lol, no. they just looked at the t-shirt she was wearing in the videos, found where the t-shirt was sold, saw a review which said they were in philadelphia, googled the username of the reviewer, and eventually found the place they worked

actually investigative work

no subpoena's, no user profile aggregators

its the most acceptable use of public resources and is hardly news in 2020 but its nice to read that public servants will do some basic stuff like this.

or parallel construction.

Would finding this path through parallel construction be easier than finding it through forward construction? The forward construction just seems more logical to me.

The point is that the path potentially being concealed could be illegal.

It if were parallel construction, the intent would be for the forward construction to seem more logical to you.

In this case, you could be proving the efficacy of the tactic.

yeah 2013 called and wants its controversial revelations back, everyone knows what parallel construction is.

and really the only reason thats an interesting public service announcement is by thinking this kind of googling in this article was complicated at all.

the "forward construction" is so easy that you should just assume anyone in any agency is competent enough to do this.

anybody that has looked up a friend from high school, or a potential date, or needed a way to contact someone, should have been inspired enough to do this before. and if you weren't, now you are.
