A Florida couple got into an altercation which resulted in a man allegedly murdering his girlfriend. The man states the woman’s death was an accident. However, detectives believe that an Alexa-enabled device known as the Amazon Echo Dot may provide clues into what transpired by examining the voice recordings it may have captured.
This is not the first time voice assistant devices have been used in criminal investigations. A pair of cases in two different states also involved Amazon Echo devices.
