he IDed himself - he was emailing people about the case.
Sigh. Did you even read my comments? I already addressed that. It does not matter whether the guy IDed himself by sending weird e-mails. You first have to trace those e-mails which may or may not (depending on whether the guy covered his tracks) give you an idea of where the guy is. Assuming that part was easy, you still have to find out where he is currently and apprehend him which takes a lot of cooperation with foreign law enforcement. Tons of people escape overseas and are never captured. I think this one time where they actually did get a suspect they were interested in that it's appropriate to give kudos where kudos are due and that's with the Thailand police.
Exactly.
