Computer Forensics and your digital footprint

You've probably heard that nothing you delete from a computer or a smartphone is ever really gone. Supervisory Special Agent Cheney Eng-Tow explains how that helps him catch criminals. As part of the Intermountain West's Regional Computer Forensics Lab , or RCFL, his team knows how to find digital evidence. It's one of more than a dozen similar labs across the country tasked with helping catch criminals with evidence on computers, smartphones and other devices. For example, Eng-Tow's team helped catch a serial rapist from Montana after retrieving videos the subject had recorded of his victims because his own image was reflected in a mirror, and by looking at a hidden app on his phone. Whether it's photo enhancement or following the money in a fraud case, the team works closely with local law enforcement to stop crime.
