Today’s arrest of Capitol defendant Kene Brian Lazo in Norfolk, Virginia, shows how useful open-source searching can be when combined with the FBI’s legal capabilities. They can just bust right through the walls that online sleuths run into. Let’s walk through it here. 
The FBI gets a tip about someone with the Facebook account "Fam Council,” and the FBI finds that image on the “Fam Council page themselves. Then they also find this image:
The person had "Rodbustars" on the their helmet, so the FBI special agent searches for “Rodbustars” and finds “Rodbustars LLC,” which is owned by Kene Brian Lazo and his wife.
That’s a great lead, but you’ve got to lock this down. His face is covered, after all, and you want to erase any doubt. If you’re a citizen sleuth, you might hit a wall. But if you’re the FBI, you find his number in those Capitol cell site returns and get that Facebook warrant.
Facebook warrant gives you a lot!
Finally, you compare a non-masked photo posted to “Fam Council” with a driver’s license photo of Kene Brian Lazo. And there you have it! #Walistambo
