DT MICS (DTM Investigative Case Summaries)

Florida | A Port Orange man has been arrested for allegedly harassing a couple and filing a false report with the Florida Department of Children and Families. Investigators accused Herbert of using an internet based phone number to falsely report that a woman and her husband were abusing their children. A child protective investigator found no evidence supporting the allegations, and the case was closed as unfounded, according to deputies. Detectives later obtained records from internet companies that allegedly linked IP addresses associated with Herbert’s known residences, according to the affidavit. observerlocalnews.com/news/2026/jul/…

We stopped paying any mind or attention to that toothless wonder the second we realized she was a fraud. In one video, she forgot to redact “Nicole’s” number. In another, she’s on her desktop with a giant “N” for Nicole displayed while using Chrome alongside Photoshop. Fraud.

@IrinaDNI @KatKanDew Fun fact: When I first started to follow the goings on and expressing my opinion, ‘Ken Thomas’ and his cohorts swore every way but sideways that I was Magnolia. “Stop denying it - we had it figured out pretty easily.” 🤣🤣🤣

The Story of “Ken Thomas,” Told Through Her Own Posts and Admissions: Behind the name “Ken Thomas” and the X handle @KatKanDew is a woman who appears to have built an online identity that leads others to assume she is a man. Using a masculine name, limited personal details, and a profile centered on crime, evidence, and investigations, she has presented herself as a seasoned true-crime researcher while keeping her real identity largely concealed. Her profile describes her focus as “Real Crime,” accompanied by the slogans “FACTS,” “EVIDENCE,” and “SCIENCE.” Across years of public posts and private conversations, she has described herself as a historian, writer, researcher, former government employee, business operator, investigator, forensic professional, profiler, auditor, and someone knowledgeable about law. She has claimed that her career exposed her to serious injuries, offenders, criminal behavior, and thousands of cases involving certain medical or forensic findings. However, the material reviewed does not independently establish her actual name, profession, employer, credentials, or licensing. She has said she has been involved in the online true-crime community for years, using other names before returning as “Ken Thomas.” She claimed that she once had approximately 40,000 followers, had been suspended more than once, and had left and returned to the platform. She described participating in research involving cases such as Gabby Petito, Jacob Clare, Sarah Southard, the Idaho student murders, Stephen Smith, Riley Strain, Sebastian Rogers, and Nancy Guthrie. In private messages, she said she previously performed research for online creators, including Nerdy and Nik when they worked together. She also claimed that she assisted the North Port Police Department during the Laundrie investigation. At other times, she publicly attacked or distanced herself from the same online communities and individuals she once said she helped. She portrays herself as having access to extensive personal information. In one post, she stated that her research allows her to locate a person’s addresses going back approximately 20 years, along with relatives, associates, and businesses. She claimed that she does not post that information during ongoing investigations and instead sends it to law enforcement when necessary. The statement nevertheless shows that she wants others to understand that she can trace people and their families. Away from true crime, she presents herself as a busy mother and caregiver. She has repeatedly discussed her children, their schedules, and their activities. She said all of her children play sports and that she is a coach. She described two of her children as competitive multisport athletes and said her family was occupied with practices and activities five nights a week and on Saturdays. She also stated that her children were competitive swimmers and that her two oldest were certified lifeguards. She has talked about driving her children long distances, having screaming children in the background, checking on them before bed, and closely supervising their internet access. She said her children did not have personal phones or unrestricted devices and publicly advised other parents to monitor children’s social media because of grooming risks. She has presented herself as a mother who believes strongly in supervision, discipline, and protecting children. She has also stated that she cares for her elderly mother, whom she identified as being 82 years old. She said her mother lives in Florida and described arranging for a family member to drive her to medical appointments after becoming dissatisfied with Uber’s assistance. These details create the image of a woman balancing children, caregiving, employment, and online crime research. Her public conduct, however, does not always match the careful, evidence-based image she promotes. Her posts often contain speculation, accusations, rhetorical questions, insults, and strong conclusions about people involved in active investigations. Although she criticizes others for spreading rumors, she has admitted that she sometimes asks questions, introduces information, or throws ideas out publicly to see what gains traction. Her relationships within the true-crime community have repeatedly shifted. People she once worked with or defended later became targets of criticism. She has condemned online harassment while engaging in aggressive exchanges herself. She has criticized doxxing while publicly emphasizing her own ability to locate addresses, relatives, associates, and businesses. She has demanded evidence from others while sometimes relying on implication and speculation in her own posts. The most troubling contradiction involves her repeated public emphasis on protecting children. Recent screenshots show the account posting images and links associated with the Florida Department of Children and Families abuse-reporting system during an online dispute. The posts repeatedly display the state’s child-abuse hotline and reporting portal but do not visibly identify a specific, documented allegation of abuse or neglect. In context, the repeated posting of the reporting system appears less like a neutral public-service announcement and more like an effort to direct attention toward filing reports against another person. It creates the impression that the child-protection system is being introduced as a weapon in an online conflict rather than as a resource for reporting a genuine and factually supported concern. It would be inaccurate to state as an established fact that she personally filed a false report unless evidence confirms that. It is fair, however, to say that she appears to be publicizing and facilitating access to the CPS reporting portal while participating in a personal online dispute. Any report made knowingly without a good-faith factual basis would be false or retaliatory and could divert investigators from children facing actual danger. That conduct stands in sharp contrast to the identity she has constructed. She presents herself as a mother, coach, caregiver, professional researcher, and protector of children. She speaks publicly about evidence, responsibility, digital safety, predators, and careful parenting. Yet she now appears willing to place the machinery of child protection into the middle of an internet feud. The story of “Ken Thomas” is therefore not simply the story of a true-crime account. It is the story of a woman operating behind a masculine online identity, presenting extensive but largely unverified professional claims, revealing personal details selectively, and building authority through repeated references to research, government, forensics, law, and law enforcement. At the same time, her posts reveal shifting alliances, contradictions, aggressive online conduct, and an apparent willingness to encourage others toward a child-protection reporting system without publicly presenting a clear factual basis. The name may suggest a man. The account may project the image of an experienced investigator committed to facts and evidence. But the material reviewed presents a different and more complicated picture, a woman concealing her identity behind a constructed persona while using the credibility of motherhood, professional expertise, and child protection to strengthen her position in online disputes.

