Missing Persons

Every Hour Counts. We Don't Stop Until We Find Answers.

A missing person is not a statistic. They are someone's child, parent, spouse, or friend — and the urgency of finding them cannot be overstated. CSI's missing persons investigators bring the full force of professional law enforcement methodology, specialized training, and modern investigative tools to every case we take.

Missing person investigators are licensed private investigators or sworn law enforcement officers who use standard police methods and specialized training to search for and locate people who have disappeared. Investigators use digital and physical surveillance techniques, specialized database software, and interpersonal skills to solve cases.

FAQ

Common Questions About Missing Persons

If someone you know is missing, contact us immediately. Time is the most critical factor in these cases.

Call Now

Should I contact law enforcement AND a private investigator?

Yes — and ideally simultaneously. Law enforcement has legal authority CSI does not, but CSI can work faster, more focused, and alongside law enforcement. Our investigators are experienced at coordinating with local, state, and federal authorities without interfering with official investigations.

What information do I need to provide to start an investigation?

The more information you can provide, the better — including photos, last known location and time, contacts, vehicle information, social media profiles, and any recent behavioral changes. CSI will conduct an initial consultation to gather everything needed to begin the search immediately.

Does CSI investigate cases involving children?

Yes. CSI handles cases involving runaway or missing minors with the highest urgency. We work in coordination with law enforcement and child welfare authorities, and our investigators are trained in the specific challenges of locating missing children.

What if the person chose to disappear voluntarily?

CSI investigates all missing persons cases without assumption. Whether the disappearance is voluntary or involuntary, our job is to locate the individual and report our findings to the client. What happens next is determined by the circumstances and the wishes of the parties involved.

How quickly can CSI begin a missing persons investigation?

CSI can begin a missing persons investigation immediately following an initial consultation. For emergency situations, call our 24/7 hotline and we will mobilize resources as quickly as possible. Time is the most critical factor in these cases — don't delay.
