    But how did the police get his name in the first place?

    I believe I recall reading that they got him via surveillance footage at the FedEx store. From the date/time stamp, they could then get the credit card information for that transaction.

    I believe the FedEx video yielded quite a lot of information for LE. There were multiple cameras and gave a timestamp while he was there. It's possible there was even a camera pointed towards the parking lot. In any event, LE was able to get the vehicle's registration, which gave them a name, which gave them a possible address, and then searches can give them a cell phone number associated with that person.

    Continued legwork gave them the fact that the subject was at a hotel and where--partly because the phone got turned on and was located in that manner. There's a lot that's not explained out loud in these cases and for good reason. Why give folks the "play book", namean?
