Missing Person Investigation

Background

Our client contacted us after exhausting every avenue to locate a close family member they had lost contact with several years earlier. Despite extensive online searches, social media enquiries and attempts through mutual acquaintances, there had been no trace of the individual.
The client was deeply concerned for their relative’s welfare but wanted the investigation conducted discreetly and lawfully, respecting the individual’s privacy while establishing whether they were safe and alive.


With very limited information available, including an outdated address and an old mobile number, the client instructed Are They Safe Private Investigators to undertake a comprehensive missing person investigation.

Approach

Our investigation began with a detailed review of all historical information provided by the client.


Using a combination of lawful intelligence gathering, specialist databases, open-source intelligence (OSINT), electoral records, property information, public records and digital footprint analysis, our investigators began building a timeline of the individual’s movements over several years.
As new intelligence emerged, we cross-referenced multiple independent data sources to eliminate false leads and identify potential addresses linked to the individual.


Further enquiries confirmed recent activity consistent with the subject’s current location. Additional verification was carried out to ensure the information was accurate before any contact was considered.

 

Throughout the investigation, our team maintained complete confidentiality and complied with all applicable UK legislation and data protection requirements.

Result

Within days, our investigators successfully established the individual’s current whereabouts and confirmed they were safe and well.


After verifying the information, we facilitated a carefully managed approach that respected the wishes and privacy of all parties involved.

 

The client received confirmation of the outcome together with a detailed investigation report outlining the enquiries undertaken and the evidence supporting our findings.
