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.

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.

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.

Hello and welcome to Diary of a Private Investigator with me, your host, Nathan Hoole of Dolos Investigations.

This month, we'll be discussing everything from how AI will affect the private investigation industry, answering some listener questions and of course, moan of the month is back!

AI is obviously continuing to grow at an incredible pace, I've been pondering the implications or use cases within the world of private investigation, from AI generated evidence in imagery and video to tools and softwares that may have a beneficial impact.

One of the incidents recently, is that concerning Grok. The AI tool that allows users to create imagery and other content. The latest, is that it's been used to create nude photos of people that are fully clothed in the source material without their consent. Worrying.

I also talk about my pricing structure and hourly rate, something that isn't spoken about too much in this industry but transparency is absolutely key so stay tuned to hear all about how I operate and how I charge.

Hello and welcome to Diary of a Private Investigator, I’m your host Nathan Hoole of Dolos Investigations and this week I’m joined by Jacqeline.

Jacqeline joins me on this episode to tell her story about what started as a wonderful relationship which gradually turned into one of the most horrific ordeals of her life.

After meeting online, the red flags began to appear but her partner’s deception and manipulation went undetected, as usually is the case with situations like this.

We discuss intricate details of the relationship, from BDSM to damning lies about his family and private life, Jacqeline has endured a lot but has come out the other side as she starts to rebuild her life and rediscover her confidence.

We also discuss the impact the private investigation had on this case as Jacqeline is actually a client of mine, I helped her throughout the investigation to finally get her the answers she deserved.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Diary of a Private Investigator with me your host, Nathan Hoole of Dolos Investigations.

It seems like only yesterday that I had Charlotte on the show but it was months ago!

During this episode, we dive into how since our last chat, she was recruited by C4's Hunted and what is was like actually being on the show!

It was a fantastic chat, full of insight into how it all works behind the scenes and how her life has been since the show as a private investigator.

We talk about how she got recruited, the interview process, the rules applied when the cameras stop rolling and so much more in this detailed look at how the show operates to create a truly awesome series.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the ‘Diary of a Private Investigator’ podcast, with me you host, Nathan Hoole.

I’m the founder and lead investigator of Dolos Investigations based in Sheffield, UK and I started this podcast to share my stories, thoughts and experiences from the world of private investigation, from people tracing to cheating partners.

This month, I received a question from a listener asking for any thoughts I had around process serving/bailiff work as they’re just applying for their certification. I dive into a few of my experiences and thoughts on what it a commonly misunderstood job.

I also share some stories around people tracing and the positives (and risk) that sometimes comes with it. People tracing has its highs and lows just like anything else, when you’ve managed to complete the job and make a positive impact on someone’s life then that’s a top result! Sometimes though, you need a little due diligence to not only protect yourself but your client and possibly the person being traced.

Aside from the usual PI stories, I also share my moan of the month so make sure you stay tuned until the end of the episode!
