It has been said that a good attorney prepares four hours for every hour of court time. The due diligence involved in the process can be protracted and since most attorneys carry several cases at a time it only stands to reason that hiring a private detective to investigate areas of the case that may be shallow will bring a level of additional expertise that will add depth to your case.

A private detective has a different perspective than your attorney. Through this unique perspective weak areas of your case can be strengthened and information that was previously unknown, brought to light.

No matter what the reason or justification, about 30-percent of all workers’ comp claims are fraudulent which costs the insurance companies more money and that, in turn, costs the employers – who must buy workers comp insurance – more money. Eventually, a company has less money to hire workers or to provide added benefits for the existing employees, which means the fraudulent claimant is costing jobs and benefits. It is NOT a victimless crime.

While an insurer will certainly pay a legitimate claim, insurance companies – and even the employers caught in the financial middle of it all – will usually hire private investigators to discover the truth about a claim that is “suspect.” What makes a claim “suspect” as far as insurance companies are concerned? It’s usually a number of factors that, if standing alone may not make a difference, but when combined with other elements form an environment of suspicion about the claim.

For example; there were no witnesses to the accident or injury – or only close friends or co-workers of the claimant saw the accident resulting in the injury. Perhaps the witnesses’ statements don’t match the account presented by the claimant or the claimant simply can’t recall specific details about the incident.

When investigating the case, the history of the claimant usually provides clues – such as the fact that the claimant frequently misses work or has had disciplinary problems at work. The claimant may also have a history of brief employment at numerous jobs in a relatively short period of time prior to his or her current employment. The claimant may have also filed numerous claims at the prior jobs. Perhaps the claimant is a new employee looking to start the claims “cycle” all over again with a new employer.

There may be obvious situations that would give the claimant motivation to file a false claim; the union he or she is a member of is about to go on strike – meaning no pay check for a while. He or she is about to go on vacation or has just returned and a little more paid time off seems like a good idea. Perhaps the claimant has just given noticed to leave the company or he or she is about to retire and would like a little extra cash to leave with.

A look at the claimant’s personal life away from work can also provide some evidence. If the claimant is having financial difficulties, a worker’s comp claim could be the answer they need – especially if the claimant has a sideline business doing home repairs, deck construction, carpentry, etc. It’s possible they would file a claim to have the time off to take more outside work – while still being paid by their primary employer.

There are many, many more clues and “tells” that a professional knows to look for – which is why private investigators have proven to be extremely valuable to workers’ comp insurers and their client companies.

The Smartphone; An Investigator’s Treasure Trove

A smartphone’s software will leave digital fingerprints and footprints all over the phone, telling investigators, when they obtain the phones from criminal suspects, just what locations that the suspects have pulled up and the directions they received to get there – as well as any photos taken that can contain information as to exactly where and when the pictures were snapped. Smartphone will even store words typed long after the message is sent – even if the criminal thinks it has been deleted.

This particular smartphone feature came back to bite the former mayor of Detroit, Kwame Kilpatrick, right in his political and personal backside – landing him in jail. He didn’t realize his little “love note-text messages” to his mistress, then Chief of Staff, Christine Beatty were being stored in his phone. When the phone was subpoenaed, those messages – like falling dominoes – ultimately led to Kilpatrick’s multiple convictions on perjury and obstruction of justice charges.

By the way; Kilpatrick’s new number? It’s Prisoner 702408, Oaks Correctional Facility, Michigan Department of Corrections, Manistee, Michigan. And as if he didn’t have enough trouble, he’s now facing federal charges related to the alleged misuse of his campaign funds.

Yes, investigators love smartphones. But smartphones can hurt the innocent as well.

It’s Your Life – And Your Phone

Criminals with any real knowledge of smartphone technology can easily steal your personal information, which isn’t hard considering that some of the newer models of phones – that have been rushed to market to handle the latest smartphone craze – have “holes” in their encryption and security systems resulting in passwords and other personal information being stored in easily accessible “plain” text.

Meanwhile, consider the latest convenience application for smartphones which takes online banking to a new level. Banks like Chase now allow you to simply take a photo of the front and back of a check and, using the Chase app, send the image to the bank – which then deposits the check into your bank account. Yeah, that’s just great – because it’s so incredibly difficult to drive to the corner and run that check through the ATM.

