Jamie Stickle: A Team A/Team B Analysis In Action
In cases where there is strong disagreement and the evidence appears to support divergent hypotheses, such as demonstrated here in the matter of Jamie Stickle, consider conducting a Team A/Team B analysis. Methodology and Scope This case study is an educational demonstration of structured intelligence analysis using publicly available information. It is not an officialContinue reading “Jamie Stickle: A Team A/Team B Analysis In Action”
Diane Marie Shields: Hitting The Limit Of Available Evidence
A key roadblock analysts face in exploring historic cases, such as here in the matter of Diane Marie Shields, is hitting the limit of available evidence due to low media coverage. Barring the full release by law enforcement of case files, the analytical limits may have been reached. Methodology and Scope This case study isContinue reading “Diane Marie Shields: Hitting The Limit Of Available Evidence”
Russell And Shirley Dermond: When Intelligence Gaps Impair Analysis
The Dermond matter is an example of a case where there are simply too many intelligence gaps to conduct an analysis. In such times, you may need to work with investigators to build a stronger dataset before beginning or proceeding in your work. Methodology and Scope This case study is an educational demonstration of structuredContinue reading “Russell And Shirley Dermond: When Intelligence Gaps Impair Analysis”
Alfred J. Kunz: Partnering With AI For Cold Case Analysis
BLUF | Partnering with large language models in cold case analysis, such as demonstrated here in the matter of Father Alfred J. Kunz, can add a tremendous value to your work, but understand its limits. Don’t rely on it as a human replacement. And do your own work first. Methodology and Scope This case studyContinue reading “Alfred J. Kunz: Partnering With AI For Cold Case Analysis”
