Use of the internet in police investigation
In September 2007 Chuck Cohen a 1st sergeant with the Indiana State Police told a class in Louisiana of 21 law enforcement agencies, studying "how criminals often leave an online trail at social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook," that the Taylor Behl case marked one of the first times that police narrowed down their suspect pool using a MySpace friends list. Cohen said that Ben Fawley's Internet footprint eventually led police to Behl's body.[7]

In light of a semi-nasty comment made yesterday by someone (I can't remember who, it was a brand new member) about how "funny" it was that we were looking at the myspace and facebook pages of Casey and her friends. This person seemed to think that there was no value in investigating such irrelevant stuff, lol.