Again…be careful! Those check images you send via the smartphone are usually saved in the smartphone and, therefore, can be retrieved along with your other personal banking information – like accounts numbers and passwords – if your phone is stolen.

The best advice may be to severely limit what information you put on your smartphone, because if someone gets access to your smartphone – they have access to your life!

According to a survey commissioned by CareerBuilder.com, of the nearly 8,800 workers interviewed across the United States for the survey, 8-percent admitted to enhancing some aspect of the information in their résumé. In addition, as part of the same survey, just over 3,100 employers said that when they checked, they found nearly half of their applicants had lied on their résumé.

If They Will Lie About This, They Will Lie About Other Things

The reality is that when private investigators are hired to perform background checks on potential employees, they discover that approximately 20-percent of the applicants have lied on their résumé. That means if you are hiring, you can expect one out of every five applicants to be lying about something on their résumé. This begs the question; If they will lie on their résumé to get the job, will they lie to you once they have the job?

This isn’t simply a matter of catching someone in a little “white lie” – it’s a matter of integrity which could ultimately carry your name with it. When someone in your company lies, they are dragging down the company’s reputation – which could mean lost sales, decreased revenue – even bankruptcy.

Background Checks Should Be Standard Procedure

Background checks of applicants can flag résumés laced with lies, as well as reveal any derogatory history such as criminal convictions and jail time – which can include DUI or DWI convictions, crimes perpetrated against company employees or employers and even acts of fraud against a previous employer. A background check can reveal the applicant’s credit history, military service records, college degrees – real or falsified – as well as the applicant’s grade point average while attending college.

Wouldn’t you prefer to know if your applicant really did have a 3.75 grade point average or if he or she actually completed their course of studies in aviation engineering? How about this simple question; “Does the college from where they “earned” their degree really exist?

As far as an individual’s privacy is concerned; employers have a right to investigate an applicant’s background, provided they obtain the applicant’s written permission prior to the investigation – and that the background check is conducted as part of the application process for each and every applicant. If he or she had been hired, the employer may still conduct a background check if the employee has been charged with or is under suspicion of having falsified the résumé that he or she used to land the job.

More than one high ranking corporate executive has been revealed as a fraud following a simple background check. The question you need to answer is; “Do you want the background check completed before he or she is hired or after the embarrassment of having to fire your new Chief Financial Officer – who, it turns out, did not get a degree from Princeton.

“Park 51″

Isaac stood still for a moment in a city that never did. Around the old man churned the constant white noise of city traffic; taxi horns, the deep rumble of “bob-tail” delivery trucks – even the sputter of a Vespa. He looked at the hand written directions scribbled beneath the words “Park 51” on the crumpled piece of scrap paper in his hand – and then looked at the building in front of him.

“This is it?”

A dilapidated old building – sandwiched between two other rundown commercial properties – which had become the most controversial hot spot in the city and all within the single block between West Broadway and Church Street.

“Well, it doesn’t look like much,” he mumbled, “but, neither did Auschwitz.”

Amid the white noise, Isaac could hear slow, but distinct foot falls grinding into the grainy debris of the sidewalk as they approached from behind.

“Beautiful, yes? Well,” the Arab voice added with a prideful sigh, “it will be.”

Isaac didn’t turn – the Arab accent continued, “15 stories, $100-million and the most unique facility of its kind in the city…probably the country.”

Isaac still offered no acknowledgment.

“Perhaps you would like to see inside –”

“The murderers’ lair, no,” Isaac responded acerbically as he turned to face the Imam behind him. “I have seen the insides of the beast and I wish no part of it.” He smiled disingenuously. The Imam’s smile had already faded into an expression of scorn.

“You are just like the rest,” the Imam assessed slowly – and with contempt. “We are building a place of worship; a place to gather, to invite all who…”

“Save it!” Isaac’s clipped outburst remained reserved, but loud enough for the two of them over the white noise. “We have heard it before!” Isaac made no attempt to smile any longer; the anger of the ages shooting from his eyes.

