    Searching for the Digital Evidence in Your Physical Crime Scene: Part 2

    Early identification and recovery of digital evidence are critical for an investigation, and the amount and types of technical evidence have grown exponentially. This webinar will discuss digital "footprints" that can help you during your investigations, regardless of your technical background. We will discuss victim-based, suspect-based, and location-based ways of finding evidence to include innovative ways of seeing a crime scene through different technologies. Remember, even though your suspects device did not "connect" to anything, it likely did leave a trail on the victims device, nearby routers, or may have been collected by tech companies. This webinar is designed for investigators, prosecutors, crime analysts, or those who generally investigate crimes. No high-tech background is needed! Though it is recommended, you do not need to attend part 1 to attend part 2.

    Did I Do That? An Introduction to Mobile Device Artifact Research and Testing

    Have you ever wondered how the forensic tools you use, know what they do? Have you ever wondered what an artifact means and why the 0 indicates a call was missed? Join NW3C High-Tech Crime Specialist Chris Atha as he introduces how to find these answers. Chris will break down the basics of setting up a mobile test device and performing basic differential testing using an iOS device. These steps will be performed using various free and open source tools, which students can use to follow along.

    The Role of Online Social Media in Predicting and Interdicting Spree Killings: Case Studies and Analysis

    Online social media and emerging methods of electronic communication are changing how people communicate and interact with world around them. Increasingly, those contemplating engaging acts of spree violence express themselves in online social media. It is important that investigators, analysts, and those responsible for school, workplace, and public safety understand how this behavior plays a key role in predicting and interdicting the violence. Items of evidentiary value can now often be recovered from online communities. This evidence can provide indicators of planned violence and help to shed light on the thought processes and motivations that led to the tipping point of violence.
    The training will explore the interaction between social media and spree violence through a historical examination of case studies ranging in time from 1927 to 2022. Police, prosecutors, probation officers, school and university administrators, and others responsible for workplace and public safety can all benefit from this training.
