Comment on Whenever there is a shooting/terrorism/assassination/killing, how did they know about the (alleged) perpetrator's online accounts? Would they have found them if the perp posted them over Tor?

Seize all electronic devices and scan for logged-in accounts, cookies, browsing history, etc.

Depending on the severity of the crime (if NSA gets involved, for instance) there are ways to defeat Tor, anyway. They have historically maintained backdoors (technical and human) into most telecom networks, and can always “ask” ISPs for a ton of information on a suspect.
