Does someone know HOW they did that? Did they just use the switch gaming account to ask her the location she was at?
I don't have a switch so i don't know what you can do by knowing the account name of someone (like sending DMs etc...)
According to the article, her friend saw her online and tipped the FBI off, and Nintendo provided them the IP address that last connected to the account.
Thanks!
