The mystery may never be solved. 6-year-old John Benet Ramsay found dead in the basement of her parents' home. But what if it happened today? Would the story have ended differently? Would investigators have been able to find her killer if they had the tools then? They have now. Good evening. I'm Dion Lim. And good evening, I'm Courtney Robinson. We're asking that question tonight because technology has come a long way since John Benet was killed 20 years ago. This was a TV back in 1996. You can see the curved screens, huge and bulky. And this was a typical computer. The internet was just getting started. Instead of one of these, a smartphone, you probably had a pager or maybe something just like this. Like things have changed for you, they've also changed for crime scene investigators. We would have had our mobile unit out there and we would have scanned her body at the crime scene for any fingerprint evidence on her body itself. the ligature around her neck. We would DNA would have been huge back there. Collection of that. I'm not saying they didn't do it. And u but I believe we probably could have got DNA today. Tonight, 10 News reporter Jennifer Titus shows you how today's technology might have helped investigators crack that infamous case two decades ago. Inside the forensics lab at the Penllis County Sheriff's Office, new technology is leading the way to solving crimes quicker than ever before. We are getting more identifications than we got in years past. This is the full spectral imaging system. Forensic science manager Greg Mason says this machine can not only identify a fingerprint. key piece of equipment for us because if we have a case where we don't want to damage the evidence by using black powder, a cyanacrylate fume, an inhydrant spray or something of that nature, then we can do it with this. It's non-damaging to the evidence itself. It can help detectives identify a match within minutes. Several years pass it some cases would take a week. From fingerprint identification, this is the Leica 3D scanner, to a 3D image of the crime scene. One of the greatest benefits of this tech is the jury no longer has to go on a field trip to the scene. It's lasers and scans that did not exist years ago. Every dot there is a point in space, leaving some to believe that if this type of technology existed back then, some cases may have had a different outcome.
