NORFOLK: Detectives tracked down a 14-year-old boy accused of threatening to shoot his classmates this week – not by searching his backpack, room, or even his phone, but by following his digital scent through a crime scene in cyberspace. 

It happened fast, even though they were getting evidence from thousands of miles away.
