Case Study / Expungement The record was expunged. Google didn't care.
The court expunged her case years ago. The internet never got the memo. One local news article, still the number one result on her name, and about nine broker listings standing between her and a clean search.

Court-aggregator records checked that were still hers
Broker listings found carrying her details at intake, and after the removal work. Separately, we checked 281 court-aggregator records and confirmed none of them were hers. The news article, which was the number one result for her name, came down eight days after first contact. Live search verification 2026-07-23.
How to read this
The article was the headline problem and it came down in eight days. The broker listings were the quieter one: about nine of them, each rebuilding the picture the court had already erased.
The problem
A court expunged the case years earlier. The article about the arrest was still the number one result for her name, with roughly nine data broker listings behind it repeating the details.
What we did
We documented the expungement and took it to the publisher under their own correction policy, then worked the broker listings in parallel rather than waiting for the article to resolve first.
Where it landed
The top result was gone in eight days. We then checked 281 court-aggregator records and confirmed none of them were hers. Her name searches clean.
An expungement clears the record. Somebody still has to clear the internet.
