Justin Ogden is using cell phone forensics to help the country locate missing people and aircraft.
He's only 28 years old and a Captain with the Air Force's auxiliary Civil Air Patrol or CAP.
"Try and take the technical information provided by the cellular providers and define search areas based on that information," Ogden said.
Pretty much everyone these days has a cell phone. If it's on and you find yourself lost in the middle of no where, Ogden says he should be able to find you.
He uses cell phone towers, text messages, and maps to help locate people. That information helps Ogden, who is the only person in America using this type of technology to pinpoint locations within one square mile to a few hundred miles.
Ogden was tapped by the Air Force's Rescue Coordination Center which is based at Tyndall Air Force Base, to help assist them with their search efforts.
