Top Reasons to Choose Spartan Investigative Group

Spartans founder and owner Tim McLemee has been fortunate to have worked some of the most high profile criminal investigations in the State of Texas over his 21 years in law enforcement. Here are some of the more high profile cases in the headlines.

Case #1 // Gant vs. State

 

Investigator McLemee also accomplished what so few others in law enforcement have ever accomplished, in 2009 one of Investigator McLemee's computer investigations that lead to the arrest and conviction of an individual arrested by McLemee was appealed to the 14th Texas Court of Appeals, the 14th affirmed the defendants conviction and published its opinion making case law with Investigator McLemee named in the opinion 20 times by Justice Charles Seymore.

The published opinion not only addressed the manner in which Investigator McLemee performed his forensic examination of the defendants computer it also made note of and approved in Investigator McLemee's overall method of the Investigation including Investigator McLemee's search warrant, his covert undercover method of investigation, his execution of the search warrant including how Investigator McLemee worked the overall crime scene.

The 14th COP not only declared Investigator McLemee as a forensic computer expert but essentially did the same on search warrants, covert investigations and crime scenes.

Case #2 // East Texas Church Arson Case

Jason Bourque, 21, and 23-year-old Daniel McAllister entered their guilty pleas of multiple life sentences on 02/16/2011 for their roles in multiple church arson in East Texas. Investigator McLemee played a crucial part in this investigation. Investigator McLemee was assigned to the ATF task force to perform investigations on all forms of possible digital evidence. Investigator McLemee obtained countless hours of digital security camera evidence and was able to place both arsonist in close proximity to several of the church fires. Investigator McLemee was also assigned to the search warrant team at the time of the arsonist arrest with his job duties to consist of acquiring all forms of digital evidence from these search warrants and then the actual forensic examination of all computers taken from Bourque.

Investigator McLemee was able to obtain evidence from these computers that shed light into the behavior of and mindset that defendant Bourque had prior to and during the church fires.

Jason Bourque never cooperated with nor spoke to law enforcement, most learned about Bourque was through the forensic computer examination done by Investigator McLemee.

The profile developed by Investigator McLemee on Jason Bourgue based upon the documents recovered, searches done by Bourque, photographs and videos viewed or downloaded onto his computer is one of the most intriguing examinations and profiles Investigator McLemee has done.
