Friend In Need Episode of Bones
The 2/18/13 Bones episode "The Friend in Need" brought to the forefront the age of technology. Digital Forensics or Multi-media evidence is fast becoming a powerful tool in crime fighting and investigation.
Even though someone deletes information, it may not be gone.
Or the idea that it is not deleted but shared on the Internet is a daily occurrence. Take for instance the many images displayed from the party. As many as 50 attendees with cell phones shared their images. And these images, good or bad, could be available for a long, long time.
Just watch the news and you will see the results of cell phones and surveillance cameras which document everywhere and all the time.
If you have just recently gotten a driver's license photograph, they ask you not to smile. This is to help them with facial recognition.
In the episode, they kept returning to the on-line images to follow the participants in the story line. Not only did this digital documented information help them determine a time line of events but it also helped to establish identities which led them to a rapist and a killer.
As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
