Hunting the Pentagon leaker
How the New York Times found the suspect behind the US classified documents dump.
Jack Teixeira is the 21 year old US airman charged with leaking confidential intelligence and defence documents.

The New York Times managed to identify Teixeira as the suspect before the FBI arrested him. Also in the programme, a new Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ podcast that investigates the cold case of a boy from London who went missing over 40 years ago, and what next for Murdoch after the Fox News defamation lawsuit pay-out.
