Hello and welcome to another episode of Diary of a Private Investigator with me, your host, Nathan Hoole of Dolos Investigations.
I thought for this episode I'd do something a little different and go through the recent goings on!
It's been a busy time here at Dolos and I've had the pleasure to work on a variety of different cases.
You'll hear me dive into cheating partner cases as I follow a couple into their local gym, some process serving work, some eviction work and some traveller work!
People assume that a lot of what we do at Dolos is around cheating partners, but that's not the case. We deal with a huge variety of different cases.
As credible witnesses, we can serve legal papers, aid in the eviction of travellers and private individuals.
I also talk about the attention to detail that's required for effective surveillance work, ensuring that the meta data from the cameras we deploy all match so they hold up in court if needs be.

Accessing people’s digital footprints, using the dark web & staying morally grounded
Hello and welcome to yet another episode of Diary of a Private Investigator with me, your host, Nathan Hoole of Dolos Investigations.
This week, I’m joined by Aaron Barnes-Wilding of Barnveil. Based in Liverpool, Aaron is my ‘tech guy’, the person I turn to if I need information, data or any kind of digital support when it comes this kind of thing.
We discuss the important of ensuring that the information we access is done so morally and with the right intentions. People don’t realise just how much information and data they leave when using the internet, from your phone contract to your spending habits, from your social media accounts to your search history and that’s just the very tip of the iceberg.
We also touch upon the dark web, how it’s accessed, what can be found and the grey areas we have to navigate when hunting for data that has been leaked across the platform.
Aaron can find out what a stalker, fraudster or journalist has on file about you, he’s helped me with multiple cases and he’s an expert within his field. I’m certain that you’ll find some incredible insights from this episode.

The shocking statistics behind rape convictions, stories about cases of those accused and listener questions
Hello and welcome back to The Diary of a Private Investigator podcast with me your host, Nathan Hoole of Dolos Investigations.
It's been a while, I'm sorry! It's been busy and things have been going crazy but I'm back into it with a brand new episode.
This week, I answer some listener questions and share some feedback I've had recently!
Thank you for the buy me a coffee donations too, very generous!
I dive deeply into the very important and often misunderstood topic of rape, from how it's dealt with to how the CPS and police deal with these types of cases.
It's a heavy subject but it's vital that we discuss it, from injustices to low conviction rates, from victim support to changes in how the law handles it...I get into the nitty and gritty based on my experience as a previous cop and a PI.
