Three Reasons You Need a Social Media Investigator

Why You Need a Social Media Investigator

Social media investigation can be a very powerful tool for any investigation. A person’s online presence can show what they do for work, where they live, their activities, or even their relationships. With our experience and expertise, we can see past the pictures and uncover critical evidence. Whether you're dealing with an insurance fraud case or a child custody case, a social media deep dive can be an integral part of any investigation. Here are three reasons you should hire a private investigator to conduct your social media investigations:

1. We are the experts at finding things you may not.
   • Crawling google and ai platforms along with searching the basic Social media platforms are the way investigators spot and collect invaluable data. People can tag where they are, where they hang out, or post pictures revealing their wild activities to their living situation. We can learn so much from someone’s social media, especially if they’re actively posting online. However, we look past Instagram and Facebook.
     
2. We gather information and provide robust reports that stand up in court.
   • After we conduct our social media investigations, we compile all the notes, details, and information found. We then put together a concise investigation report. Photos, timestamps, links, and anything that is relevant and can be located is included. Everything we find is documented into a court ready report that is easy to digest and use as evidence.
     
3. We can testify in court.
   • We don't just gather the evidence, turn it over, and move on. With over 25 years of experience, we are licensed and experts at testifying. We have testified, under oath, countless times. We can and will testify if needed to aid in your case. Having a licensed private investigator testify for your case can make it that much stronger.

True Story From the Field

A new insurance defense law firm called us and stated two other private investigators in Los Angeles were unable to locate a subject for surveillance. Our databases give us lots of vital information, but they aren’t always accurate. What if our subject lives at a boyfriend’s house but it isn’t on record?  Thankfully with the popularity of social media, we can often times get accurate information in other ways. Our social media investigators are trained to search through online profiles and look past the pictures. Our databases showed our subject lived at an address in Woodland Hills, but we knew two other private investigators couldn’t locate her. After a social media investigation, we noticed the background of the subject’s photos didn’t match the background of the address from the database. With that in mind, we ran the subject’s boyfriend and got an address. Using online resources, we were able to link the subject’s background in the photos to her boyfriend’s residence. Within a day, we located her and her vehicle and conducted a successful surveillance. Our social media investigator testified in court with the evidence we obtained and were able to save our client close to $2 million dollars.
