Case Studies
When investigators in New Orleans took on the Dixon case, they faced a mountain of digital evidence that would make most computers cry. But in just five months, they turned that digital mountain into gold, achieving something remarkable: multiple plea deals secured and convictions at trial.
By the Numbers: Digital Sleuthing at Scale
Picture this: 2.4 terabytes of digital evidence. That's not a typo – we're talking about enough data to fill a library. The process with TimePilot included:
13,009,560 items extracted from phones
1,205,280 social media posts analyzed
178,760 audio files analyzed
16,485 hours saved
1 murder weapon serial number found in that digital haystack
And they didn't just find a needle in that haystack – they solved the whole case.
The Digital Detective Toolkit
The investigation leveraged TimePilot, a sophisticated data analysis platform that dramatically accelerated the processing of complex digital evidence. This tool enabled investigators to efficiently analyze massive datasets including jail phone calls, video surveillance footage, and text messages—tasks that traditionally require extensive manual review hours.
The Bottom Line
This New Orleans investigation didn't just solve a case – it wrote a playbook for modern digital detective work. It proved that with the right tools, talent, and tenacity, there's no such thing as too much data. The future of forensics isn't just digital; it's here, it's powerful, and it's putting bad guys behind bars.
