Collusion For Chrome: Tracking The Victims and Criminals In Palm Springs, California Using Laurie's Own Handwritten Notes

One of the innovative ways that my team is tracking the victims and criminals involved in this crime use to be like sticking a poster board full of post it notes, until the list of victims grew exponentially.  Once the "Book of Slaves" (the complete list of victims and RFID chip numbers) and the "Book of Shadows"(the complete list of police officers and their RFID chip numbers) were recovered, we embarked on finding a computer program that would allow us to input information into a computer data base that would connect like path crossings and relationships to one another.  

These two hand written logs provide much more information about the victims and whom the criminals contacted, whom they were friendly with, their dates of implantation and infection and so much more....clicking on a relationship provides my team with a quick glance of their torture and a brief history of their victimization.

It looks like this:
In our model, based on Laurie's handwritten notes, each dot represents a cop, a victim or an operator...the lines that are computer generated show the "relationship" between the cop, victim, or operator.  Individual information compiled from Laurie's own notes will include RFID chip number, phone numbers associated with those chips, HIV status, date of implantation, dates of infection and all relevant information as included by Laurie in her own words.  When the number of victims topped 530, there was a clear need to computerize our crime board.  This program is similar to the one my team is using to chart the interactions between victims, operators and cops.  Pretty smart, I'd say.

To get an idea of how it works, I will use this example...this format shows whom is tracking a computer user on his own computer, but the program can also be used like a police crime board like you see on SVU.  The programmer simply takes the data from the books penned by Laurie and inputs the information for that victim into cells designated for certain things like, date of "hook up" or date of infection...then the computer relates these victims to other victims as the notes dictate.  What you get is  a moveable program that shows the inter connections between victims and cops and others.

In this example the computer is using tracking cookies to relate sites to the user's computer.  In our investigation we input the victim's information and the computer does the relations for us.

Like this:
Thanks to my best friend Martin for his tireless efforts to bring this system up to speed...his efforts took a long time to get all of the hand written noted into the program but the benefits are so important to understand the scope of Laurie's interactions with these victims and their families and friends.
