It's true.I'm pretty sure that's not true. Technology is definitely advanced enough today for LE to find out where someone is posting from. Maybe the LE in your son's college town were not that interested in putting in the resources/money to find the perps? But it's possible for LE to track down anyone who posts online. Also, what tip could someone have where LE cannot know their identity but would solve the case? Is the kidnapper going to post where Isabel is on FB?

The bomb threats shut down sizable portions of the large university for many weeks. The university employees a sizable percentage of the city (money rules). If the police could have busted the creeps, they would have. LE, including the FBI, admitted that they were helpless to find creeps using multiple international proxies. LE finally cut the creeps a "deal" to get them to stop.
