| Case Study - Child Exploitation Investigation |
| Investigators or forensic examiners use Triage-ID directly on suspect computers to extract critical information. |
| Why? |
|
The suspect computer may contain critical information that can be used to obtain a confession or take the suspect into custody. Seizing the computer and submitting for forensic analysis may take days, weeks or months. The suspect is free to operate and possibly continue the abuse. |
| Process |
|
The triage process is run onsite. It is automated so the investigator can continue with the interview. Extracted evidence is stored on a memory key for review. |
| Key Features |
|
- Empowers investigators with automated easy to use tools
- Forensically sound tool used directly on suspect PC for maximum efficiency
- Identifies known CP images using hash values and keywords with 100% accuracy
- Identifies unknown CP images with over 70% success rate by integrating proprietary advanced image analysis technology
- Intelligent search technology targets areas of recent activity and most common suspect file locations
|
| Outcome |
|
Based on the triage results, the investigator can obtain a confession, and/or take the suspect into custody. |
| Benefits |
|
The case can be pled out quickly. This helps avoid expensive jury trials and in many cases either eliminates the need to send computers, or qualifies them, for full forensic examinations. Most importantly for child exploitation investigations, it avoids traumatized family members from having to undergo the anguish of testifying at trails. |
