The Fake Investigator Found His Own Credentials on a Rock

Fear that the person who signs an expert's report could be a complete fabrication - and that you only notice because of a laminated card on a rock - starts this story. A credentials card belonging to "Roger West" was found bone dry on a rock 600 feet from the nearest road at 7:42 AM on November 4, 2015; how did it get there, and what did that discovery unravel about an industry that accepted him for nearly a year?
In this episode, we follow the sequence of events that began with a chance discovery and expanded into a web of fabricated credentials, questioned methodology, and slow procedural unspooling. We describe how West created a professional identity, how he was hired for 22 cases, and why a routine credential check raised the single question that changed everything: was he ever who he claimed to be?
