Unlock Critical Evidence
In digital forensics, mobile devices often contain artifacts that, when accessed by GrayKey, can become critical evidence used in a variety of cases.
Child Exploitation/CSAM
Obtain access to evidence that can identify CSAM materials.
CHALLENGE
In a major metropolitan city, law enforcement was seeing a high number of cases involving child exploitation victims. Investigators were working diligently to help find the perpetrator conducting these vile crimes. Finally, they got a strong lead on a suspect.
HOW GRAYKEY HELPED
Law enforcement pursued their lead on the suspect and went to his residence to bring him to the law enforcement agency to conduct an interview. It was quite a drive between the suspects’ residence and the law enforcement agency. Investigators had obtained a warrant to obtain access to his mobile device and used GrayKey. The digital forensics investigators were able to see a pattern of individuals whom he had been in contact with. The ability to conduct this type of data extraction while in the field saved the investigators a lot of time and provided faster case resolution.

HOW GRAYKEY HELPED
Digital forensic investigators used multiple GrayKeys to process the plethora of mobile devices they lawfully seized as part of the coordinated operation. Digital evidence revealed crimes they committed over a period of years and uncovered evidence of planned future crimes.

Homicide

CHALLENGE
A shooting took place at a residence and several individuals were at the home when the shots were fired. When Law Enforcement officers arrived on the scene, they were advised that someone inside had been shot and killed. None of the individuals on location would cooperate with police. However, the victim had a mobile device in his pocket, but that device was locked.
HOW GRAYKEY HELPED
Responding officers knew that the mobile device most likely contained valuable digital evidence for this investigation, so the phone was immediately connected to a power supply to keep the device on. Within two hours, the digital forensics examiner had access to several artifacts which proved to be critical incriminating evidence.
