ABSTRACT
Case presentations and testifying While serving as a private investigator and consultant, I often receive telephone calls from individuals needing investigative assistance. Many callers have never had to relate case facts to others and they tend to ramble on and on before getting to the point. I understand that many callers are nervous and some don’t have any idea what they really want. By asking questions, I can eventually draw out sufcient information to make sense of what happened, what they know or suspect, or what their goals are. My point is that it takes practice to effectively communicate to others information about possible wrongdoing.
