I'm a bit of a Forensic Files nerd, so I worked on a little side project a while back to pull the transcripts from several episodes, use entity recognition to categorize people, places, things, etc, and load them into a Neo4j database (via Cypher queries). It turns out there's something called the POLE data model[1] that can be used by law enforcement to help solve crimes. You load all the details into a graph database and evaluate the relationships to aid in solving crimes. I suppose you could argue a criminal investigation is essentially graph traversal.
