Well, could be the result of a Sherlock Scan. Or just plain stalking.

No, that's not quite it, nor are any of the tropes that are linked from there. It's commonly used as an exposition for a character, sometimes given to investigators as if they care about all of these details.

I think there's an example in one of the Bourne movies and maybe another in Spy Game, but I couldn't find either by skimming the scripts.
