Facebook Paved Way for the Arrest of Serial Killer
When criminals thought that they could simply run away from the long arms of justice, well its arms had extender longer even on cyberspace.
Police authorities on Tuesday arrested Mark Dizon, 28, linked to a series of murder and robbery incidents in Angeles City, Pampanga with the help of social networking giant, Facebook.
Dizon who is a computer technician is accused of killing and robbing a least nine people, six of which are Filipinos and three are foreign nationals (American, Canadian and Briton) all happening in just a span of a few months.
Police authorities tracked the suspect due to his fondness of computers and as investigators try to collect evidence and clue to the arrest of the suspect, they were led to check on Facebook. A family member of one of the victim approached investigators after finding out that one of his Facebook friends (Dizon) has the same description of the purported suspect. Investigators then checked the profile of Dizon and of the witnesses confirmed that the person on the photo is the suspect to the series of murders.
Photos of Dizon also revealed his fascination with guns making police authorities speculate that one of the guns he hold on a photo was the same gun he used to kill his victms.
Dizon though denied any involvement on the charges being readied against him.

Perhaps he used Facebook to know more about his victims? Or perhaps FB is just his fave place to hang out after a hard day’s work. Fascinating how little we know who we surround ourselves with in FB. Time to tighten up privacy settings.
Remember the time you lost your fave shoes? By process of elimination kung malapit lang salarin you might be able to track who did it. Baka naka feature pa nga iyon sa photo album nila.
Haahhaay, gracious goodness, my favorite shoes!!! You reminded me, thought I had already moved on, LOL!
But I doubt if that person uses FB, maybe he plays more Dota and would not even bother to post a photo of himself wearing a stolen Italian pair of shoes.
