The Future of Cracking Cold Cases: Challenges Ahead as Google Pulls Support for Geofence Warrants

The mystery surrounding Egypt Covington’s murder in 2017 has left investigators scratching their heads for years. Michigan State Police managed to solve the case using a special tool called a geofence warrant, according to NBC News. This tool helps track where people were at a certain time and it led to the arrest and conviction of three men for Covington’s murder. It’s a big win for cracking cold cases. With Google stopping its support for this tool investigators are left wondering how they’ll solve cases in the future.

Geofence warrants are like digital maps that show where people are using their phones. They helped police connect the dots in Covington’s case but Google’s decision to stop providing this information has created a big problem. Without this tool it’ll be much harder for police to track down suspects and solve crimes. It’s like losing a key piece of a puzzle when you’re trying to put it all together.
