The first case involves a dismembered victim found in Wisconsin whose identity remained a mystery until engineers used rapid prototyping to create a 3D model of her skull for facial reconstruction. This process allowed witnesses to identify her as Mwivano Kupaza, leading to the conviction of her cousin for her murder. The second segment focuses on a series of serial arsons in California that targeted new housing developments. The investigation stalled for years until a discarded videotape featuring the arsonist's own narration surfaced, enabling detectives to identify and apprehend the troubled teenager responsible for the fires. Together, these stories highlight how persistence and emerging technology can breathe new life into cold cases.
