...maybe.  This article gets many fundamental details wrong.
 For
one thing, Alexander wasn't "nabbed" - the very
article they linked
that word to simply says he was "found".  But
even ignoring that,
more recent newspaper articles leave all kinds of things
unclear.
What we have is a publicity-seeking (not just in this
instance, he
has a history of this kind of thing) private detective who
made some
unverified (as of news reports 2 days ago, anyway) claims
about having
found and seen Alexander in Sri Lanka.  If I remember the
stories
correctly, the PI said *something* about Skype, the
reporters asked
him if he'd tracked Alexander down through his use of
Skype, and
the PI never quite answered.

Whether Skype is anonymous or not, I have no clue.  But this
article
gives no useful evidence one way or another.
