“While investigating a theft, we located a female suspect who had a new fish finder valued at $170.00 in her purse. I put her name into LeadsOnline and found that she sold two other fish finders within the last month that turned out to be stolen. LeadsOnline also showed where she sold a handgun that had not been reported as stolen yet. Law enforcement officers cannot do their jobs properly without LeadsOnline. The amount of time saved and cases closed, far outweighs the subscription cost.”

“Dear LeadsOnline, I wanted to let you know our department signed up for your 30-day free trial. After using your NCIC search, I was able to locate property stolen from five burglaries that had gone cold with no leads, and numerous other items that had been reported stolen in the past three years. After the success, our department purchased LeadsOnline before our thirty day trial was even up. In my opinion, LeadsOnline is a must for any investigator, and I know I will be sending more success stories. Thanks!”

“A family arrived back home after a week of fun on vacation. They had trusted their daughter’s boyfriend to tend to their family pet and house while they were gone. They were notified by this model boyfriend that while he was gone he noticed that the house had been burglarized. Oddly enough, the suspected burglar only wanted the flat screen TV and Xbox gaming console. Officers arrived and took the report from the boyfriend. They noticed that the lad was positive that the burglar entered and exited through an existing ajar window. Looking at the window, the suspected burglar was nice enough to place the screen back on before leaving. After seeing the behavior of the `boyfriend,` Detectives were called and we thought Leads Online would be a great place to start to save us some time. We received a positive hit on both items stolen from the home, and had been pawned by a male of the exact identity of the resident boyfriend. LeadsOnline showed the location of the stolen items, and the victims were able to retrieve them. The family is now back to watching movies and gaming. The boyfriend was last reported to be sleeping in a nearby cornfield when warrants were issued and attempted. Thank you for your services LeadsOnline!”

“The victim of a burglary to motor vehicle advised that she believed her roommate’s boyfriend, the suspect, had taken her laptop from her vehicle and pawned it. I conducted an online search, through LeadsOnline, using the name the victim provided. This search revealed that the person the victim named pawned a stolen laptop. The victim was unable to provide a serial number; therefore, I responded to the shop, to identify the laptop. I contacted the pawn shop manager and he provided the laptop. I then contacted the victim to identify the laptop. The victim positively identified the laptop by photos on the device and physical attributes (distinctive markings). Management agreed to have the property returned to the victim. This case was accepted by the District Attorney’s Office. The offender took a plea bargain and is serving prison time.”

My initial LeadsOnline search with the suspect’s name revealed 38 pawn transactions within the proceeding 60 days. This LeadsOnline hit included the pawn transaction where the suspect pawned the victim’s jewelry. I subsequently broadened my search and found that since this same suspect has 98 pawn transactions in the past year with an estimated street value of approximately $80,000. A second agency has now contacted me with another victim of this same suspect. We expect many more victims to be identified and several other agencies in at least two counties to become involved in this expanding investigation. LeadsOnline has been a HUGE help to solve this case.

“There was a home burglary where the victim had a laptop, TV and a cello stolen. The cello was a Nikolai Tambosky valued at $37,000. The victim described the loss of the cello as being as bad as someone losing a husband. I looked up to see if any cellos had been pawned and they had not. The cello didn’t have a serial number so it could not be entered into NCIC. I saved my search in LeadsOnline. I received an IP address from the stolen computer. After doing an inquisition subpoena on the IP address and waiting to hear back from the court I didn’t locate anything at that address. I closed the case due to lack of evidence. I then received an email from LeadsOnline that over a month after the burglary, a cello was pawned. I went to the pawnshop and located the victim’s cello. I took it to her work, and she broke down and cried telling me she hasn’t slept in over a month! Thank you LeadsOnline, it would not have been located without you!”
