In Spokme, Washington Brad Jackson reported his daughter, Valiree missing. Jackson told the police she simply disappeared one morning. The police immediately became suspicious, since he had bloodstains on his pants. But without the body of Valiree, they could not arrest Jackson. The police decided to track the movement of Jackson through the GPS satellite. The Global Positioning System is 24 satellites in six different orbits, 11,000 miles above the earth. After 18 months, they tracked Jackson to a secluded grave of a girl. The girl was later found to be Valiree. Jackson is now facing murder charges.
