Google Searches Lead to Arrest of Young Arsonists in Denver

Denver authorities, initially unable to identify three hooded suspects involved in a deadly fire on Truckee Street, utilized Google searches to crack the case. Detectives discovered that the arsonists had searched the address and details about the home’s interior multiple times prior to the incident. This led to the arrest of teenagers Kevin Bui, Gavin Seymour, and Dillon Siebert. Bui orchestrated the arson based on a mistaken belief that his phone thieves resided at the location. The fire claimed five lives, resulting in Bui and Seymour receiving lengthy prison sentences, while Siebert was placed in juvenile detention. The use of “keyword-search warrants” in police investigations may expand pending court approvals, following successful implementation in Colorado. (Newser)
