Missing Persons
When a loved one goes missing, you will drop everything to help get them back home safely. Private investigators can be an essential tool in a missing person case, especially if significant time has passed. Our team understands how sensitive each of these cases is and how complex each one can be.
St. George Investigations specializes in investigative techniques needed to get the crucial evidence in any case. While not all missing persons cases have a sinister backstory, we know that any information on what happened to a loved one, co-worker, or friend is important. PIs are the best way to get to the bottom of complex cases.
Types Of Missing Persons Cases
Every missing person case is different and unique, but they may fall into one of these categories. Categorizing missing person cases can help tell investigators what techniques to use or where to start looking for someone who has disappeared.
Missing Persons
When someone goes missing while hiking, under mysterious circumstances, or doesn’t return home after a night out, they will be reported as a missing person. Police, detectives, and hired PIs will look with care for signs of where the person may have gone and speak with those who saw them last for further information. The first 48-72 hours are crucial in a missing person case, so don’t hesitate to reach out to law enforcement and private investigators.
Kidnapping And Abductions
Victims of kidnapping and abductions can range in age, but each minute can be crucial in tracking the abductor and the safety of the victim. Modern surveillance and tracking techniques is something that PIs can provide to clients who need this expedited timeline. With every passing hour, victims can be moved farther away and will be harder to find. Our team is dedicated to the safe return of all victims, young or old.
Runaways
When tracking runaways, limiting the flight risk of these individuals is a complicated part of the case. A deep understanding of runaway behavior and technological tracking is essential for a PI during a child or teen runaway case. Our trained professionals know that not all missing people should be deemed as runaways, so our team looks for telltale signs like repeat offenses, recent conflict with family, or mental health conditions that may truly indicate someone meant to flee.
Mental Health Cases
Depression, schizophrenia, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health conditions may confuse or worry in a person. These feelings and others may cause them to break from their normal routine or leave in a hurry without much explanation. Especially if someone is suicidal, hiring a PI to locate them as fast as possible is the best course of action. Clues as to why a person left or what was going through their head when leaving may be hard to find without professional help. PIs can help locate vulnerable people quickly and safely.
