"We knew we were missing information in the call detail records from the cellular service provider. There were big gaps in the records and we knew he was calling internationally. We didn't even think about Skype. By looking at Skype we were able to identify other pertinent contacts and tie our investigation into a larger Federal law enforcement case. If we hadn't used the techniques in this book we never would have seen the larger picture." -Intelligence Analyst, San Francisco

"I used the information in this book to serve Skype with a search warrant and got text messages and videos. That information was critical evidence in a large scale narcotics distribution investigation."-Narcotics Officer, Sacramento County
