going nowhere.
It seems whoever dumped her body out there in a ditch was a ghost.
"Investigators never lost focus," said OPP Sgt. Peter Leon. "We always say in a case like this, 'as each day passes we are one day closer to making an arrest.' "
Christopher Andronakos found that out first-hand.
He was arrested in Calgary Thursday morning and is expected to be brought back to Ontario Friday to face murder charges. The 35-year-old, who had been Freeland's roommate in Toronto, was, according to sources, interviewed soon after her disappearance.
Two years later he's in custody.
Today's science can be formidable. It's going to be interesting to see if there was some DNA assistance from the pregnant Freeland's fetus to help police get to where they got to.
Time will tell. The charges against Andronakos are only allegations and have not been tested in court. He will have his opportunity to defend himself.
So when's it going to be the turn Varaschin's killer? The 42-year-old nurse was viciously murdered in her Orangeville home three years ago this summer.
What is your name? Where are you?
Like in the Freeland case, there's a feeling that someone is getting away with murder.
But the game is never over.
Varaschin's killer has got to be wondering when an OPP officer like Sgt. Jim Smyth might drop by for a chat?
Or if this has already happened, the killer is only left to wonder.
In Varaschin's case, there are three crime scenes and the word passion was used to describe what kind of killing it was.
It can't be easy to sleep. Three crime scenes surely provided the crime lab specialists something to run through their computer.
"It's very complex and very active," Leon said. "We don't close the books on these until we find the person responsible."
Keep reading the Toronto Sun, Sonia's killer, because we are going to stay on it too."