“The clothing changes,” Isaac sneered as he looked up and down, pointing at the Imam’s flowing Galabiyya suit and Kufi skull cap, “whether skull caps on the head of the Imam – or skulls and ‘SS’ insignias on the cap of the Nazi. It makes no difference – the murderers are the same.

“The places change” – Isaac looked at the building – “a rundown office building, a shining new mosque” – he turned his gaze back to the Imam – “or der Fuhrer’s Berghof at Berchtesgaden, it is all the same.”

“Do I know you?” The Imam kept his demeanor pleasant – politically correct.

“Do not be coy,” Isaac replied. “You have known me since the days of our father.”

The Imam cracked a slight smile, “I was merely offering a look inside.”

“A look inside,” Isaac repeated with emphatic disdain. “A look inside at what? A look inside your cult that cuts off the noses and ears of your women because they speak their opinions to their husbands; that stones and whips your women because they wish to learn; that brainwashes your young men into thinking Allah awaits with virgins as gifts, if only the ignorant boys will blow themselves up in a crowded marketplace and kill hundreds of innocent people – or fly jet planes into tall buildings not two blocks from here, killing thousands?! Some were your own countrymen! Is that what you wish to show me inside?

“Or is it the propaganda which you would have the world believe; your claims that, after thousands of years of murdering, you have suddenly changed your ways toward the ‘infidels’ – that you wish to embrace them as your brethren, even though you own teachings order your to kill all of the ‘infidels’ that you can?

“Hussam Fawzi Jabar – your own cleric – even said ‘Hitler was right to do what he did to the Jews.’(*) He said that just the other day …but I’m supposed to believe you have changed since then? And I am suppose to enter this empty building that you will soon desecrate with a mosque and walk around with you as you describe the prayer rooms, the meeting rooms, the swimming pool and movie theater – all places where you will plot to kill me and others like me?

“Do you really think that I believe this will only be a ‘community center’ – that the memorial to ‘9/11’ that you say you will put here will not really be a monument to those cowards who flew those planes into those buildings that stood right over there!” Isaac found himself on tiptoes, pointing toward the area just a few blocks away where the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center stood until that clear September morning.

He had not realized how emotional he had become; how he had begun to rant; how fresh the wounds remained. He still felt the pain; he still smelled the smoke and choked on the dust that filled his lungs as he made his way through the billowing clouds of death and destruction to one of the boats carrying terrorized New Yorkers to the safety of New Jersey. And now, the thought of a mosque in the shadow of Ground Zero – this abomination before God – it was all too much.

“I know your plan,” Isaac whispered to the Imam. “You slither into our society and quietly spread your poison, acting as if you are a ‘part of the fabric’ – just another ‘American’ with the freedom to worship as he chooses. But you are lying. Your ‘place of worship’ harbors criminals against humanity and houses plots to end western civilization. It is not a ‘place of worship’ – it is the latest mark of conquest, just like the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and The Great Mosque of Córdoba. Every time the Muslims conquer, they build a mosque to celebrate their conquest. This is your celebration of ‘9/11’ – that is why you want it here!

The Imam smiled to conceal this hidden agenda and stretched out his arms toward the sky, “But we all worship the same god.”

“NO!” Isaac yelled with indignation. “NO! My God is the God of Israel – your god walks the earth in shame and you are his blood agent. And with my last breath I shall rise up against you as I always have – you and this…” – Isaac turned and lifted his fist – “this unholy place. And you shall never rest here!”

Isaac slowly lowered his fist and turned back to see the dark, Machiavellian eyes of the Imam.

“It never changes, does it, Isaac?” The Imam brooded.

“No, Ishmael”, replied Isaac, “Since the time of our father, it never has.”

Isaac walked away toward Church Street. Ishmael stood still for a moment – in a city that never will.

Let’s deal with first things first; GPS manufacturers and retailers are selling GPS tracking systems. And calling GPS technology the “way of the future” or “the cutting edge of” something or another in an ad for a GPS tracking system is really, well – just wrong.

The technology is based, at least in part, on World War II ground based radio navigation technology. But when Sputnik was launched by the Soviets in 1957 it changed everything.

