On the morning of May 29th, 2012, multiple mysterious packages were delivered simultaneously to political offices and schools thousands of miles apart. When staff at these institutions opened the…

For example, the group scoured the internet to determine if the same bed cover was sold by a particular retailer, or if the unique bright yellow green wall color could be from a known apartment chain's paint scheme.
But that was a dead end.
The real breakthrough was a distinctive yellow vacuum cleaner.
It wasn't a common model one sees every day.
The group quickly suspected it might be a regional exclusive.
Deanna zeroed in on it and even found an online forum for vacuum enthusiasts, yes, those exist, to identify the exact make and model.
If they could figure out where that model was sold, might narrow down the kitten killer's geographical region.
Deanna posted the model on the forum and immediately got it identified as the Kenmore Canister Cleaner, specifically the Aspiradora model, only sold in North America.

In fact, many of them, like the Russian voice, would turn out to be misleading or just entirely irrelevant.
But together, a picture began to emerge.
Other clues hinted at a cold climate, like what looked like a winter coat hanging on a chair.
Before they could pursue the path further, a Facebook post hit the group that sent the investigation in a very different direction and an entirely separate part of the world.
A user with the name Jamsie Cramsalot in his post a video to his personal page depicting another form of torturous death inflicted on a kitten.
To the group, his profile picture looked similar to the little they had been able to see of the other guy in the vacuum video.
And the content was obviously extremely similar, leading them to believe this could very well be their guy.
