Technology is galloping at an incredible rate and the daily life of citizens is based on "smart" mobile phones (smartphones). It was these little devices, the extension of ourselves, that revealed Caroline's killer, who is none other than her husband Babi Anagnostopoulos.

From the first moment, the police officers who handled the case, since they did not find visual material from cameras, searched the couple's electronic devices, specifically the mobile phones and the smartwatch. All the applications that had the victim and perpetrator downloaded, as well as data, were transferred to the computers of the forensic laboratories and were examined piece by piece. The data that emerged from Babis Anagnostopoulos' mobile phone showed that he had not testified the truth, since the application on his mobile phone that records the steps, showed that at the time he had claimed that he was tied up, he was walking.

While Caroline's biometric clock recorded increased pulses and then no vital signs much earlier than the time the pilot had placed her murder. But how did the above two electronic devices reveal the heinous crime that has frozen even more, due to the involvement of the husband, the pan-Hellenic?

According to expert researcher George Tsoukalis, all those who use advanced devices leave electronic fingerprints. "The forensic laboratories of the Greek police are among the best in Europe. There they downloaded all the electronic data from the mobile phones and devices that the couple used. The electronic fingerprints were taken even if the perpetrator had deleted them. It was revealed that when he testified that he was tied up, the application he had downloaded to his mobile phone showed that he was on the move. And of course from Caroline's smartwatch they found the exact time of death which was not the same as the one originally submitted by her husband. We should be aware that even in icloud the data and data are stored and with the mechanisms available in forensic laboratories can be retrieved even if the user has deleted them. "Imagine that even from a computer hard drive that was broken by criminals, the police managed to recover valuable data in the past."

According to experts, in every smartphone there are informant applications, which constantly report on the position of the device and its user. So someone who knows is able to know, with precision of seconds and centimeters the paths followed by each user as an individual. So even if a user lies about what time it was his smartphone will testify to the truth.
