Olive Branch kidnapping case reenacted for TV
Bill Cox, one of the officers who investigated the 2018 kidnapping, said computer forensics was an essential tool to solve the case. Cox, a parent who grew up with Atari games, said today’s youth are savvy about technology and, unfortunately, so are the world’s potential predators. “This generation has grown up their whole life with this,” said Cox, now a deputy chief with the Olive Branch Police Department.