Scientists noticed the “Doppler effect” – meaning that the signal transmitted by Sputnik was higher as the satellite approached and lower after it had passed over and was moving away. It’s the same effect that occurs when you hear the tone of an approaching car horn suddenly become lower after it passes by. “Doppler effect radar” is now used in weather radar systems to pinpoint changing weather events.

Scientists locked onto this phenomenon, developed a satellite based system with the purpose of pinpointing earth bound vehicles and within four years of Sputnik, the U.S. Navy was operating Transit – the world’s first satellite navigation system. Through the 1960s and 1970s, variations and new systems were improved and became reliable and accurate enough to guide Cold War era U.S. Navy submarine-launched ballistic missiles as well as U.S. Air Force strategic bomber and land based intercontinental missiles precisely to their targets anywhere on the globe.

Then in 1983, Korean Air Lines Flight 007 – with 269 civilian passengers and crew on board – was shot down after the flight strayed into Soviet airspace. President Ronald Reagan issued a directive making GPS freely available for civilian use. By the mid-1990s some two-dozen GPS dedicated satellites had been launched and were in service.

So, new? Not really. Cutting edge? Maybe. And do private investigators already use the technology as a tool for their investigations – you bet.

But here’s the big difference; anyone can buy a GPS tracking system, attach it to a vehicle and get an accurate reading on where the vehicle is going or where it’s been. But once the vehicle is there, then what? You still need photo or video evidence because merely saying someone’s car was where it wasn’t supposed to be doesn’t hold up very well in court – especially when you find out, during cross examination, that the car was loaned to a friend. Now, that’s embarrassing – and costly.

You see, you still have to have eyes on the subject to make sure of what the subject is doing and where the subject really is at the time. CIA operatives will tell you that it’s great having a photo of the bad guys from a “keyhole-class” satellite. But even a $1-billion satellite with high resolution imaging can’t tell you what the bad guys said or who they might have met with under the tent, inside the bar or in a high rise office building. Most reconnaissance takes real live people getting close enough to see and even hear what’s going on – close enough to get photo or video.

That kind of evidence is called “irrefutable” and it’s the kind of evidence that wins cases.

Besides, if you put a GPS tracking device on someone’s car to “spy” on them, your case will be thrown out of court and you will be locked up for “stalking.” Why? You’re not a licensed private investigator – the only defense against the stalking laws. So, it’s really best to hire a professional.

Just asking here – but did you not know that he was in the United States illegally when you married him? And if so, what – you guys liked “living on the edge” like a couple of fugitives on the run?

Of course, Beatriz Castro says her husband of about a year, Josue Castro, is an upstanding, church going man from Honduras – who just happens to be here illegally.

Their attorney, Arturo Corso, is claiming the Hall County Sheriff’s deputies were in the wrong – that they violated “search and a seizure” laws after making the arrest that could lead to Castro’s deportation.

Well, the bottom line is that Hall County Sheriff’s deputies are trained under Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, meaning they are certified and permitted to perform immigration law enforcement functions. And the fact remains that Josue Castro is an illegal alien – even if he is married to an American woman.

Besides, just this week a Tennessee man was sentenced to jail for poaching in Georgia. He’s spending about a year-and-half in a county jail for illegally catching two trout in North Georgia.

So, I’m thinking if that man can go to jail for poaching then Josue Castro can be deported – not for breaking one law by fishing illegally – but for being in the U.S. illegally…married or not.

The sad thing is that we seem to be better at securing the borders through state fishing laws than through federal immigration laws.

No “soap opera” could ever come close to this storyline. This is a “true crime detective” style, bona fide murder mystery that has it all; deep, dark family secrets, serious family money – and ties to the iconic Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach, used in the James Bond movie “Goldfinger”. There’s even a long lost relative – suffering from mental illness – who provides a surprise twist at the end.

The Killer Amway Convention

On July 10, 2009, Ben Novack, Jr., 53, owner and CEO of Convention Concepts Unlimited of Fort Lauderdale, arrives at the Hilton Rye Town hotel in Rye Brook, NY, about 40 minutes from Manhattan, to attend an Amway Global International convention. Amway Global is Novack’s largest client and his wife, Narcy, 53, and her daughter May Abad, 33, attend the convention with him.

