Someone torched an SUV parked outside the home of a government witness in the federal racketeering case against singer R. Kelly in June. Here& #39;s how the feds responded...
The fire happened outside a home in Kissimmee, Florida. So federal agents got a search warrant requiring Google to identify "users who had searched the address of the Residence close in time to the arson," according to a newly unsealed search warrant affidavit
The warrant revealed a search from one IP address in Georgia in the days and hours before the arson fire.

The IP address belonged to a phone number linked to a Georgia man.

That Georgia man is a relative of singer R. Kelly& #39;s publicist, according to the search warrant...
Next, agents analyzed phone numbers that used cell towers near the home where the SUV was set on fire last summer.

The phone linked to a relative of R. Kelly& #39;s publicist used one of those towers at the time of the arson fire, according to the search warrant.
Agents then got a search warrant for the phone.

The warrant showed that the phone took quite a road trip, with one stop being near site of the arson fire
