Can you find federal criminal cases online?

I know in Arizona everything is online. I am trying to find out if someone was arrested for tax fraud, but I keep searching online and cannot find public records. Maybe they don't exist?

Have you tried the FBI site in the city or state where the person would have been investigated? They typically have all of the press releases online.

PACER is the federal reporting system. You have to sign up with a credit card and it can be a little tricky to use. You can check names by court district or country wide. It costs 8 cents a page, and would probably be under a dollar to look at the entire docket in an individual case. http://pacer.psc.uscourts.gov/

Have you tried the IRS website. I've seen several on that site.
