Missing Persons Investigations
How do you locate a person—a family member, friend, business associate, or debtor—who has gone missing?
When traditional methods fail, the most effective course of action is to engage a licensed private investigator with experience in missing persons investigations and skip tracing.
The Global Intelligence Bureau conducts professional missing persons and skip trace investigations for clients throughout New York, New Jersey, and Florida, as well as nationwide and internationally. With over 20 years of investigative experience, we have successfully located missing individuals from all walks of life—often in circumstances where others believed the person could not be found.
While law enforcement agencies do investigate missing persons reports, they often lack the resources to fully pursue every case. In addition, only a small percentage of missing adult cases meet the criteria required for sustained police or federal involvement. Unless there are indicators such as immediate danger, medical vulnerability, or criminal circumstances, many missing adult cases receive limited attention, leaving families and associates with few options.
This is where a private investigator becomes essential.
A licensed private investigator has the time, tools, experience, and professional networks necessary to locate individuals who have intentionally or unintentionally disappeared. Contrary to popular belief, most people do not vanish without a trace. With patience, persistence, and methodical investigation, the majority of missing persons can be located—often more quickly than expected.
Effective missing persons investigations require more than basic fact gathering. They demand creativity, analytical thinking, and the ability to identify which leads matter most. A missing persons investigator must know which paths to pursue, which assumptions to challenge, and which details—often overlooked—can unlock answers.
Missing Children Investigations
While missing adult cases are common, missing children cases are especially distressing. Statistics consistently show high volumes of reported missing children, many of whom are classified as runaways. Although a significant number eventually return, thousands of children each year remain unaccounted for, even after law enforcement efforts.
When a child goes missing, law enforcement is always notified—but police resources may be divided among many cases. A licensed private investigator works exclusively for you, dedicating time, focus, and investigative resources solely to your child’s safe recovery. Our investigators pursue every lawful avenue to locate missing children, often coordinating with attorneys, families, and other professionals when appropriate.
A Compassionate, Client-Focused Approach
At The Global Intelligence Bureau, we understand the emotional toll that a missing person case places on families and loved ones. Clients who come to us are often doing so as a last resort. These cases require not only investigative skill, but empathy, discretion, and sensitivity.
Our investigators are trained to work closely with clients during emotionally charged situations, providing regular updates, honest assessments, and professional support throughout the investigation. While every case is unique, we approach missing persons investigations with optimism, persistence, and a commitment to uncovering the truth.
