According to reports by the news site technology The Information, the case of the murder of Victor Collins, a man who was found dead in the bathtub of James Andrew Bates —who is now accused of the murder of Collins— could be resolved with the evidence provided by a speaker Amazon Echo, which has seven microphones, which might have recorded crucial information to determine the likely involvement of Bats in the murder.

according To the police authorities of Bentonville, Arkansas, the horn made by Amazon possesses information vital to the investigation, because the system sends the audio from the activation order —and a few moments previous to this— to the servers of Amazon, so that excerpt of the audio from that night could be found in the register of the company. For its part, Amazon believes that the request of the researchers is inappropriate and that you will only provide the information through a court order.

speaker Amazon Echo is equipped with seven microphones, it is much more than a music playback device and other contents, since it has the ability to recognize voice commands that are interpreted by the virtual assistant Alexa. The microphone system of the device is always active, waiting for an order, but only begins to operate with the wizard for the voice when it recognizes the key word “Alexa”. Due to this particular feature, the police investigators considered that the device could provide key evidence to determine the guilt or innocence of the defendant.
