How a Simple Locate Turns Into a Full Social Media Investigation

This episode breaks down a case that began as a straightforward locate assignment and evolved into a months-long social media investigation involving anonymous harassment, hidden identities, and a subject who actively tried to stay untraceable. Senior Investigator Anjanette DuSold began with almost nothing. All she had was a Twitter handle, a backyard photo with a pool, and a jumpsuit hanging on a line. From there, she monitored every digital breadcrumb the subject left behind.

Over time, she uncovered additional accounts, collected fragments of images, and pieced together clues that revealed workplace details, gym habits, and locations the subject routinely visited. At one point, the person posted only their eyes, which became a key clue when combined with continuous surveillance and pattern tracking.

As the case grew more complex, Anjanette brought in Director of Surveillance Janet Henson to assist with the physical investigation. Together they connected subtle details such as hallways, trash cans, and even a roaming security robot to pinpoint where the subject worked. Their persistence ultimately led to a positive identification, successful surveillance, and proper service for multiple civil matters.

The episode highlights how modern investigations rarely stay inside one lane. A locate case often requires surveillance, background profiling, digital monitoring, and a deep understanding of human behavior. It also shows what clients rarely see. True investigative work is patient, detailed, and requires documenting every step for accuracy, legality, and future use in court.
