[cctalk] Re: Netflix Series: American Conspiracy/Octopus Murders

It dates back to the early 1980s and seems to run on VMS. It was specialised software for law enforcement used to manage casework, but could also do some pattern matching. Almost like a "prehistoric Palantir" based upon what the documentary said. There was a large scandal involving the software, involving stolen source code and the government trying to bankrupt the software company (which is still in business.)
