I'm re-thinking the cyber aspect of this crime due to a recent case in Plainfield, Indiana. This guy was never in Indiana so he's not BG but I wonder if LE were considering a Delphi connection in the beginning. They just caught him on Aug. 7.
I'm posting these snips and links to show it can take a long time to track down cyber crimes.

Brian Kil was the name used by a guy who turned Plainfield (and at least 2 other towns) upsidedown in an attempt to become the worst cyber terrorist who ever lived. He started by hacking teen girls' cloud accounts.
Using online accounts, Hernandez (real name) approached minors and said he had lewd or sexually explicit videos and photos, court documents said. He then asked for more and threatened to expose them unless they sent additional photos and videos.
From Dec. 17, 2015, through Jan. 11, 2016, Hernandez opened 10 Facebook accounts in order to make threats and then disabled them, investigators said. From Jan. 11, 2016, through Jan. 27, 2016, he opened and closed 14 Facebook accounts. Hernandez opened an additional two accounts on Feb. 16, 2017.
In the federal indictment, Hernandez said he wanted to ratchet up the drama and compared the threats to a soap opera. In a series of Facebook posts, he admitted he never knew the Plainfield teen, referring to her as unlucky for getting hacked.
Truth is, I lied about knowing her, Hernandez wrote on Facebook. I dont know [Victim 1]. Ive never met her. Shes just a girl who was very unlucky and had her cloud storage hacked. From there I dragged her through the mud by spreading lies and misinformation to reach my goals that really had no relation with her whatsoever. I basically used her as an access point to attack an entire town.
Hernandez said he made it all up. His demand for an apology from the victim and her mother was a complete fabrication.
