Professional Missing Person & Locate Investigations
People can become difficult to locate for many different reasons. A family may have lost contact with a relative, an attorney may need to locate a witness, or a client may need to develop a current address for a legitimate legal or personal purpose.
Exclusive Investigations provides professional missing-person and locate investigations throughout Las Vegas and Southern Nevada.
Our approach begins with research. We review the information already available, develop additional identifiers and evaluate records that may help establish a current address, telephone number, employment lead or other location information.
When records alone are not sufficient, field investigation may be recommended to verify whether the information developed through research is current.
Every locate is different, and no investigator can guarantee that every individual will be located. Our objective is to develop reliable information using lawful investigative methods and clearly explain what the investigation establishes.
Who We May Assist in Locating
Relatives & Family Members
Research may help develop current contact or location information for relatives and family members when the purpose of the investigation is lawful and appropriate.
Witnesses & Former Associates
Attorneys and private clients may need current address or contact information for witnesses, former employees, associates or other individuals relevant to a legal matter.
Hard-to-Locate Individuals
Older addresses, name changes, limited records or frequent moves can make a person more difficult to locate and may require additional research or field verification.
How a Locate Investigation Is Conducted
A locate investigation may involve several different research methods depending on the information available.
Investigative work may include:
- Identity and alias research
- Current and historical address development
- Telephone and email research
- Public-record research
- Available court records
- Business and professional affiliations
- Open-source and social media research
- Known relatives and associates when relevant
- Vehicle information when lawfully accessible
- Field investigation and address verification
- Surveillance when appropriate to the objective
A database result is not automatically proof that someone currently lives at a particular address. Records may be outdated or may reflect a mailing address, relative’s residence or previous location.
When current location is important, additional verification may be appropriate.
Address Development & Field Verification
Research may produce one or more possible current addresses. When simply identifying a possible address is not sufficient, field verification may help determine whether the information appears current.
Depending on the assignment, verification may involve lawful observation of a residence, identifying associated vehicles, documenting observable activity or developing additional information from the surrounding area.
Surveillance may also be appropriate when the objective requires confirmation that a particular individual is associated with a location.
Field verification does not require entering private property or unnecessarily contacting the subject. The investigative approach depends on the location, circumstances and client’s lawful objective.
Witness & Legal Locate Investigations
Exclusive Investigations also assists attorneys and legal professionals who need to locate individuals connected to civil, family or other legal matters.
Assignments may involve:
- Witness location
- Former employees or associates
- Parties to litigation
- Current address development
- Contact-information research
- Address verification
- Background research related to identification
- Field investigation when records require confirmation
When working with an attorney, the investigative objective can be coordinated with counsel so that research and fieldwork remain focused on information relevant to the legal matter.
Information That Can Help a Locate Investigation
Useful starting information may include:
- Full legal name and known aliases
- Approximate or exact date of birth
- Recent photograph
- Last known address
- Previous cities or states of residence
- Known telephone numbers or email addresses
- Employment or occupation information
- Known relatives or associates
- Vehicle information
- Social media accounts
- The date and circumstances of the last known contact
Even incomplete information can sometimes provide a useful starting point. We review what is available before recommending the appropriate level of research.
Professional Locate Work Has Limitations
No professional investigator can guarantee that every person will be located or that every database entry is current.
Some individuals have very limited public records. Others may have changed names, moved frequently or intentionally reduced their public footprint.
The purpose of professional locate research is to develop and evaluate available information, pursue reasonable leads and clearly distinguish confirmed information from possibilities that still require verification.
Private investigation can also supplement a legitimate search but is not a substitute for law enforcement in an emergency or immediate safety situation.
