Detective Kelsie Harlow tells Lottie, “People don’t just vanish. Not in today’s world.” What did you make of this statement? Do you agree? Why or why not? How does technology make it harder to get away with murder these days?
Criminal Science and communication technologies are so advanced now that just about everything can be tracked or traced in some manner. If you use a smart phone, or use Alexa type technology, or buy anything online, etc., your info is somewhere. It is probably possible for someone to figuratively “vanish” but it would not be easy, and may not be permanent.
I agree with the statement. A long time ago you could disappear but tech has changed that. We leave digital footprints from the Find My App, Easy Pass, traffic cameras, facial recognition software and a lot of other monitoring that we aren’t even aware of. Big Brother is watching don’t fool yourself. As far as crime solving DNA and technology to identify fibers etc gives more clues for crime solving.
I read an implied threat to Lottie from Kelsie Harlow’s comment. Given that soon after Kelsie blackmailed Lottie, I believe that was the intent of Kelsie’s comment.
