How the Name “Mulugeta” Got into Social Media FrenzyCNN crew Juliette Kayyem, Chris Cuomo and Anderson Cooper sifting through their mobiles for updates on Boston bombing investigation.
According to The Atlantic Magazine at 2:14am Eastern on Friday, April 19th, “an official on the police scanner said, ‘Last name: Mulugeta, M-U-L-U-G-E-T-A, M as in Mike, Mulugeta.’ And thus was born the newest suspect in the case: Mike Mulugeta.
It doesn’t appear that Mulugeta, whoever he or she is, has a first name of Mike.
And yet that name, ‘Mike Mulugeta,’ was about to become notorious.”“A single tweet references Mulugeta at the time his name was said on the scanner.
A Twitter user named Carcel Mousineau simply said, ‘Just read the name Mike Mulugeta on the scanner.’ It was retweeted exactly once.
