Aussie bomb hoax suspect tracked across internet and arrested in US
For the last two weeks, the media in Sydney, Australia, have been fascinated with a police investigation into a most peculiar crime committed in one of Sydney's most prestigious suburbs.
If you've heard the name of the victim, Madeleine Pulver, you've probably heard the story behind the crime. Imagine the scene.
Pulver is a final-year school student who will sit her school-leaving exams at the end of the year. She's studying at her parents' home in top-of-the-market Mosman in Sydney's Lower North Shore on the afternoon of 03 August. A man clad in a balaclava and carrying a baseball bat bursts into her room and chains a plastic box to her neck. He then puts a lanyard round her neck with some printed documentation and a USB key attached to it. Then he vanishes.
