Hiring a private investigator in a missing person case

When a person goes missing, every minute counts. Despite efforts of law enforcement, sometimes there may be limitations to their resources or protocols, which may delay the investigation. That's why private investigators can provide crucial help in finding missing persons. We have the tools and techniques to aid in the search, like advanced surveillance technology, specialized databases, and search technology such as thermal imaging drones. We can focus entirely on the case without the distractions of other ongoing investigations, which can limit law enforcement's response.

As private investigators (in states we are licensed), commercial drone pilots, and search and rescue operators (in all states), we have unique training and skills that are invaluable in locating missing persons. We can discreetly and professionally gather information, conduct interviews, and coordinate efforts with law enforcement agencies. Our resources include access to information and resources like digital footprints, criminal records, and license plate reader databases, which may not be available to the general public. By hiring a private investigator, families can have confidence that all avenues are being explored in the search for their loved ones and that every effort is being made to bring them home.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or require our services. We are here to help in any way we can.

The 5 most important factors in a missing person search

  1. TIME: Time is of the essence in a missing person case, as the longer a person is missing, the lower their chances of survival or being found alive. A prompt and efficient response is critical in the early states of the search effort.

  2. INFORMATION: Accurate and detailed information about the missing person is essential in a search effort. This includes information about their appearance, behavior, last known location, friends and acquaintances, and any other pertinent details that may aid in the search.

  3. RESOURCES: Adequate resources, such as investigators, search and rescue personnel, drones, K9 teams, and other specialized equipment, are necessary to conduct a comprehensive search.

  4. COORDINATION: Effective coordination between teams, investigators, law enforcement agencies, and other organizations involved in the search is crucial to ensure that the search effort is efficient and focused. Clear communication and collaboration can help prevent duplication of effort and ensure that all leads are pursued.

  5. PERSISTENCE: Persistence and dedication are essential in a missing persons case, as the search effort may continue for days, weeks, or even months. Search teams must remain committed to the effort and be prepared to explore all leads and possibilities until the missing person is found

INVESTIGATION

An investigation is crucial in a missing person case because it can help to uncover important information that can lead to locating the missing individual. When someone goes missing, time is of the essence, and conducting a thorough investigation as soon as possible can increase the chances of finding them alive and well. Investigators use a variety of methods such as interviews, forensic evidence analysis, and surveillance to gather information about the missing person and their possible whereabouts. They also work with other agencies such as law enforcement, social services, and the media to disseminate information and appeal to the public for assistance. A comprehensive investigation can uncover important leads, rule out potential suspects or causes, and provide critical information that can lead to a successful resolution of the case.

SEARCH

Search techniques play a critical role in a missing persons investigation, as they can help to locate the missing person quickly and safely. The first step in any search operation is to gather as much information as possible about the missing person, such as their last known location, habits, and any medical conditions they may have. Investigators then use various techniques such as ground searches, air searches, and K-9 searches to cover as much ground as possible. They may also use advanced technology such as drones and thermal imaging to aid in the search. Search teams work systematically, covering areas that the missing person is likely to have gone, and looking for any signs of their presence, such as footprints, clothing, or personal belongings. The success of a search operation depends on the efficiency and thoroughness of the search techniques used, and the coordination between search teams and other agencies involved in the investigation.

RESCUE

This is the end goal. Rescuing and/or recovering your loved one and bringing them home.
