Detective Brian Lewis returns to his desk after lunch, scanning e-mails he
missed.

One catches his eye: It says a suspected member of a methamphetamine ring
bought a box of Sudafed at 1:34 p.m. at a CVS pharmacy.

Minutes later, Lewis is in his truck, circling the parking lot, searching
for the woman.

Lewis did not find her that day, but the scenario illustrates the way law
enforcement is increasingly relying on computerized tracking systems in
their fight against meth, an illegal drug that is often brewed in makeshift
labs and has become a particular scourge in Appalachia and the Midwest.
