  • Is believed to be in danger or distress

We prioritize these cases and initiate investigative steps immediately to identify last known movements and current location.

  • Missing adults and vulnerable individuals

  • Individuals avoiding contact or intentionally hiding

  • Missing family members or long-lost contacts

  • Witnesses and persons of interest

Each investigation is tailored to the specific circumstances and urgency of the case.

Our investigations may include:

  • Review of available records and background information

  • Interviews with family members, associates, and witnesses

  • Analysis of phone, digital, and social media activity

  • Timeline reconstruction and last known location verification

  • Database research and field investigation

Professional investigators often rely on specialized databases and investigative techniques to locate individuals more effectively than public searches

Mental Illness

In July 2019 alone Seattle Private Investigator received over two dozen calls from subjects with paranoid schizophrenia, bipolar, and other mental illnesses.  They suffer from severe impaired thoughts, shifts in moods, and disconnect from reality.  There is an undeniable pattern that we receive more and more calls each year and now each month.  Callers are highly educated professors, lawyers, teachers, doctors, Microsoft, and Amazon IT and encompass all socio economic, races, gender, and educational levels.  Also, some only exhibit their illness AFTER we have initiated work or completed the work.  Ultimately, they are incapable of comprehending the facts and reality of their case conclusion. 

What also occurs, are family members from out of state retain our services to locate their loved ones that stopped showing up for work, are now missing and suffer from an undiagnosed mental illness.  This video outlines almost every statement we have heard from callers and clients.  The only example not covered are when a caller indicates they have tin foil on their heads because the CIA installed a microchip in their skull. Other claims are neighbors and unknown mystical strangers have broken into their homes and moved items around.  Another recent caller indicated his dog spoke to him and the CIA injected him with potion 0966, which rendered him invisible.  Another caller who was accused of workman’s comp fraud said the government had attached several wizards to his body.  What makes matters worse, is the above non clients and clients will go on Yelp and post a bizarre baseless review.  The above just covers telephone calls.  We receive over two dozen emails a month as well with same content.  The last manifesto email indicated it was from John F. Kennedy and he was trying to find Marilyn Monroe because she owed him money.  They email subject was: “HELP ME.” One time, we met with a potential client of very high net worth in a Starbucks, they clearly were in mental distress, under the influence, and pulled a gun out, and slammed it on the table.

Another issue is when these people falsely accuse a partner, spouse, stranger on a bus or sidewalk, or friend of a crime, which leads to the person being falsely arrested and charged with a crime.  The police and prosecutor’s office do not perform any vetting of the “victim.”  This is a disservice to the taxpayers and criminal justice system.  Some of these people have ulterior motives coupled with mental illness which is blatant; however, is ignored. Don’t think this cannot happen to you either. That’s what several of our defense case clients later told us that were victims of this and suffered substantial financial loss, psychological suffering and loss personal time on a lie from someone that can cry on cue and will deliberately injure themselves to cause bruising. The innocent now has a permanent arrest record, which has to be disclosed to all future employers, is embarrassing and humiliating.