Ben is still mourning the suspicious death of his mother, Bernice Stempel Novack, 86, who was found face down in a pool of blood at her home in Fort Lauderdale just three months earlier. Blood is found in several places around the house and her death is ruled accidental – due to a series of falls.

Around 6:30, on the morning of July 12, Novack finally gets to bed after working all night. At 7:15 a.m., Narcy leaves their hotel suite to attend a breakfast at the convention – returning by 8:00 a.m. to find her husband dead on the floor of their suite, next to the bed. He had been beaten to death – his arms and legs bound by duct tape and his face covered.

On July 13, Narcy Novack is questioned by police for approximately 13 hours and given a polygraph test that shows what police would later term “signs of deception.”

By July 16, while Ben’s body is undergoing an autopsy at the Westchester County, NY morgue, police search the Novack home in Fort Lauderdale, confiscating computers and printed documents along with video surveillance recordings. Back in Rye Brook, police discover that the only hotel issued key card that has had any access at all to the Novack suite was the key card issued to Narcy.

On July 21, Narcy issues a statement through her lawyer saying she had nothing to do with the death of her husband – and had nothing to gain from his murder.

The Cat Fight

Less than a month later, on August 14, Ben Novack’s will is filed in the Broward County Circuit Court in Florida stipulating that Narcy is his sole beneficiary and is to inherit the proceeds from Ben’s family estate – estimated at $10-million. However, if Narcy is dead at the time of Ben’s death, the inheritance is to go to the children of Narcy’s daughter, May Abad.

Ironically, on that same day, Fort Lauderdale police respond to a domestic dispute at the Novack home. Police said that Narcy and her daughter were fighting – Abad claiming that Narcy hit her with a crowbar. The altercation occurred less than a week after Abad had a judge freeze her stepfather’s assets and Narcy Novack, who had been the executor of the will, is replaced by a curator appointed to handle the will.

Two days after the mother-daughter cat fight, Abad implicates her mother in the murder, claiming her stepfather was having an extra-marital affair – which is, indeed, later confirmed by police investigators. Abad says that her mother murdered her father because she was afraid he would divorce her – cutting her out of the family fortune.

Dirty Little Secrets

What followed was nearly a year of chasing down clues, police protection, fears by some of retaliation against witnesses and informants, as well as closely held family secrets that were revealed, painting a very bizarre portrait of life behind the closed doors of the Novack home.

To begin with, Narcy Novack, whose real name is Narcisa Cira Veliz Pacheco Novack, is a former stripper from nearby Hialeah, FL – an area replete with strip joints and crime. She married Ben in 1991, but the marriage was rocky from the get-go.

In June 2002, according to police reports, Narcy and two other individuals tied Ben up at their Fort Lauderdale home, robbed him and threatened to kill him. When Ben was found some 24 hours later, Narcy told police that it was all just an elaborate “sex game.” Ben did not file criminal charges; however, he did file for divorce. But Narcy allegedly threatened to reveal Ben’s strange sexual fetishes, so, Ben halted the divorce action.

There had been at least one affair on Ben’s part, but it wasn’t surprising to those who knew the family; Ben and Narcy’s marriage was made far from Heaven and the apple didn’t seem to fall far from the tree. Like his father, Ben, Jr. was a demanding and successful businessman. Ben’s father, Ben Novack, Sr., had several hotels, including the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach – his signature hotel that he had built in 1959. Ben, Sr. also had at least one affair earlier in his life – an affair in which Ben’s own mother was the mistress.

In the 1950s, Ben Novack, Sr. had been married to Bella Novack who had a son, Ronald. Ben, Sr. adopted Ronald but had little to do with him. Ben later had an affair with a young model named Bernise. Ben, Sr. finally divorced Bella, leaving her with her son, married Bernise and in January 1956, Ben and Bernise had a son of their own – Ben, Jr. – and as far as Ben was concerned, Ben, Jr. was his only son.

