From Dead Ends and Frustration to Real Leads You Can Follow

Missing and hard to find people can affect every aspect of your life in ways most people don't understand until they're living it. You might be desperately searching for a runaway or at risk teenager, trying to reconnect with an estranged parent before it's too late, tracking down a former partner who owes child support and keeps moving to avoid responsibility, locating a critical witness whose testimony is essential for a legal case, finding an heir or beneficiary who needs to be notified about an estate, or tracking someone who disappeared after a business deal went wrong. When you try to search on your own, you almost always hit dead ends, outdated addresses that lead nowhere, common names that return thousands of results, people who are intentionally avoiding being found, and databases that won't give you access.


Our missing persons and locates service is designed to turn those frustrating fragments of information into a clear roadmap forward. We gather and verify key identifiers like dates of birth, prior addresses, known associates, employment history, and family connections. Then we cross check all of that information through legal, professional grade databases that aren't available to the general public, and finally confirm our findings through careful fieldwork. When the stakes are this high, when finding someone could reunite a family, protect a child, or resolve a legal matter. "Maybe" or "probably" simply isn't good enough. You need confirmed current locations, viable contact routes, and thoroughly documented findings that your attorney can rely on if your case goes to court.


Because we're local investigators who live and work right here, we understand the specific rhythms and characteristics of neighborhoods throughout Southtown, Dignowity Hill, Tobin Hill, Avenida Guadalupe, Jefferson Heights, Prospect Hill, Gardendale, and Denver Heights. That local insight helps us verify leads faster, avoid wasting time on false positives, and work more efficiently, an edge that a non-local search service simply can't match. Talk to an investigator today about who you're trying to find and what you already know.

Our Process: Legal, Local, and Driven by Evidence That Holds Up

1) Intake & Strategic Planning:  We begin with a strategy call to gather your knowledge, identify sensitive information, and clarify your desired outcomes. Together, we'll establish a realistic scope and timeline, outline costs upfront, and define what success means for you. You'll understand our approach, methods, and how we measure progress at each stage.


2) Multi-Source Research & Intelligence Gathering:  We create a detailed profile of your subject using professional databases and public records, including address histories, phone numbers, court filings, and employment data. We then identify various contact routes, digital and physical, prioritizing them by success likelihood, safety, and legal considerations. This phase often reveals leads that traditional searches miss.


3) Field Verification & Confirmation:  Our investigative team conducts discreet visits, neighborhood canvasses, and employer checks (where legal) to confirm a person’s presence. We avoid aggressive tactics, illegal surveillance, or any approach that could jeopardize your case. Our decisions prioritize safety, legal compliance, and information accuracy. We prefer to take extra time to ensure reliability over rushing for quick, questionable results.


4) Court-Ready Reporting & Documentation:  You'll receive clear, organized reports that detail dates, times, sources, and verification methods. We may include photographic or video evidence of the subject or location to eliminate doubt. If needed, we can provide expert witness testimony for service of process, custody actions, civil claims, or other relevant legal proceedings.


This approach reflects our core commitments: providing free consultations to assess your case, building trust through transparency, minimizing risks to your interests, ensuring all gathered information is legally useful, and utilizing local expertise from our San Antonio private investigator team.
