This week we cover one of, if not the first, internet games/puzzles. In 1994 Pink Floyd released their final album, "The Division Bell".

This case was dubbed the "Social Media Trial of the Century" as it was the first major case of the "Social Media Age" . Myspace was still a big thing and Facebook was just getting off the ground which lent for the perfect breeding ground for the 6,000 pages of evidence to go viral on this case. It also helped that the suspect here was a young lady who women hated and men thought was "hot".  We're...
