Summary

Aubrey Vanlandingham, a 17-year-old Texas student, was charged with animal cruelty after poisoning a classmate’s show goat, Willie, with pesticide, allegedly because she “does not like cheaters.”

    I gotta imagine that level of search would likely only yield results that will dupe family or technologically illiterate police. Any investigator with half a brain would be able to figure out the searches.

      Searches are held at both ends.

      You can clear your search history, you can’t clear Google’s.

      That’s fair. I know there are cases where cops will say they didn’t find anything but only because they only looked at Internet Explorer.
