Technology is all around us. Every day new technologies are being invented for so many purposes. Over the years, these new technological advancements have allowed us to solve crimes faster than ever before. In recent years, investigators have been able to take a look at cold cases from decades ago and have used new resources like genetic genealogy, closed-circuit television (CCTV), and modern tracking capabilities. In Decoded Crimes, we will talk about the various ways in which these cases have used these resources to go back to cases from years and years ago and solve cases people once thought ”unsolvable”. By looking at the cases of the Golden State Killer, the Long Island Serial Killer, and the University of Idaho Murders, we can see how technology is evolving and predict where we think it will head in the future!

Join us as we look into the technology that helped find the suspected killer. Let's get to decoding!
