Locating people is without doubt the specialty of this agency. Helping people search for and find lost friends and kids gives us great joy. Our regular fee for field investigations is $65.00 per hour. If your case involves a missing person, locating an old friend, runaway teen, abducted child or a case gone cold to locate someone you’ve got our attention and probably fit the helping people search profile.

We’ll conduct an investigation to search for your loved one at the rate of $65.00 per hour plus expenses and thirty cents per mile for gasoline. We’ll not only employ the search techniques developed from years of experience but we’ll also search the places and interview the people you think should’ve been checked before. We require a retainer in the amount of $1000.00 to be paid in advance of the investigation.

Expenses generally include gasoline at thirty cents per mile, hotel, car rental or airfare if approved by the client in advance. Investigators usually drive to most areas unless other arrangements are requested or agreed to by the client. Throughout the investigation you’ll receive regular updates that may include the locations checked, dates, names of people interviewed and their response, time stamp video, still photos and report.

What can you accomplish by helping people search the places they want checked?
When information is given to the police by family members of the missing person, that information isn’t always regarded as useful. Sometimes regarded as insignificant, the investigating agency conducting the search might ignore good leads and search an area they feel is best. Our experience has been that searching for people in the areas where nobody took the time to look often produces amazing results. Family members know what kind of people the subject is attracted to and the type of places they like to go. It only makes sense for us to search there especially if nobody else did.

What happens if you don’t find the person?
Since there are no magic wands or crystal balls to show us where to search in detective work, there’s no way to predict the outcome of any case. Although we do find over 90 percent, there are cases that go unsolved. If your subject has not been found you’ll at least have each photo, every location we searched, every lead we researched, every interview and our assessment of your case. We’ll tell you what we think should be your next move. You might not know where your missing person is but you’ll certainly know where they’re not.

How are the expenses handled?
Mileage is the most common expense and that’s always a variable. Overnight lodging is the next most common because the Private Investigators sometimes travel great distances from home while researching and investigating the case for you. These possible expenses will be discussed in advance. A credit card is generally used to cover these expenses. The Investigator will pay his or her expenses as required and we’ll reimburse the investigator by charging your credit card. Lodging expenses will be documented with receipts while mileage is documented by the Investigators report. Sometimes paying the Investigators airfare is less expensive than paying travel time and mileage. Under these conditions you can request that our Investigator fly instead of drive. A car rental will be required and lodging expenses will also be charged.
