The internet is scary/weird how much information it has.

I'm originally from a really small town out West and out of boredom today, did a quick Google image search on it, found an old photo from God knows who, circa 1930 of the town baseball team, and wouldn't you know, there were two familiar names (I'd gone to school, grew up with their descendants), and upon inspection, the resemblance of these two characters to the two guys I knew in the 70's and 80's was shocking! Proof that you can run but you can't hide from the interwebz! :rofl:

1. even back when the internet was in its early days

I was shocked at how much information it had. I was on an armchair detective's forum in 1989-90. One of our group members was able to get floor plans of the crime scene online! Even back then!!

FWIW, the crime scene was a residence. I think the person got it from tax records.
