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 I agree that when parallel construction happens they make the parallel case a logical one. But that involves making a parallel case. You're saying that the shirt -> Etsy -> Poshmark -> Linkedin chain was not created in that order and was created in some other order. I don't see how it's logical that it could be created in some other order, even with illegal evidence.
