COMMON
QUESTIONS
What
is the success
rate of locating
a missing loved
one?
Many
of my prospective
clientele want
to know the success
rate of my previous
missing person
cases and findings.
While my success
rate is approximately
85%, this is based
solely on the
organized aggressive
efforts between
my client, family
members and myself.
In addition, for
myself, the personal
accomplishment
is the reunification.
How
long does it take
to investigate
and finalize a
missing persons
case?
While
my caseloads are
high, I am careful
not to manage
so many that I
neglect each of
my clients. The
case usually will
be solved or completed
between 6-8 weeks.
The first time
saving step is
to fill out our
missing persons
form to provide
us with bibliographical
information on
the missing person
in question.

Persons Form.
How
do you determine
if you will take
the case?
Acceptance
of the case
shall be determined
by our initial
telephone conversation
and a short
chronology prepared
by the prospective
client. Cases
will only be
accepted if
the “at
risk” factors
mentioned previously
are involved
in their disappearance.
What
are your travel
parameters?
My
clients' cases
have taken my
investigations
world wide. Before I began receiving recommendations from
The National Center for Missing Adults (NCMA) and The
Committee For Missing Children. All cases are
logistically planned
according to the
city and location.
