I have never thought about this much until this case, but I wonder how thorough LE digs into online purchases made by POI and their businesses. For instance, someone the other day posted an alibaba shop item listing of the POLICE patches. I had no idea you could just buy that sort of thing online, but sure enough - you can even buy them on ebay for around 15 bucks. That's pretty creepy. Once they narrow in on a suspect, I wonder how far back LE would delve into this sort of thing. Then remembering a convo I had here with SteveS regarding alibis and my tendency to "complicate" simple things. I imagine digging through that sort of thing can get really complicated. But what do I know? Is it as simple as clicking a couple buttons and hey, presto! you get a full paypal/checking account/credit card record with all the items purchased in the next column? Or is it more like search warrants required, followed by weeks of digging through digital paper trails, sellers, buyers, shipping addresses, etc?
