WEBVTT - Teaser: Algorithm

0:00:01.160 --> 0:00:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Whether we want to or not, we create records of

0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:09.640
<v Speaker 1>our lives everywhere we go. Phone calls, emails, even credit

0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:12.640
<v Speaker 1>card purchases can be used to pinpoint where we were

0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:16.640
<v Speaker 1>at a certain time. When we touch a door knob,

0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:20.200
<v Speaker 1>the oil from our hands leaves fingerprints, and our skin

0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:24.800
<v Speaker 1>sheds tell tale DNA. If we drive by a security camera,

0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:28.920
<v Speaker 1>our license plate can be scanned and entered into a database.

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:35.800
<v Speaker 1>But despite all this information we're creating, storing, sorting all

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:38.680
<v Speaker 1>of this power that we're giving the government and police,

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:43.200
<v Speaker 1>the United States isn't getting better at solving serious crimes

0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 1>like homicide. In fact, we're getting worse. Murders were solved

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>in today. That number has dropped dramatically. One of every

0:00:55.120 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>three murders goes unsolved. One reporter found those stats on acceptable,

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>so he built an algorithm. Algorithm Algorithm. This software analysis

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:09.400
<v Speaker 1>could accurately find serial killings, but can it help police?

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Here from My Heart Radio and Tenderfoot TV, this is Algorithm,

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 1>a podcast investigating a modern serial killer and how he

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 1>could have been stopped. Algorithm launches June fift Subscribe today
