Law Enforcement Case Study - Location data - SatNav unit analysis
The following is an anonymised case study based on a real assignment conducted by CCL-Forensics for a Law Enforcement Agency
CCL-Forensics has seen a great many makes and models of Sat Nav Unit passing through its labs, over the years – but occasionally an unusual model of device is submitted as part of a case.
Recently, one of our analysts was required to analyse a SatNav, the make and model of which, had not previously been submitted. It formed part of a criminal case. It was not made by one of the common manufacturers, and little information was publicly available about it.
With support from CCL-Forensics’ internal R&D function, the analyst was able to extract and decipher, in only a few hours, the address storage record for the device. Using this, the analyst could not only recover the ‘live’ (i.e. undeleted) records on the device but a substantial number of deleted records.
The majority of the locations recovered tie in with what was expected, and added valuable evidence to the case.
