Fact Finding Investigations - Analyze
This month’s new commentary has been posted on our agency website - Fact Finding Investigations - Analyze
The Analyze stage of this Investigative protocol follows a series of important organizational planning steps. It is where the rubber meets the road - the investigation and case gain traction. The legal investigator has gathered information and determined the factual evidence versus the information provided only in the disclosure and discovery; and processes of law enforcement, government, and business or insurance investigators. This Analyze stage is both a subjective and objective reasoning exercise completed within each assignment, then assignment to assignment or task to task – scene to scene and witness to witness, and so forth until the case is completed. For this reason, it is important to organize the investigation into these individual assignments and stages.

In Dean’s book, ‘Practical Methods for Legal Investigations: Concepts and Protocols in Civil and Criminal Cases’ – (www.PracticalMethodsForLegalInvestigations.com) the process of legal investigation, including conducting these types of investigations, is Prepare, Inquire, Analyze, Document, and Report.

Data Protection – Lessons Learned and Shared (05/01/2017)
Before 2012 we had one physical backup setup through our network server. Had we still had that in place this year, we would have lost almost 25,000 files of almost 300,000 (almost 10% of our files); about 45GB of data from our 551GB. This happened in Dean’s trip to Washington DC, the end of March this year (2017), for the National Council of Investigation and Security Services. After his return from that trip, we left for the World Association of Detectives meeting in Florida. There was no time to manually recover these.

Is it Homicide or Suicide - Test Your Observation Skills (06/04/2017)
Recently a friend and colleague of ours shared a cartoon picture of a death scene on social networking. Our thanks to Tom Slovenski for sharing this thought provoking cartoon (continue to blog for image).
This depicted a gunshot wound and asking if this was murder or suicide, based on the picture. Dean's response was 'murder'; but, not because it was obviously - or likely - murder. The answer is because it should be investigated as a murder. Suicide is, in part, the exclusion of Homicide, Accident, Natural and Undetermined.

Case Studies from AFI-LLC
www.DeathCaseReview.com/sample-cases.html
We are often asked about the types of traumatic injury and death cases we review - from family equivocal deaths to civil and criminal cases for attorneys and investigators. Each month we will present two previous cases - of hundreds - with a variety of circumstances, evidence, and conclusions.
Domestic Relation - Private Investigator Ethics (Expert Witness)
Our agency was retained by private counsel on behalf of the petitioner in a dissolution of marriage action. At question were the methodologies used by the private investigators retained by the respondent. Multiple private investigators were retained to contact the petitioner under pretext to obtain incriminating information to be used in a child custody hearing.
Received and reviewed were records, statements and audio recordings provided to counsel during the course of the disclosure stage of the proceedings. Multiple private investigators had contacted the petitioner under pretext and had extended conversations. During the conversations leading questions were asked and responses provided that were offered as incriminating. At question were deceit, entrapment and invasion of privacy.
Independent review determined that these statements, taken as a whole and in context with the full conversations, were innocuous and simple banter. It was determined that there were no violations of state law, particularly involving the recording of a private conversation between two or more people. The state law permitted such recordings if at least one party had knowledge (a one-party state). The state does not license or regulate private investigators; however, the municipality did require registration. Therefore, there could be no violation of licensing regulations. However, when the private investigator is retained by counsel, they are bound by the same ethical standards. Both state and American Bar Association ethics rules specifically barred such actions as perpetrated by the private investigators. It should be noted that these private investigators were retained directly by the respondent, and not by his counsel. Therefore, there was no actual violation. In the same ethical rules it is advised that counsel not use evidence obtained in this manner, but it is permitted. Finally, professional investigators are advised to follow a code of ethics widely distributed, recognized and adapted by various professional associations. One flaw of pretexting is the use of leading questions, or entrapment. Entrapment is an action only of law enforcement. However, it is generally unethical to give a leading or misleading statement as it may produce a response that would not otherwise be the normal words of the subject. Invasion of privacy occurred when the private investigators encroached upon private property using deceit and trickery to gain access.
All applicable ethical codes forbid a private investigator from contacting a represented party without permission of the party’s counsel and must also provide full disclosure. It was determined that these private investigators did violate these ethical standards,but did not belong to any professional associations.
The ideal, and ethically acceptable, environment and methodology would have been to engage or overhear the petitioner in a natural conversation in a public place. In doing so, there would have been no expectation of privacy and any utterances may have been considered spoken freely.
The presiding judge did rule that the private investigators violated accepted practices in obtaining information by using false identities and information – pretext. The information from the recordings was not permitted at future hearings.
The outcome of this case was favorable to the plaintiff.
Suspicious Death - Independent Investigation (Expert Consultation)
Our agency was retained by private counsel on behalf of the decedent’s family. The decedent was found by construction workers, approximately 20 feet from the base of a six-story parking garage. The official ruling was Suicide due to blunt force injuries consequential to a fall from height.
The family provided information questioning the official investigation and suspected homicide. What the family did not disclose, but a witness contacted by this agency revealed, was that the family had accepted a multi-million-dollar settlement related to the decedent committing suicide as a result of neglect and treatment of the decedent that they alleged resulted in his suicide. To this agency they presented that the decedent’s treatment was a result of revealing historical molestation of children by other persons, who then conspired to have his death appear as a suicide. Investigation revealed that the investigation of the medical examiner’s office was sufficient and without any notable errors or deficiencies. However, the official law enforcement investigation was deficient in several areas of investigative protocol, including manner of reporting, photography and scene investigation. The investigation was primarily handled by responding patrol deputies, with post-scene investigation follow-up by multiple assigned detectives, most notably after concerns of the family presented. There were several major deficiencies in the scene photography – which can be imperative to the investigation, as well as civil and criminal judicial processes. Reporting by several documented responding personnel were never completed. Any personnel responding to or involved in an incident should be making a report that is supplemental to the initial responders report. All witnesses should be contacted, and a detailed report to supplement any written statements, made included.
Independent investigation found that the area was easily accessible by the Decedent, any minor physical impairments (slight limp) would not have impeded the short distance walk. All levels of the parking garage had an approximate four-foot retaining wall along the perimeter. A notepad, with the decedent’s handwriting, was found on the hood of a vehicle and both handprints and footprints were reported – but not photographed – found on the same vehicle.
Independent investigation also found that the decedent had a previous incident of a confirmed attempted suicide (multiple witnesses), also from a height. This resulted in hospitalization, including mental health confinement, brief confinement to a wheelchair and physical therapy. This was not reported by the family to this agency.
An analysis of the height and distance from the base, decedent trajectory, found that it was consistent with known and researched similar incidents. It was also determined that the decedent was not unconscious and dropped from the height. Research found that the final place of rest would have been closer to the base of the parking garage. Moreover, a witness saw the body falling at approximately the fifth floor, and did not report any other persons in proximity. However, not knowing the exact position of the witness and the upward angle of her vision (at 100-150 yards and requiring bifocals), it is possible that any person(s) could have been blocked from their field of view by the retaining barrier or hidden by their lack of vision acuity.
Other considerations were that this death was on the Decedent’s birthday and that he had contacted his psychiatrist earlier that day (also not a detail provided by the family). There was a history of extended mental health disorder with diagnosis of schizophrenia and bipolar, treated with prescribed medications (again, details not provided by the family).
Independent investigation concurred with the official ruling of Suicide due to a fall from height.

