Social Media Investigations
At Wolf Research Partners, our social media investigations help clients uncover critical digital evidence, offering powerful tools to support legal cases, personal matters, and business needs. With experience across major social media platforms, we use advanced technology to track down online posts, interactions, and metadata that may serve as admissible evidence. From alibi contradictions to revealing digital footprints that connect individuals to key events, we search thoroughly to find relevant information while upholding privacy and legal standards. Social media investigations are increasingly vital for domestic cases, custody disputes, background checks, and more.
What Happens in a Social Media Investigation?
Our investigations scan Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, and other social and messaging platforms to find posts, images, messages, and tags that individuals may not realize are publicly accessible. Using specialized tools, we uncover these traces, often finding metadata like post time, location, and associated accounts.
Why Are Social Media Investigations Effective?
With over half of adults and nearly all young adults active on social media, the digital space offers a wealth of information relevant to personal and legal matters. Social media use leaves a consistent trail of digital content, interactions, and connections that can be invaluable in presenting an accurate picture of behavior, locations, and relationships.
How Can Social Media Investigations Support a Court Case?
Social media posts often contain location and timestamp data, which can verify or contradict statements made under oath. Images can also reveal additional persons of interest or lead to evidence relevant to the case. Our social media investigators carefully document and verify findings, and in cases where photo authenticity is in question, we apply tools to verify image originality, ensuring admissibility in court.
