He saw Mr Maitland turn around at the shouts and groans coa that Most of the photos that have been uploaded aren’t relevant, they’re froe, yearbook photos, or photos with friends horsing around We’ve found several photos of the cri no real detail because of the snow or because the cops had already established a solid perimeter around the Lincoln Meh, that was very close and very clear"

"This is the photo," Savich said, and brought it up onto the screen "It’s the one Mrs Cronin saw on the Internet that led Mr Cronin to call us It’s a close-up, straight-on view of Tommy’s face Was it taken by To credit and publicizing his killing? Or by soht it would be cool to post it? There were no comments posted with it"

Ollie said, "Or maybe even a cop"

Savich said, "No one wants a cop to be the source Believewith all the photos by tracking down the IP addresses they were posted from We have all of them already, except for this one"

"What’s the holdup?" Coop asked

Savich said, "Our techs have run into a roadblock, because whoever posted this photo used a bogus YouTube account and a proxy server to hide his tracks We’re up against a co and kne to protect hiest reason we have to believe the killer or killers posted this picture, and not soet Spooner in on this? You’ve said yourself, Savich, it takes one to catch one"

"You’re right," Savich said

Ollie said, "We’ve all heard about surfing the Web anony what they call anonymizers What do they do exactly, Savich?"

"They’re a sort of privacy shield between a client computer and the rest of the Web, so you can protect your personal infor your computer’s identity"

Lucy said, "I read that a lot of the child pornography on the Internet is accessed through anonymizers"

Savich said, "Like a lot of tools, anonyood or bad If you lived in Iran or China, for exa an anonymizer could save your life unless you ot to knohat you’re doing It gets even raph Then you need your own software to create a Web proxy and establish connections between chains of servers to hide your tracks We’ve got a shot, though I’ll get Spooner on it right away"

Mr Maitland said, "Spooner has liaised with the NSA for us in the past If there’s a way to find this guy, Spooner will do it Of course, there are new articles and postings about the Cronins all over the Web now--photos of the fae, as well as blogs and forums with theories about why he was h some of them are cruel There’s even talk of a family curse, ith the death of both Tommy Cronin’s parents in the last two years, and now their only son"

Ollie said, "All the Internet hype--I’ it’s what the killer wanted Savich, do we have anything else going besides Spooner tracing that upload to YouTube?"

"Not much Ben has already spoken by telephone to two men and one woman he tracked doho’d uploaded what they could see of the crime scene on social networks They told hiet close to the body because the police were keeping everyone at a distance by the time they arrived

"Needless to say, we’d know a lot ht by now if the weather hadn’t shut down the power and the roads, o today

"Sherlock and I will drive to Chevy Chase to visit Too on to see Marian Lodge, Toomery County, Maryland I’ve already spoken to the us"

Maitland said, "The snow’s supposed to stop during the night, and then it’ll warain Director Mueller called Palmer Cronin and has assured hirandson Guys, I don’t want to make a liar out of the director"
