August 01, 2004 — CSO — How Home Depot bar code technology solved a Florida murder case
Surveillance In November 2003, two men riding all-terrain vehicles in the woods around Jacksonville, Fla., discovered a woman's partially buried, dismembered torso and called the police. Officials combed the crime scene and found a small piece of a pricing label that they identified as having come from a type of shovel sold exclusively at Home Depot. Their hypothesis was that the shovel was used to bury the body.
Dreux Barra, a member of Home Depot's central investigations team, used the bar code from the shovel to determine the location and time of sale, and then viewed the corresponding surveillance video. The video produced a suspect. Under questioning, that suspect (the victim's boyfriend) confessed.
