According to the *FBI’s Crime in the Nation statistics report, released in October 2022, violent crime remained consistent between 2020 and 2021, with a 4.3% uptick in the murder rate. That’s an improvement over 2020 when the murder rate in the U.S. jumped 29%. Technology is constantly evolving, and mobile devices are increasingly becoming the primary source of evidence in homicide cases. However, when it comes to homicides, law enforcement agencies often struggle to investigate this crime type when digital evidence is involved.
Traditional extraction and analysis methods often fall short, so Grayshift designed GrayKey and ArtifactIQ by Grayshift to help law enforcement examiners, detectives, and investigators extract and analyze mobile device forensics evidence to solve homicide cases (and other crimes). From The News Desk is a compilation of stories from users on how Grayshift technology has helped them solve crimes in their jurisdictions.
The five stories you will find in this edition include:
