  • Addictive

    I’m a digital evidence analyst and I find myself listening to every episode because they actually analyze— pick the cases apart and describe how to go beyond commercial tools and find evidence. Great show. Recommended.

  • Obsessed with this podcast!

    I love the deep dives into the FACTS and Becky and Stacy’s unique viewpoints as forensic investigators. It’s been a while since I have listened to the true crime genre - mostly because it can be really depressing - but the hosts do such a good job of presenting cases in such a way I can get “scratch the itch” without getting anxiety like I sometimes can… really great job, ladies!

Karen Read 1-3: Jessica Hyde Testimony Part 2
Q: What is the main risk when interpreting BrowserState.db timestamps in court?
The timestamps often reflect tab movements or UI events rather than actual search times, so assuming they mark when a search occurred can be misleading without corroborating evidence from related files.

Q: What happens next after the videos were recovered?
Wayne describes the elation of recovering evidence and how he had to coordinate with other investigators to analyze the footage.

Q: Wayne, can you explain how this type of device complicated the investigation?
Burner phones are not necessarily tied to one individual person, complicating lead tracking in investigations.
