Alive or dead
This week we were contacted by a law firm which needed to locate a man for an inheritance issue.
The commission was complicated since the OSINT investigations are not fruitful for older people who have not used the technology, so they have little digital trace. The man in question was 73 years old, so I already assumed that I would find little, but hey, a challenge that I liked.
To begin with, I only had a copy of the man’s ID and a marriage certificate, and from there I had to start pulling the strings, the problem is that they had not given me too much information about the case so I did not know where I had to shoot He did not know who needed the order, who was the deceased.
Without going into the technical details of the case, the thing remains like this after finishing the analysis:
“The man owns 2 homes, 3 tractors and a vehicle, apparently he is not with his wife, each one lives in a different population, she has a divorced daughter who has a girl of about 5 years old, the ex-husband does not live in Spain, the wedding witnesses were the lady’s brothers, one of them without a digital trace and the other with quite a trace, she has a married daughter, who has an acquaintance who is the cousin of the man in question. I get the NIE and passports of the witnesses and the wife, as well as vehicles that have their name and addresses of each of them.
As a family analysis, perhaps I should have asked the office a question in order to better channel the investigation, but after the analysis of profiles, I see that the man in question is dead, I add the date and place of the man’s death to the report and after this sent the analysis to the office “
The office in question did not know where the deceased had died, on what date, nor did they know what patrimony the deceased had, if they had not found the date of death and the place, the investigation would have led to moving to the homes which were the property of the deceased and Talk to the neighbors until you get the date of death and the place in order to ask for the death certificate and last wills (in the case that you had made a will)
