The Last Detective - Nardizzi Inc.

Conducting international investigations...

We had a great panel discussion on international investigations at the 99th Annual World Association of Detectives conference in Kuala Lumpur. Always great to see old friends and meet some new ones. The hospitality of our Malaysian hosts was out of this world! Enjoyed the numerous meals of chicken rendang and satay. And the city was a treat. One point overall was the transnational nature of crime requires us to educate resistance at the ground root level. Governments are failing to keep to speed as scams targeting the elderly, "pig-butchering", romance scams and others are getting more sophisticated.

WAD Investigator of the Year awarded...

This really caught me off guard - honored to be named 2023 Investigator of the Year at the 98th Annual Conference of the World Association of Detectives in beautiful Vancouver, Canada. I had the mistaken impression the winners were informed beforehand, so when the dinner came, I was well into some fine red wine when I heard the words "investigator from Boston" and "also a writer". Fixed my tie and cleaned up quick.

Thank you to WAD for recognizing investigators like me working on wrongful convictions. Exonerees like Raymond Gaines and others inspire us all! Keep working, keep dreaming, keep fighting...

And I should add that the tremendous outcome was also due to fine work by staff investigator Jill Vaglica. Innocence cases are successful when you work as a team.
