Why Do You Need a Social Media Investigation?

During court cases, social media investigations are commonly used to provide information relevant to a case, supplement evidence to establish character, support, or disqualify an alibi. These investigations are increasingly used in insurance-related cases, custody battles, divorce cases, and many criminal and civil cases.

One might also need a social media investigation for a background check or risk assessment. The benefits of social media investigations are unlimited, ranging from direct and corroborative evidence to risk assessment and ongoing evidence of activities. Geo-tagged posts can also provide information on potential key witnesses detrimental to the court case.

The private investigator will search for key phrases and examine posts relevant to the objectives of the investigation. In most cases, they will use high-powered software to explore, monitor activity, and set up alerts for new posts and account creations.

Why Hire a Private Investigator?

So why hire a private investigator? A private investigator specializing in social media investigations has specialized skills in locating hidden private accounts that the average person could not find independently. Private Investigators also use various reverse searches and investigative techniques to locate the account more quickly and accurately. Through our investigation, we can sometimes collect pertinent profile photos, posts, and data when an account is private, can’t be accessed or no longer exists.
