A U.S. DHS investigator used a rare brick pattern in a dark web photo to locate and rescue a 12-year-old girl from abuse.
A U.S. DHS investigator helped rescue a 12-year-old girl, Lucy, from years of abuse after identifying a rare brick pattern in a dark web photo.
Despite efforts to conceal her location, investigators analyzed a pink-cast, eight-inch modular brick in her bedroom wall, which was produced from the late 1960s to mid-1980s and rarely shipped far from its factory.
By consulting a retired brick expert and cross-referencing regional sales data, they narrowed the search to a 100-mile radius, identified a likely residence, and rescued Lucy without alerting the suspect.
The case underscores how small, overlooked details in digital evidence can lead to breakthroughs in complex online crimes.
