Age Progression Software Helps Nab Murder Suspect After 24 Years
Imagine a crime from a long time ago that the police couldn't solve.
They had a picture of the person who did it when they were young, but years went by.
To find them, the police used special computer software that showed what the person might look like now.
They found the person, who admitted to the crime.
The police then arrested the person and they will go to court.
