Human trafficking investigations are complex, with many teams working together with many stages.
Case 1: Forced CamGirl
In some heartbreaking cases, young men and women are manipulated into drug addiction and coerced into performing forced sexual acts in front of webcams.
These acts are streamed on legal websites, where the audience assumes the performers are participating willingly.
This illicit activity is hidden in plain sight.
How FaceMRI Assisted:
- Identification:
A private investigator provides us with a single picture of the victim.
Utilizing our advanced reverse image search, we can identify her presence on various websites, such as XYZ, where she appears as a performer. - Social Media and Video Analysis:
We locate the victim's social media accounts and identify all other videos she may be featured in.
This comprehensive search helps us gather crucial information about her situation. - Geolocation:
We analyze the videos to perform reverse geolocation, determining the exact locations where the videos were recorded.
This helps in pinpointing the places where she is being held. - Reporting:
We compile a detailed report for the private investigator, excluding any explicit material, and provide all OSINT information we have gathered. - Action:
The private investigator can then contact law enforcement with the evidence, facilitating the rescue and safe return of the victim to her home.
Our dedicated efforts aim to bring hidden crimes to light and ensure the safety and freedom of those who are exploited.
Case 2: Sex Trafficked Person
A man or woman is coerced into substance abuse and trafficked across state lines, with their exact whereabouts becoming a mystery. Concerned family members turn to a private investigator for help in locating their loved one.
How FaceMRI Assisted:
- Initial Identification:
The private investigator provides us with a photograph of the individual.
Using our advanced face recognition technology, we search for all other images of this person across social media and the internet. - Comprehensive Image Search:
Our search reveals several images of the individual, allowing us to gather crucial information about their recent locations. - Geolocation Analysis:
We conduct a geolocation analysis on the found images, pinpointing that the person was at a specific mall, on the second floor, outside Store X, between June and July 2023. - Strategic Insights:
We identify that there are four airports within a 5 km radius of this mall.
This valuable information suggests possible routes the individual may have been trafficked through. - Actionable Reporting:
We compile a detailed report with our findings, providing the private investigator with precise locations and timelines. This information can be used to investigate if the individual was transported out of the state via any of these airports.
