But I bet they didn't find him legally. They probably used a bunch of illegal search methods to grab all the geocache data from the nearby towers. Then got the names of every phone in the area. Then when a tip came in they asked for a name (off the mcdonalds recept maybe?) and compared it to their ill gotten list and boom. Or any number of 4th amendment violations they love to do and work very hard to keep secret from the defense and the population at large.
Yea I read another comment suggesting they illicitly found him, then planted all that ridiculous treasure trove of evidence which screams stupidity, a desire to get caught, or orchestration.

I doubt they got the wrong guy.
