Paul Douglas Peters, the 50-year-old man charged with affixing a collar bomb to the throat of 18-year-old Australian teenager Madeleine Pulver in a suburb of Sydney, has been apprehended by the FBI outside Louisville, Ky., states the Guardian. Peters was taken into custody while hiding at the home of his ex-wife in suburban Louisville, Ky. Authorities were able to trace him due to an email address he'd left on the ransom note on the collar bomb - a bomb that turned out to be fake.

The victim's father and Paul Peters were connected
An Oct. 14 hearing in Australia for a father of three, Paul Peters, brought on a United States judge on Tues, August 16th, to order Peters held, until he can be extradited to Australia. Peters is an attorney and investment banker who once worked for a company with ties to the business of Madeleine Pulver's father William Pulver, an Australian Internet executive.
Paul Peters is said to have broke to the home of the Pulvers at 2:15 in the afternoon of August 3rd with a ski style mask on his face, based on the documents in the court records. Peters is alleged to have threatened Ms. Pulver with a baseball bat after going into her bedroom. Peters attached a collar to Madeleine's throat and told her it was a bomb. He told her to count to 200. It turned out that there actually were no explosives in the collar. He had attached a ransom note that he had hand-written and a flash drive to the collar. An email address lead to Paul Peter's arrest as well as part of this note:
“Powerful new technology plastic explosives are located inside the small black combination case delivered to you. The case is booby trapped. It can ONLY be opened safely, if you follow the instructions and comply with its terms and conditions. ... You will be provided with detailed Remittance Instructions to transfer a Defined Sum once you acknowledge and confirm receipt of this message.”
In total, the collar bomb scare was in impact for over ten hours. The well-off neighborhood in Sydney where the Pulver's lived had to be evacuated, just to be cautious. After the Australian bomb squad performed an exhaustive examination of the machine, it was determined to be safe and was removed from Madeleine Pulver's throat.
Tai-Pan's Dirk Struan
James Clavell wrote a novel in 1966 called "Tai-Pan." The main character in this novel was Dirk Struan. The ransom note found on Madeleine's throat was signed by Dick Struan. The email address that was given to the Pulver's to use to correspond with the perpetrator was a Gmail address that authorities were able to track.
The account was created on May 30 from an IP address traced to a Chicago airport. Further IP investigation traced access to a computer at the Kincumber Library in Gosford, New South Wales, as well as an Avoca video store nearby.
Federal Bureau of Investigation stormed in 'heavy and hard'
Reports from neighbors near Peters' ex-wife's home in the Louisville suburb of La Grange indicate the FBI swooped in without warning “heavy and hard” to the house next door. No shots were needed.
"We had guys with machine guns in our back yard," said the neighbor.
