How high technology is helping authorities solve some of this country's most heinous crimes.

Once again, a person accused of a crime against people is being investigated for Internet ramblings that hinted at the madness that was to come.

Law enforcement officials say the Army psychiatrist suspected of carrying a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, had come to the attention of authorities six months ago because of Internet postings.

Authorities say the postings discussed suicide bombings and other threats. It's believed those postings were made by Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan. He ended up being injured in the shootings at the Army post. In all, 12 soldiers were killed and at least 30 others were wounded.
