My colleague in the US Secret Service, Investigative Analyst Ryan Heethius, assisted on a murder case and played a significant role in solving it. Listen to how that played out at this link. It's interesting!
He is featured in another analyst success story in a podcast at this link.
Ryan illustrates how a good analyst thinks in investigations and you can learn for his processes.
