If you're having to locate a missing person, then one of the best things you can do for that person and yourself is to hire a private investigator, aside from notifying your local police department. Hiring a private investigator does not mean that you stop doing what you can on your side of the case, nor does it mean you are not supposed to sit back and let others do all the work, but it means that you've also harnessed the power of a detective to locate your missing person. There are a variety of missing persons cases. Some of them involve dead beat parents who do not want to pay child support. Other missing persons cases involve missing kids or missing family members. Hiring a private detective to find a missing child is extremely important. The more time that passes, the harder it will be to locate a missing child. Statistics have proven that children who are located are usually found within the first 2 to 3 days. You can't afford to try to do it by yourself, when time is your enemy. That's when you not only have local law enforcement on the case, but also a private investigator on top of it. Missing persons cases are solved every single day of the year with the help of a private investigator. Here are some key steps in locating a missing persons; 1. Write down any and everything you know about the person. This includes full name, date of birth, physical height, weight, eye color, hair color, and any distinguishing marks such as piercings and tattoos. Also note the last known location of the person, as well as their favorite restaurant, their friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, where they worked, allergies and medical conditions and so forth. Don't leave anything out. What may seem insignificant to you could actually be the key to break the whole case. 2. Next, contact your police or law enforcement agency. They will also ask you a series of questions to help them locate the missing person. 3. While you have police investigating, hire a private detective. A private detective's priority is a little different than police investigators. Police investigators have lots of cases to work at one time. You are just one of many, many cases that hits their desk in a given day. A private investigator has you as their priority. He or she wants to get the case solved for you, because his or her reputation is on the line. 4. Go over your list of information about the person more than once. After you think you've exhausted every piece of information, go back over your list. You'll discover that there is probably more information that comes to mind about the person. These are just a few steps to locating a missing person. Remember, time is not on your side, so you have to be able to pull together a systematic strategy find your missing person as quickly as possible. ...read more

"I think he ( or she ) is cheating on me. What should I do?" If you suspect infidelity in your marriage or relationship, don't panic. Follow the steps below.1. Get a journal and write down everythingthat makes you suspect your spouse of cheating, no matter how trivial it seems. You need to see this on paper to determine whether or not you have valid cause for concern. Don't discount gut feelings. Research over the years indicates that what most people consider to be, intuition, a hunch or a gut feeling is actually their subconscious mind picking up subtle signs of infidelity. There are many infidelity studies bear that out. In one infidelity study, 85% of the women who suspected their mate of cheating turned out to be right. But you need proof before you can confront your mate. 2. Discreetly search for signs of infidelity.At this stage, you don't need a private investigator or fancy surveillance equipment. All you need are your own eyes and ears and your personal knowledge of your mate. Knowing what to look for is the key.3. Document the signs you find in a journal over the next couple of weeks. Actually, once you know what to look for, it won't even take that long. As objectively as possible, carefully review everything you've written down in the journal, looking for patterns of behavior, discrepancies in stories, suspicious behavior or occurrences that match certain dates. Upon careful examination, you may find that certain signs of infidelity always appear in conjunction with each other. For example, you may notice that your husband's cell phone malfunctions only on the nights he works late. Or that your wife always wears her sexiest lingerie when she goes to visit a sick friend and that when she returns home she heads straight for the shower. What if your partner sometimes walks the for dog 2 hours instead the usual 20 minutes? On closer examination, you may find that this happens only on a Monday night. The movie date on the ticket stubs found in your partner's pocket or purse may correspond with the date of the Saturday your partner had to go into the office to complete a special project. Look for patterns. Document everything you find, so that when you sit down to confront your cheating spouse or significant other about the affair, you have solid proof. Don't be afraid to seek legal or financial advice if you need it. If you decide on a legal course of action, you may now want to hire a private investigator to obtain court-admissible proof. Gather as much information as you need, weigh all the facts, then make your final choice. 4.Confront your cheating spouse.No -- not in a physical or an argumentative way. What you're going to do is carefully choose a time and place, and calmly inform your mate that you know about the affair. Never confront a cheating spouse or significant other without proof, a plan and a purpose. Instead of asking your mate if he or she is cheating, inform your mate that you know about the affair. Back up your statement with selected proof from your journal. But don't tell them everything you know. Then ask the cheater questions that will help you to fill in the blanks, determine their attitude about the affair, and the depth of their feelings for the person they're cheating with. This is the only way you can accurately assess the situation and make an intelligent decision about what to do next. 5. Consider all your options and decide on a course of action.After you confront your cheating spouse – and it may take several discussions to get all the facts you need, take a few days to carefully consider all your options. What is it in your best interests to do? Can you salvage the marriage or relationship with the help of a marriage or relationship counselor experienced in handling infidelity? Or is it a lost cause? Based on your discussion with your partner, does the cheater deserve a second chance? Or should you cut your losses and move on? Unless your spouse is asking for a divorce, don't feel that you have to take action right away. You may need to delay taking action until you put certain legal or financial safeguards in place. That's why you don't want to be the last one to know. Summary of What to Do If you Suspect Infidelity• Discreetly -- and IMMEDIATELY - search for signs of infidelity to either disprove or confirm what you suspect.• If it turns out that you were mistaken, no one will be the wiser, and you will at least have set your mind at ease.• When you have proof of the infidelity, confront the cheater when you're ready, at a time and place of your choosing• After discussing the affair with the cheater, weighing all the facts, and considering all your options, decide on the best course of action to take. ...read more

Most of us have thought of hiring a private investigator at least once in our lives. Perhaps this is why there is such a high demand for private investigation services all over the world. There are various reasons why you may consider hiring a private investigator. Whatever your reason may be, there are several ethical rules, precedents and federal laws that govern the process of using private investigation to uncover some information.

Especially in divorce cases, using private investigation may become very handy as it will allow both the divorce attorney and the plaintiff to prove their case by gathering evidence and presenting evidence to the court related to the divorce case. While a time consuming and often draining process, a professional will take the burden from your shoulders and do the hard work for you.

Losing a loved family member or friend is an awful experience; a reputable private detective understands how to support you through this time by clearly communicating the process involved in locating a missing person.
