One Call Away From the Truth

It isn’t easy to pick up a phone and call an Investigative Company. What do you say, how do you say it, will you be able to express your thoughts and feelings to someone you don’t know? Is that gut feeling just a passing thought that has taken on too much of itself or is there just enough truth in it to make that call? Believe me; Investigators all across America have heard just about every conceivable story told by their Clients. A scenario involving a spouse, an ex-spouse, a friend, lover, family member, co-worker, boss, neighbor and even an unknown! We have worked every type of case before and have a strategy that can assist us in obtaining factual results. There isn’t a life [...]

My Son was 45 Years When I met him for the First Time

Today there is no shame in placing a child up for adoption, it is encouraged and the mother who made the decision with the best interest of her newborn child is commended and her life goes on. She has nothing to hide or be ashamed of. In today’s society, people have babies outside of wedlock, some continue their relationship without getting married, some raise the child on their own, some seek assistance from their families and some make a choice to give the child a better opportunity and place them in a family environment. My Client became pregnant when she was 17 years old, a senior in high school with a boy she had been dating for a short period of time. Not only did [...]

Hoosier Daddy – Finding a Missing Biological Father

It happens every year around Valentine’s Day. We get a couple of calls with specific requests from a spouse in finding birth parents. And that is exactly what happened with Lorraine. Her husband wanted to know how to find a birth father. His mother was involved in a short relationship and he was the result of it. To find a biological father is a lot easier due to the surname and men rarely change their last name. All the information she had was his first name and a possible last name. She never told him their relationship produced a child. She was from a very well-to-do family and her parents hid the fact that she was pregnant from their friends and convinced her to marry [...]

Past Brought Into the Present – Finding a Missing Person

There was this story about a WWII veteran who had dated a woman a few months in London before he was forced to leave for the Battle of Normandy in France. After 7 decades they were reunited with the help of each of their children. We receive many calls asking questions about one’s past loves here at . Our clients usually try to find them utilizing a people search type of database that only leaves them frustrated with the results. These types of databases have a lot of information, yet nothing is verified and it is somewhat difficult to verify if the person you are looking for is the person that gets pulled up in your search. Let’s take for instance a man who called [...]

Missing Person Search of a Long Lost Family Member

Missing Persons oftentimes aren’t really missing at all; they have just decided to lose contact with family members. Take for instance the case where a female family member, Georgia, took off and never contacted anybody in her family with the exception of her cousin, who had recently died and did not provide any information to any other family member at the request of the missing person. Georgia’s brother, who was gravely ill hired International Investigator to find her before he passed away. He wanted to tell her how sorry he was for not standing up for her those many years ago. Georgia had accused her uncle of inappropriate touching and nobody believed her because her uncle was a politician in a small town. His outward [...]

is your first stop to finding missing heirs

It isn’t easy to lose a loved one, especially a parent. Someone who had taken care of you and now the child has become the parent. But life happens and we go forward and live on. This was exactly the case for Miranda. Miranda’s mother had just been relocated to a nursing home. She had been ill for quite some time and it was impossible for Miranda, an only child, to care for her and work a full time job. So when Miranda received the news that her mother died she was devastated. At the wake, Miranda’s over her Aunt talk about the daughter her mother had that she had given up at birth. This was before Miranda was born. Miranda was shocked and immediately [...]

What’s the Best Thing You Can Do When it Comes to Partnerships?

One thing we have come to realize at is that our business is emotional. Not that we are emotional, but that emotions run high with our clients. It’s obvious that finding a missing person or pursuing evidence to exonerate someone wrongfully convicted or charged with a crime would be emotional. You might not think that many business investigations are quite emotionally-charged as well, but they can be. One case, for example, brought tears to the eyes of a big, burly business man. It was a form of business espionage, but not the kind that would come to mind. When Business Gets Personal His reputation in the marketplace was he was a personable and fair business man. He was good at the computer services he offered [...]

Would You Immediately Accept that You are a Lost Heir?

Have you ever head of a “successional” or “probate” genealogist? Apparently, they do exist, at least in Europe, but the opposite side of the coin is that some who claim the title are con artists. Yes, that means there is yet one more trick coming to light. While investigators like are pros who know how to find a missing person or find missing heirs, the process undertaken by a successional genealogist is a little different. What is usually involved is a contract stating that they get 30 -35% of the inheritance if they can trace you back to an estate that is pending. Now, one story I read talked about a man whose grandfather had a great-nephew who died, unmarried and leaving no will. The [...]

A New Twist on Missing Heir Investigation

When is asked to assist in finding missing heirs, there are a variety of outcomes that repeat. In one case, the outcome has yet to repeat itself. The trust agent called the office and explained that John* had died and there were no known heirs named. However, the trust agent believed, from conversations he had had with John over the last several years that there might, indeed, be an heir – or more than one – somewhere. He wanted us to see if we could find evidence that the unmarried man had fathered any children. is rated as one of the top firms for finding missing persons but this was the first time we were asked to find a person that may or may not [...]
