Geolocation intelligence for private investigators, attorneys, and law enforcement agencies. Three-year historical depth across 600 million devices, delivered as case-grade reports by a licensed Florida Intelligence agency. Per-case engagements — no platform subscription required.
Next 72 Intelligence was built by seasoned investigators for the investigators, attorneys, and law enforcement professionals who need to surface information almost impossible to find any other way. We are not a data broker selling subscriptions — we are a licensed investigative intelligence agency.
The underlying intelligence platform we operate was built on intelligence-community tradecraft — tracking terrorist actors, mapping troop movements, identifying meeting locations, and reconstructing patterns of life from sparse signal data. Every person carrying a cell phone today emits the same class of signal: GPS coordinates and advertising-network data transmitted through the apps they have authorized. That signal is what makes a modern investigation solvable.
Our capabilities are as unique as the case in front of you. A missing person whose phone last broadcast at a truck stop two states over. A defendant whose pattern of life reveals a residential anchor never disclosed in records. A witness whose device was inside a thirty-meter radius at the moment of the offense. Each engagement returns fact-based intelligence — geolocation patterns, mapped locations, timestamped signals, and the IP address of the device itself.
Every Next 72 engagement runs through the same intelligence platform — used at continental, neighborhood, and property-level scales depending on what the case demands. The three views below are real outputs from active engagements, drawn at progressively finer resolution.
Continental view. Multi-state engagement footprint with co-travel and inter-jurisdictional movement surfaced as connection lines between anchor sites. Used in fugitive recovery, missing-person work that crosses state lines, cargo-theft network analysis, and any case where the question is “where else has this device been?”
Neighborhood view. Aggregate device counts at each cluster within an analysis window — densities ranging from 2 to 169+ devices. The analyst can drill into any cluster to surface device IDs, time-of-presence patterns, and residential anchors. This is the working view for commercial geofence queries: stores, offices, distribution sites, schools, public gathering spaces.
Property-level view. Every signal a target device emitted inside a defined parcel, plotted across the analysis window. The visual collapse onto a single residence makes pattern of life and anchor identification visceral — used to confirm a primary residence not disclosed in records, to identify daily occupants, and to correlate device presence against known incident times. This is what a residential anchor looks like before redaction.
The Fourth Amendment warrant framework — including the Carpenter v. United States standard — governs government compulsion of carrier records. Private investigators and attorneys are not government actors, and Next 72 engagements run on commercially available data — not records compelled from a carrier. The work falls outside the warrant framework entirely.
From advertising-network identifiers and GPS signals that users authorized their apps to transmit when they granted location permissions. The signals flow through the lawful commercial data-broker chain — not pulled from devices, not extracted from carriers, not obtained through compulsion. Consumer-authorized at the source.
That's a policy choice, not a legal one. The flagship geospatial platforms market exclusively to federal, state, and local government to limit regulatory exposure. Private investigators and attorneys are locked out by contract, not by law. Next 72 is the licensed agency that fills that gap, with documented permissible-use review on every engagement.
Next 72 does not accept or process personally identifying inputs. We do not run phone numbers, IMEIs, names, social security numbers, or any identifier that would link signals to a named individual. Engagements are anchored on geography, device patterns, and time windows — not on people. Identity attribution, when needed, is the responsibility of the retaining investigator or counsel through their own lawful methods.
When the question is — where is this person now, and where can you reach them?
When the question is — was the subject at this place, at this time?
When the question is — what does this subject actually do, over weeks, months, years?
When the question is — who is this subject operating with, and where does the network reach?
When the question is — who was there? We go back in time, geofence the scene, and surface every device that was present at the moment in question.

Analyst-led work using the underlying counter-terrorism platform. Geofenced signals and device data run through high-tech analytics, AI, and machine learning to produce pattern-of-life reconstructions, geofence resolution, co-travel detection, predictive geography, and residential anchoring.
Structured intelligence report with timestamped signal records, device identifiers, IP addresses, mapped overlays, narrative findings, and methodology. Designed to give the client the specific data points needed to pursue subpoenas, warrants, or further discovery through proper legal channels. Affidavit and expert testimony available on a case-by-case basis.
Nighttime homicide in a remote agricultural field; victim recovered the following morning. Geofence resolution at the scene during the offense window surfaced a single anomalous device signal in close proximity to the body. The device was traced to its overnight residence with corresponding IP address — surfacing both identity and location.
Shooting incident at a regional law-enforcement facility. Geofence resolution during the offense window identified eleven unique devices exhibiting witness-consistent presence patterns, plus one anomalous device profile consistent with the shooter. All twelve traced to identifiable subjects for follow-up interview.
Insurance-carrier engagement on a multi-trailer cargo loss. Every document submitted by the operators was fraudulent — fake IDs, false broker credentials, no traceable footprint. Device intelligence on the burner phones associated with the operation surfaced the network's principals and staging locations across multiple states.
Brand-protection engagement on a counterfeit-goods distribution. Geofence resolution at the suspect's residence surfaced regular travel to multiple otherwise-unconnected commercial addresses — each subsequently identified as a warehouse or shipping node in the counterfeit inventory chain.
Family engagement on a missing teenager believed to be with an older adult male. The minor's phone had been disposed of to defeat tracking. We pivoted to the adult subject's device, mapped his pattern of life, and located both at a single residential address.
Commercial burglary at a regulated dispensary. Geofence resolution at the scene during the offense window surfaced two device signals. Both subjects were operating under active VPN cover — but VPN masks network identity, not the MAID-based location signals emitted by apps using the device's actual GPS. Both subjects located.
Civil engagement on a high-profile defendant attorney who had been actively evading subpoena service for six months across multiple investigative firms. Pattern-of-life analysis surfaced a beachfront short-term rental on the West Coast as the subject's current anchor. Service was effected within two days of engagement.
Each engagement is unique to the question in front of you. Answers come back as fact-based intelligence — geolocation patterns, mapped locations, timestamped signals, and device IP addresses. If you have a case that conventional methods haven't closed, that's the kind of case we want.
