I remember the night that we figured out it was him very vividly. This one will stick out to me for the rest of my life. I was getting home from a trip as an airline pilot and I got a call from Madison. And I don't ever receive phone calls from Madison. We don't call, we text. So if I get a phone call, something's wrong. And I pick up the phone and she's like, I think we might know who it is.

And I'm like, Really? She's like, yeah, I'm pretty sure. And I was like, well, spit it out. Don't make me wait. And she goes, Yankee. I'm like, come on. No fucking way, right? First of all, one of my close friends. Second of all, I didn't even think he was intelligent enough or tech savvy enough to even figure out how 4chan worked. If you knew him well, I mean...

It had to have taken a while to figure it out. We are not dealing with a rocket surgeon here. So I couldn't, I told her, I was like, no way. And mind this, Jack, it had been years where anybody in the room could have been the guy. And there were accusations flung at just about anybody in our life. You know what I mean? It's this guy, it's that guy, it's this guy, it's your best friend.

Like, you know, all these kind of just weird feelings. Can you imagine? You know what I mean? If those are your photos on the internet and every single person in your life is a suspect, it's got to be horrible, right? So I had heard them postulate that it could be one of my friends several times. And I always said, no, no. And I did exactly what I did on that night.

I said, there's no freaking way. It's not him. One, I don't think he's got it in him. He's not that malicious. Two, I think he's too dumb to even figure all this out. But it kind of rattled around in my brain and I couldn't sleep that night. So I got home. And I started looking up the kick names. I started connecting the kick names. And that's what you can do on 4chan.

You can't do it even on 4chan because it disappears within two hours. But the 4chan archive sites, you can search them. And that's how we sort of tied him to all these posts was he had about five or six kick names and I just searched the kick names. And all these random women would come up, including my wife and her sister.

And then there was one that stuck out that night, and it was a girl, a young girl, looked to be 13, 14 years old in a Catholic school outfit that was posted by the same user as the user that was harassing my wife and my sister-in-law. And I downloaded the photo. It was not a nude photo. It was just a girl.

It was a girl, and the text attached to it was horrifying, something like, I want nudes of this girl or I want to rape her or something. And so I download this photo, and there's an embroidered crest or logo on her school uniform. And, um, it's kind of pixelated, but I don't, I, you know, I enhanced it and I sharpened it and I sharpened it.

And I finally was able to make out the words on this photo. And it turns out it was a Catholic girls, middle school, middle school in Daytona. Uh, So I said, hmm, okay, well, I know he's got family in Daytona. Maybe there's something here.

So you jump on Facebook, and within 10 minutes, I was able to find the girl's name and her mom and dad's name, and they were mutual friends and identified family members on his Facebook page. That was his little cousin. Wow. And that's kind of when it all hit. Like, holy shit, it's him.
