PI Education Webinar | From Complexity to Clarity: How Top Investigators Transform Complex Data Into Stronger Cases w/ Joe Mangano & Kelly Riddle

Drowning in data but still can’t find the answers? This PI Education webinar, sponsored by TransUnion TLOxp, focuses on tools to help you sift through mountains of disconnected data and home in on what matters. Hal Humphreys hosts Joe Mangano, Director of Business Development at TransUnion TLOxp, and Kelly Riddle, a private investigator, trainer, author, speaker, and founder of Kelmar Global, to talk about how top investigators are changing the way they work. You’ll learn how relationship mapping and advanced analytics can speed up investigations and reveal connections and patterns that manual searches often miss. This helps turn scattered data into a clear picture of the truth. By looking at real-world investigative workflows, you’ll see how technology built for investigators can validate data faster, cut down on dead ends, and keep your cases moving. This webinar isn’t about replacing your instincts. It’s about giving you the right tools to use them even better. Visit TLO’s website: http://tlo.com/?utm_source=pursuitmag…

PI Education Webinar | Modern Tools That Make the Unfindable, Findable, with Brian Willingham

PI veteran Brian Willingham joins forces with host Hal Humphreys for a live session on how to locate people who don’t want to be found.

Ever hit a wall trying to track someone down? They’ve vanished. No address, no phone number, no online trail. This webinar is for you. A lot of people think an investigation ends with a report full of database dumps. It doesn’t. Real investigation means thinking critically, chasing leads, boots on the ground, making calls, following your gut, thinking outside the box. Results over reports, brains over bots. “

Here’s the hard truth: dumping data into a PDF isn’t an investigation; it’s wishful thinking dressed up as a deliverable. If you want real results, you have to think beyond the screen.” -Brian Willingham

She’s the author of Research on Main Street, owner of Marcy Phelps & Associates, and an instructor at PI Education. How do asset searches work?
