Shane Huey
Shane Huey is a healthcare IT analyst, forensic nurse consultant, licensed investigator, and investigative journalist whose work sits at the convergence of clinical medicine, information security, open-source intelligence, and criminal investigation — a combination rare enough that no single professional category fully contains it.
His clinical foundation spans wilderness and austere medicine, forensic nursing, and pre-hospital trauma care, grounded in active licensure and ongoing certification at the advanced level. That clinical lens informs everything he does on the investigative and analytical side — he does not simply analyze records, he understands what they mean medically, legally, and forensically.
In healthcare IT, Shane brings over a decade of experience as an analyst working across systems, security, and operational infrastructure, complemented by graduate-level education in both information security and IT management. He understands how health information systems are built, how they fail, and how they are exploited — from both the inside and the outside.
On the investigative side, he is a licensed private detective, a forensic and legal nurse consultant, and a practitioner of multiple structured interviewing methodologies including the Reid Technique and the PEACE Model. His OSINT training through INTELTECHNIQUES, combined with formal education in forensic linguistics — including its investigative subcategory of statement analysis — criminal profiling, crime scene analysis, and digital investigations journalism, spans the full arc from open-source collection through forensic interpretation.
Shane approaches investigative work the way a journalist does — through primary source research, public records, and documented methodology — and the way an investigator does — with structured analytical frameworks, forensic awareness, and an understanding of evidentiary standards. A professional member of Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE), he writes his own investigations, and his case files reflect both the rigor of his clinical and investigative training and a commitment to accuracy that treats every subject — victim, witness, and person of interest alike — with care proportional to the stakes involved.
He holds professional memberships in investigative journalism, forensic nursing, legal nurse consulting, private investigation, and healthcare IT — not as affiliations of convenience, but as active expressions of how he works. Florida Unsolved is the fullest expression of that practice: a nonprofit investigative platform dedicated to the cases no one else is working, built by someone with the tools to actually work them.
