On its face, it looks like there are multiple people, for lack of a better way of saying it, talking trash, but they all seem to have some common threads and be saying the same things and communicating in the same ways, using the same rhetoric, the same punctuation, the same spelling mistakes.

Once we got the social media and the internet returns on the search warrants for the email, instant messages, all that, we had found where Janelle had sent pictures of Chris. or who she was claiming to be Chris. And it turned out to be a guy that she went to high school with up in Pennsylvania.

He thought that I was kidding. I mean, he remembered Janelle. He remembered having a couple classes with her. He remembered that, you know, she was kind of socially awkward, that didn't really get along with people, didn't have any friends. And he was nice to her.
