Detectives use digital technology to solve murders
About Caught in the Net
Most of us aren’t aware of just how big our digital footprint is, and killers are no different. Caught in the Net focuses on cases where specific types of technology helped detectives solve murders.
Video cameras help track suspects, text messages can reveal a murder plot, social media might offer clues, and GPS can be used to track a suspect. Even technology like Fitbits and heart monitors can play a role in an investigation.
Each episode details one or more technologies used to solve a homicide case, and they also include police interviews, the stories of victims’ loved ones, and re-creations of the case. The series is similar to Witness to Murder: Digital Evidence, so if you like that show, give this one a look.
