CURRENT   ISSUE:   April 2013

   This issue marks the first time we have ever dedicated the cover as a tribute to a deceased individual. Hank Asher was not only an extremely special person; he was also a personal friend and a pioneer for information technology. If you’ve ever run a database search as a private investigator, it’s likely some of the technology used to conduct that search was created by Hank Asher. Many investigators knew Hank as a successful businessman, the founder of TLO or as an info pioneer often referred to as, “the father of data fusion.” However, to many of us who personally knew Hank, he was usually referred to as a great friend, a brother, a leader, a visionary, an entrepreneur or a philanthropist. Hank died peacefully in his home on January 11, 2013 at the age of 61.
