Who Might Need Missing Person Investigations?

Missing person enquiries may be needed when a loved one, family member, friend or associate suddenly vanishes. Common reasons people utilise our missing person investigations include:


• Tracking down missing beneficiaries, debtors or ex-employees
• Family members searching for a missing relative that has lost contact
• Finding friends or colleagues that have gone missing unexpectedly
• Finding missing parents, siblings or other lost relatives children in parental child abduction cases

Our compassionate investigators based in Derby can pick up the search when police exhaust leads or classify cases inactive or cold. We provide worried families with answers and closure.

How Do Missing Person Investigators Work?

The private detectives at our tracing people service leverage legal methods and advanced tools to trace the missing person’s current whereabouts or piece together their last known movements and interactions. Investigations to find missing people typically involve:
Interviewing the missing person’s relatives, friends, employers and associates to uncover leads on their disappearance
Researching UK databases, public records, social media activity and other sources for clues pointing to the whereabouts, to help us trace missing persons.

• Analysing financial records and transactions that may indicate movements of the missing person
• Conducting surveillance at previously frequented locations across the UK
• Working with various contacts and informants who may have information
• Coordinating with UK authorities and other organisations as needed

Every case is unique. Our private missing person investigators determine the optimal investigation techniques based on the specifics of each disappearance. We leverage global contacts and resources to widen the search and help us trace missing persons as quickly and effectively as possible.