News From Our Profession
Criminal Defense Resources
(Ellis Armistead, CLI – Armistead Investigators, CO)
“A link that may be of use to those defending or otherwise involved in cases that include the above technology by law enforcement. There are tips to help defend those cases.”
As law enforcement acquires new technologies for surveillance in criminal investigations, the threat of unprecedented governmental access and intrusion into clients’ digital lives grows exponentially. EFF aims to arm criminal defense attorneys with the information and tools they need to rein in state invasion into their clients’ digital privacy.

U.S. Post Office - Informed Delivery – Scammers Watching Your Mail
(Kelly Riddle, TCI – Kelmar Global, TX
If you sign up for the Informed Delivery program with the U.S. Postal Office, you get an email each day with an actual photo of the front of each item they intend to delivery that same day. A couple of nights ago a local news program gave a good warning regarding a scam. Seems that some people are signing up on other people's account and are watching their mail for items they want to steal (including packages). Kelly has advised, even if you don't want the service, you should go to their site and OPT OUT so that no one else can sign up and get your email notifications. Also as investigators, we need to know this is happening to help solve identity and financial crimes. Long link but here it is:
https://informeddelivery.usps.com/box/pages/intro/start.action?iom=B490-81IN-USRS-PS-USP-BI-XXX-AW-XX-X-INF&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=search&utm_content=b490-81in&utm_campaign=informeddelivery2018&gclid=CPC6nKHY5d4CFROUxQIdoAIP8g&gclsrc=ds
Our agency was looking into just the day before and decided not to sign up, but didn't see the opt out. It is supposed to be secure, requiring proof of ID - I don't know their process, but you might. We all know it doesn't take much for nefarious folks to grab the info needed to do these scams. I will add two things related to this:
1. USPS has been scanning every piece of mail since after 9/11 (started as First Class only) and a few years ago began testing this service - might as well make use of what they are already doing; and
2. We should all be getting alerts for things others would scam - credit alerts come to mind; and Kelly also mentioned, as investigators, we need to be aware this type of service is used in financial crimes (much as it was first set up by the US Postal Inspectors for crimes involving US mail).
