Missing Persons

  • Active / New Cases
    There is no 24 hour wait time to report someone missing and the first 72 hours are the most crucial. The FBI says that on average, more than 800,000 people are reported missing each year. While law enforcement often has resources, large case loads can cause delays and at times hiring a private investigator for an extra set of eyes can help bring a quicker resolution.

  • Cold Case Matters
    Ideally a case is investigated and a successful conclusion is reached but unfortunately that isn’t always the case. As time and leads dry up, often resources are diverted to newer and more recent cases. Few agencies have resources to maintain active and open investigations on historical cases. A private investigator can help generate new energy on a cold case.

Personal Injury, Wrongful & Suspicious Death

  • In personal injury and wrongful death matters, nearly 65% of wrongful death litigation relates to medical malpractice while about 16% are related to automobile accidents. Not all personal injury litigation relates to a loss of life but rather a loss in quality of life. A private investigator can be an incredibly resourceful investment made by the plaintiff when building a case or defendant in defeating a case.

  • In suspicious death matters, a private investigator can be retained to work independently for various reasons but quite often its due to a family not believing the case was a suicide. In some cases, a suicide can be ruled quickly by the authorities without proper due diligence, usually due to confirmation bias or a sense of urgency to move from one matter onto the next.

If you’ve found yourself victim of a false or misleading allegation the investigative services of a private investigator to gather all of the facts can be a game changer and help prevent or minimize potential fallout stemming from such allegations.

Social Media Investigations

Social media investigations are often used during court cases to provide information relevant to litigation, to provide supplemental evidence, establish character and to prove or disprove an alibi. Social media has become increasingly popular in custody cases, divorce and criminal matters.

Social media investigations often play a crucial role in investigating whether or not a client is being cat-fished or scammed.

 

Civil Rights Violations

Your rights are many here in the United States and while some are educated in those rights many also are not. At times poor training can lead to civil rights violations. such as illegal detainment and seizure of your identification without any articulable suspicion of you having committed or are about to commit a crime. A private investigator can be incredibly helpful in laying the foundation for a civil suit in response to civil rights violations.

Subject Locates & Witness Interviews

A licensed private investigator is often granted access to special proprietary databases that provide updated information on subjects including last known addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, property information, criminal history, and much more.

This resource is valuable in helping locate individuals for various legitimate and legal reasons such as a long lost friend from high school, a family member one has not spoken to in years, a biological parent that an adopted individual wishes to reach out to, a witness to an automobile accident that moved and has been unresponsive to an attorney, et al.
