ABOUT
Shane Huey
Shane Huey is a Registered Nurse, Healthcare IT Analyst, forensic nurse consultant, and licensed private detective whose work sits at the convergence of clinical medicine, information security, forensic science, and investigative methodology — a combination rare enough that no single professional category fully contains it.
THE CLINICAL FOUNDATION
A nurse first. Everything else builds from there.
My clinical background spans bedside nursing, pre-hospital trauma care, wilderness and austere medicine, and forensic nursing — grounded in active licensure and ongoing advanced certification. That clinical foundation is not a credential I carry passively. It informs everything I do on the analytical and forensic side.
I don't simply review medical records — I understand what they mean clinically, legally, and forensically, because I have lived the moments they describe.
THE TECHNICAL LAYER
When I examine an EHR, I'm not reading a document. I'm interrogating a system.
In Healthcare IT, I bring over a decade of experience working across systems, security, and operational infrastructure, supported by graduate degrees in both information security and IT management. I understand how health information systems are built, how documentation is generated and stored, and how electronic records can be exploited, altered, or misrepresented — from both the inside and the outside.
Audit trails, access logs, timestamp anomalies, system-generated entries that conflict with clinical narrative — this is evidence most attorneys never think to request, and most LNCs cannot interpret. I can.
THE FORENSIC LAYER
The language of documentation carries its own evidentiary weight.
My forensic practice spans legal nurse consulting, forensic nursing, criminal profiling and crime scene analysis, and structured investigative interviewing — trained in both the Reid Technique and the PEACE Model. My OSINT training through INTELTECHNIQUES, combined with formal education in forensic linguistics and statement analysis through Pennsylvania Western University, extends that practice into the language of documentation itself.
I examine not just what a record says, but how it was written — and what that reveals. I am a licensed private detective, a professional member of Investigative Reporters and Editors, and the founder of Florida Unsolved, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit investigative journalism platform dedicated to cold cases and missing persons in Florida.
How I approach a case —
I work the way a journalist does — through primary sources, public records, and documented methodology — and the way an investigator does — with structured analytical frameworks and an understanding of what evidence actually requires. Every opinion I deliver is falsifiable, every methodology is disclosed, and every record I review is examined at three levels simultaneously: what happened clinically, what the system recorded, and what the language reveals.

“The details that win cases aren’t always in the case file or chart. Sometimes they’re in the metadata. Sometimes they’re in the language. I look at all of it — and I have the clinical, technical, and forensic background to know what I’m seeing.”
