In fact, we're getting worse. Murders were solved in today. That number has dropped dramatically. One of every three murders goes unsolved. One reporter found those stats on acceptable, so he built an algorithm. Algorithm Algorithm. This software analysis could accurately find serial killings, but can it help police? Here from My Heart Radio and Tenderfoot TV, this is Algorithm, a podcast investigating a modern serial killer and how he could have been stopped.
