Please do not post about random people you find on social networking sites. We do not sleuth random people. (I understand the reasoning for doing so, and it's FANTASTIC if you find something and report it, but please do not post about it here.) And this isn't just directed at one person, but the whole group should be aware.
It's one thing to say, "I was looking at the page and saw a friend lived here. I'll report it." But it's entirely different to say, "The friend with the initials ___ lives ___ and maybe he has heard from him because ___ and ___ were in that photo album too." I understand that initials were used, but it's one small step from sleuthing McCune's friends to his family members or his friends family members.
I hope that makes sense. There's always a bit of confusing regarding social media things, so I hope that helps clear things up a bit.

Also, social networking pages may only be linked if they are directly related to a case, i.e. the victim or suspect. We don't want to post to someone's mother, brother, employer, milkman, or postal carrier just because they know the main player. We also NEVER link to minor's pages (unless they are the victim). And be sure that the page actually belongs to the person being discussed. Do not link to someone if you are not 100% sure it is the correct person. And if a social networking is set to private and you get in the back way, you may not post what you find. Private means private!
