Authorities Used Snapchat to Help Identify Suspect in Blaze Bernstein Homicide, But Motive Still a Mystery

Orange County authorities said they used Blaze Bernstein’s Snapchat account to help identify the suspect arrested in connection with the slaying of the Ivy League college student, but authorities have not revealed details about a possible motive in the case.
Blaze Bernstein is seen in an undated photo shared by his family.
Authorities on Friday arrested Bernstein’s former high school classmate Samuel Lincoln Woodward.
Bernstein, 19, was reported missing Jan. 3 by his family, who became concerned after he didn’t show up for a dental appointment and they found his wallet and glasses in his room. He was on winter break from the University of Pennsylvania and visiting his parents in Lake Forest when he disappeared.
