While local volunteers put out fliers asking for information on Jane’s whereabouts, and the case escalated from local to federal law enforcement, there was a strong indication she was alive. Nine days after her friends had last seen her, they noticed activity on Jane’s Nintendo Switch account. She’d watched hours of YouTube and downloaded a game, Little Nightmares. When the FBI learned about the activity, agents sent an “exigent” request to Nintendo, asking for data about Jane’s account.
Inside, they also found a 28-year-old man, Ethan Roberts, whom Jane had met on Omegle. Having spent months interacting and sending sexually explicit images to one another, Roberts traveled to Norfolk via a Greyhound bus, picked Jane up and took her back across America to his apartment. In interviews with police, his victim said that once in Arizona, he’d tried to get her to go back on Omegle, meet individuals and sell them nude images.
