I'm curious how they were able to find her based off of letters. Surely she wouldn't have been dumb enough to put her return address so assuming she didn't do that I'm wondering what it could have been.

GUESSES:

Video surveillance--she put them in a mailbox, and they tracked her with other video recordings until they could see her face, or maybe time her entry into a building with keycard access, etc.

Someone ratted her out.

She took them in a bundle to the PO counter, rather than use a mailbox.

Fingerprints on the paper.

I actually found out the answer. They got a search warrant to find the email associated with the orgs Instagram account and IP addresses. They tracked the IP addresses to her home and phone number (not sure how they did that). Then somehow they found on her phone a note that had the addresses of the board members. I'm assuming they got access to the phone in person ?
