"What we've got now is a whole new issue of law," Dash said. "Maybe we'll keep files of voiceprints and just think of their value in kidnaping or extortion cases." Kersta believes the voiceprint represents a milestone in criminology that could easily help police track down suspects in cases involving the use of telephones.
