Title/Topic: This keynote examines a hidden epidemic in our judicial system: What happens when prosecutors fail to turn over evidence they're required to disclose? Drawing on national data, Iris Eytan surveys the scope of the problem, the patterns that emerge across cases, and the accountability gaps that allow it to persist.

Title/Topic: The Value of Leaked Records in Your Investigation

Nowadays, it’s critical to not only adopt OSINT as a staple in your investigative toolset but you must also master an aggressive OSINT methodology, regardless of your business’ scope. Whether engaging domestic cases, corporate cases, insurance claims, missing persons, asset locates, due diligence matters, threat management incidents or any other case type, your clients charge you with rolling out the latest tools and methodologies to ensure the best possible outcome. Lying beyond the realms of social media and comp report databases is the valuable world of leaked records. These days, it seems only a matter of time until every database is leaked, either internally or hacked externally. The ongoing global distribution of leaked records has significantly expanded the pathways leading to subjects. While this is great news for PIs, these additional pathways only surface for those investigators utilizing leaked records. A great benefit of incorporating leaked records into your arsenal is the fact that many leaked records contain true PII – not aliases on a social media account that lead nowhere. Learn how you can unveil more opportunities to identify or locate your subject when you utilize leaked records.