When Ben, Sr. died in 1985, he only left Ronald one single dollar – the rest of the multi-million dollar estate went to his wife, Bernise and, ultimately, his biological son, Ben, Jr. Meanwhile, Bella’s divorce settlement gave her a small piece of property in Miami Beach that she held on to and managed to earn an income from until she died in 2001.

The Dash For Cash

Eight years later, Ben, Jr. is murdered and the fight for the family fortune is on – with Narcy trying every angle she could to get her hands on the money.

She had the locks cut off of a storage unit and took possession of Ben’s multi-million dollar Batman collection. She tried to get access to his boat but was unsuccessful, though she did manage to take approximately $100,000 in cash out of Convention Concepts Unlimited.

One of her most incredible moves was conning bank officers at Bank of America into opening Ben’s safety deposit boxes – telling them he was alive even though he had been dead for some time. It’s still unclear exactly how she managed to convince Bank of America to open the boxes that would have been sealed until the settlement of Ben’s estate had been legally finalized – it’s especially puzzling given the fact that the murder of Ben Novack, Jr. was so widely reported.

In February 2010, Narcy also managed to convince the court that she should have control of Ben’s $10-million estate – over the staunch objections of the Novack family and Narcy’s own daughter, Abad who had turned on Narcy a month after the murder. But that sweet score for Narcy came crashing down around her earlier this month when federal prosecutors charged Narcy, her brother and two other men with the murder of Ben Novack, Jr.

According to federal prosecutors, Narcy gave the men access to the Hilton hotel suite in Rye Brook on the morning of July 12, 2009 while Ben was sleeping. They also say she witnessed the brutal beating of her husband of almost 20-years and, at one point, even handed the assailants a pillow to place over Ben’s face when they murdered him. Prosecutor also said that Narcy attempted – in the months after her daughter, Abad, turned on her – to have Abad killed. And after a further review of the evidence in the death of Bernise Novack, Ben’s mother, prosecutors now believe Narcy may have also been involved in the elderly woman’s death.

Like many states, Florida has a “slayer rule”, which prohibits a person from receiving any benefits or financial proceeds from the estate of the person they have murdered. Narcy Novack could lose her entire fortune and spend the rest of her life in prison. The estimated $10-million estate would then go to the children of Narcy’s daughter, Abad.

Out of The Blue

In a final twist to the Novack saga; re-enter Ronald Novack, the adopted son of Ben, Sr.

Over the years, Ronald had spiraled down into an abyss of homelessness, despair and mental illness- walking the streets of Fort Lauderdale, sleeping in cars and panhandling. When his mother, Bella – the elder Ben’s first wife – died in 2001, the surviving family members spent years hiring private investigators to find Ronald. Finally, in August 2008, Ronald was located and his inheritance from his mother – the proceeds from the sale of that small piece of Miami Beach property she had won in her divorce from Ben, Sr. – was placed into a trust for Ronald – estimated at more than $7-million.

Apparently a group of fathers’ rights activists are driving the Tennessee Legislature to demand the courts award equal time with their children unless their spouse can prove they are unfit to parent. These equal rights organizations are claiming that the courts have intentionally cut fathers out of the picture when it comes to awarding custody of their children. The pending legislation in Tennessee HB 2916, not the number listed in the article, states that divorcing parents are to be awarded equal time with their children unless one parent can provide “clear and convincing” evidence that the other is unfit. In this instance the court would be required to order an investigation.

A court ordered domestic investigation would most likely be conducted by various State Agencies and may not provide all of the necessary answers as the accused parent would undoubtedly be on their best behavior. Remember too State Agencies have heavy case loads and limited resources to devote to your case. Because of this a parent who is planning to divorce and accuse their spouse of being unfit should hire a private investigator prior to filing. To have the detective work completed prior to filing allows parents to have the opportunity to reach a reasonable agreement between themselves which they would present to the court. HB 2916 also allows for this solution.

One of the problems not addressed in the article is that divorcing parents who want to prove their spouse unfit will be looking in the wrong direction to hire an investigator. Fly-by-night, cloak-and-dagger gum shoes are a dime a dozen and purport to be what they are not. A spouse who is concerned for the welfare of their children needs to seek the assistance of an experienced investigative team in order to get the best results and not get ripped off.
