Myspace Helps Catch Killer
Who said SNS sites can’t do any good? Just recently, police in Oakland, USA were able to catch a murderer by logging in and finding clues on the myspace website.
Soon after, the authorities were able to apprehend the suspect in the senseless killing of San Leandro High School football player Greg “Doody” Ballard, Jr. According to Bay Area news station KTVU’s website; Police say 19-year-old Dwayne Stancill didn’t have a reason — couldn’t give a reason — for killing the popular San Leandro High School football player.
“There was no argument. There were no harsh words. There was no … anything that would normally provoke a violent response from someone from what we typically see,” explained Oakland Police Sergeant Tony Jones. “He told us he just shot him.”
Police also said that they were able to identify Stancill via clues they got from his gang’s myspace page.
The arrest came at the time that the whole community was mourning the loss of Doody Ballard. The suspect is now in custody and behind bars. The parents and friends of Ballard are relieved that good police work with the help of technology led to the arrest.
Still, the cops are baffled as to the senseless and unprovoked killing.
