The following information is meant to answer many of the questions you might
have before selecting a private investigator to assist you with your missing
persons case.
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 of a mother and daughter or father and son.
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.

Required Missing 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 all over the world. Before I
began receiving recommendations from The National Missing Childrens Organization
(NMCO), I had completed cases that required
extensive overseas investigations. All cases are logistically planned according
to the city and location.
COSTS:
.
What are your rates?
At the initial phone conversation I will typically discuss objectives of the
case and the rates. The rates currently are broken down into two phases of the
missing persons
investigation, in addition to finders fee costs (see below).
PHASE ONE may include the following: review of client information
and current evidence derived from the police and client; the acquisition and
reviewing of personal records of the subject missing person; a missing persons
biographical analysis; telephone interviews and client communication. PHASE ONE
rate is a $500.00 flat fee and the client should present a short chronology of
the subject matter leading up to the disappearance.
PHASE TWO if necessary involves the following: comprehensive field
interviews; media and police relations; missing person flyer distribution; additional analysis
of the case and furtherance of leads that may transpire during the field
investigation of a missing persons case. PHASE TWO, or the field
investigation,
is $650.00 per day (includes labor, meals, rental vehicle) Client
must pre-pay flight arrangements and estimated hotel costs.

on the investigation process.
FINDERS FEE. PAYMENTS ARE REQUIRED IF:
1. The loved one is located.
2. The loved one is located, but deceased.
3. The loved one is does not want communication with the client.
4. The loved one is located because of investigative techniques used by the
investigator for the investigation. For example, flyers, witnesses, informants,
or records accessed or other materials utilized, and these subsequently produced
successes in locating the subject.
