| Scenario |
The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) contacts the
Texas Department of Public Safety (TDPS) about suspicious automobile
insurance claims. NICB reports that member insurance companies paid out
claims eight times over the past three months to members of one family
at the same address (300 South First Street, Muleshoe, Texas). All claimed
they were victims in two-car collisions.
N DEx identifies the address as being the address of Mike Sullivan, a
victim in multiple police reports, including a burglary report, two stolen
vehicle reports, and a pedestrian hit-and-run accident. Using N-DEx’s
search capability, the user finds similar victim reports involving another
member of the family, Bob Sullivan, at different addresses in Oklahoma
and Louisiana. Additionally, N DEx identifies Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) reports in which Bob Sullivan uses an address of 200
North Second Street, Muleshoe, Texas. N DEx links this new address to
multiple fraud investigations by the Bailey County Sheriff’s Office
(BCSO). |
| Outcome |
As a result of the N DEx ability to identify, correlate
and share information between TDPS, NICB and BCSO, police were able to
identify a second Sullivan family member involved in similar fraud in
Oklahoma and Louisiana, which led to the opening of an investigation
of the Sullivan family in three different states. |

As depicted, N DEx allows the discovery of non-obvious relationships between
people, locations, records, etc. In this case, the investigator finds people
related to an address and other locations where the same people appear in
various records.
