How Did a Crime Junkie Crack The Case? #truecrime #crimejunkie | Forensic Files

And when she types out, Utah license plate 129 UMP, her screen floods with headlines. Nationwide manhunt underway.
Triple murder victims identified. Suspect in Idaho, triple homicide last seen in Ogden might be driving a White
Ford focus. Trust your gut, folks. Sometimes it's nothing, but sometimes you break a case
cuz who knows if anyone would have connected the dots otherwise. So she flags this for her dad who in turn calls
the police. And we don't see this every day, but here all law enforcement agencies are picking up the phone and
talking to one another, sharing information. So by that same night, police investigating a triple murder in
Canyon County, Idaho, 7 hours west, know that one of the cars they put into NCIC
a few weeks ago in connection to their suspect now has been found. Idaho authorities asked them to secure the car
ASAP while they get on the road and start writing a search warrant. And in the meantime, an Idaho detective sends a
bulletpoint memo to the Wyoming authorities to get them up to speed on the crime that they're investigating and
the fugitive that they're looking for, Michael Bullinger.
