A federal grand jury in Los Angeles has begun issuing subpoenas in the case of a Missouri teenager who hanged herself after being rejected by the person she thought was a 16-year-old boy she met on the social networking site MySpace, sources told The Times.
The case created a national furor when authorities revealed that the "friend" was really the mother of one of the girl's former friends.
