We chronicled the story of Meghan Lanker-Simons, the University of Wyoming student charged with interference with a police investigation after she allegedly posted on an anonymous social media page that she would like to engage in angry sexual intercourse with someone named….. “Meg Lanker Simons.”

The Daily Caller’s Eric Owns share a local publication’s details about the investigation:

The Laramie Boomerang has now published details from a court-filed affidavit describing how police believe the strident leftist perpetrated her failed hoax.

The kerfuffle began in April when an unsigned posting was made to a Facebook page called UW Crushes. “I want to hatefuck Meg Lanker-Simons so hard,” the post read. “That chick runs her liberal mouth all the time.”

The posting brought national attention to the Cowboy State’s flagship college. There was a feminist rally. Initially, the administration stood firmly behind Lanker-Simons. A school official denounced “rape culture.”

Police investigated the incident, quickly determining that Lanker-Simons posted the message on her computer while it was in her possession. It was her alleged obstruction of the investigation that led to a misdemeanor change or interfering with a peace officer.

According to the affidavit, a search warrant served on a company called SurveyMonkey.com was essential.

The post went through SurveyMonkey’s website, so the online questionnaire outfit was able to provide a slew of useful information including IP addresses and login information for the administrators of UW Crushes. The website also provided the IP address of the computer which generated the post.

University police then asked an information technology staffer at the school to “research the IP address of the original sender of the message” and “see if he could track that to one specific computer or individual,” explains the Boomerang.

The employee soon struck gold. He told police the IP address belonged to a computer called “ElComputerdeMeg.”

“The user logged into the computer at the time was meghanm, or Meghan Michelena, also known as Meghan Lanker-Simons,” the affidavit testifies.