@madureports @BadAssNewzz @SavannahGuthrie @YouTube That’s ridiculous.

The fact that YouTube removed the video posted by @BadAssNewzz but still left Alex’s (Criminal Network) livestream up says everything. WARNING: graphic content. “It’s all about Nancy,” Alex says less than a minute before he starts attacking @SavannahGuthrie alongside another WOMAN on his panel. A woman helping another man tear another woman apart. They mocked her body, made disgusting misogynistic comments and behaved in a way that honestly turns your stomach. Then it got even worse. They made defamatory accusations against people from a family that has spent more than six months desperately searching for their 84 year old loved one who vanished under unimaginable circumstances. They accused family members of having affairs with each other and even suggested murder. These are real people living through unimaginable pain. This isn’t commentary. This isn’t journalism. This is defamation, harassment and one of the most disgusting displays I’ve seen on this platform. I genuinely wonder where people are when this kind of behavior happens. Why isn’t more attention being brought to it? Why are people still pretending this is normal? It’s SICK. The livestream is still sitting on @YouTube for everyone to watch, while the video exposing this behavior was taken down. How does that make any sense? We cannot stop calling this out. We cannot keep accepting this as if it’s just another day on YouTube. Enough is enough. And please stop calling this man an investigative journalist. HE IS NOT. As someone who actually earned a journalism degree and dedicated four years to studying this profession, I find it insulting to watch someone abuse the title while spreading reckless accusations with no evidence and causing real harm to innocent people. I will continue documenting and exposing this behavior until action is finally taken. This post is made for the purpose of commentary, criticism and reporting on matters of public interest.

@chs_teri …..or his partner is a lil too girthy.

so in other words, he has colorectal cancer. Because he sure as hell doesn't have ovaries therefore he doesn't have a period.

You can claim whatever you want, but here’s what I know. You went to extraordinary lengths to conceal who you were and what you were connected to. You made sure your accounts had no visible recovery clues because you didn’t want anyone seeing even two digits of an email address or phone number. You locked down your Facebook. You even blurred the home you reportedly shared with a registered sex offender. And through all of it, you never stood publicly in your own identity and addressed any of this. Instead, you hid behind troll accounts, whispers, and private conversations with my exes, while inserting yourself into my life and, from my perspective, helping fuel years of harassment. The difference between you and me is that I was willing to put my name behind what I said. I said it publicly, and I stood by it loudly. Then the moment the spotlight finally turned in your direction, your first instinct wasn’t accountability. It was denial. So call me whatever you want. After years of trying to define everyone else from behind the safety of anonymity, people can now look at the facts, look at your own actions, and decide for themselves exactly what they see. Your first response yesterday told everyone what they needed to know. I didn’t delete anything, that was you.

@PrettyLiesAlibi Grandkiddos are the best!!!

I have disassembled three beds, put back together two of those and haul one to the dump. I guess you could say I’m in Gigi nesting mode for this grandbaby. 😂😂😂

@ThePicassoChad Even as AI, it’s still disturbing lol
