But he didn't count on the modern surveillance web. In this video, we explore how he wasn't caught by a witness or a confession, but by an automated license plate reader on a highway.

We look at the intersection of old-school evil and new-school technology. If you enjoy stories about how modern tech is changing the game for investigators, this one is for you.
