there are many reasons why people \u201cfall off the grid\u201d, so to speak.\u00a0 Some people are avoiding their family, while other are hiding from financial or legal responsibilities.\u00a0 We have experience locating people in these circumstances too!\u00a0 It is also common that people simply fall out of touch and the hands of time work to distance them from people they once knew.\u00a0 It is these types of cases that are such a positive experience for an investigator; being able to reunite old friends, military buddies, college classmates and relatives.<\/p>\n<p>During a somewhat recent case, we were working for a father who was looking to reconnect with his adult daughter.\u00a0 We were provided with all of her personal information and as is normal, began to look into the powerful databases available to us as licensed Professional Investigators.\u00a0 The information we were finding was surprisingly outdated for someone of her age, which we found unusual.\u00a0 Essentially, she did not have any new address hits for a couple of years, which in our work indicates one of a few possibilities.\u00a0 In this case, we identified that his daughter was incarcerated and had recently been released to a half-way home run by the county of her incarceration.\u00a0 After making contact with the county probation office and the half-way house, we were finally able to reach \u201cMs. Missing\u201d and let her know that he father was worried about her and wanted to reconnect.\u00a0 She was thrilled with the prospect of starting a fresh relationship with her father and the two have been in contact many times since our investigation.\u00a0 While not the typical story, the outcome was positive, like most of our locate investigations on old friends.<\/p>\n<p>If you are curious about how much information you would need to get an investigation like this started or wonder if it is possible to find \u201cso-and-so\u201d from \u201cway back when\u201d, give us a <a href=\"http:\/\/asginvestigations.com\/contact\">call<\/a> and one of our qualified professional investigators can walk you through the information you have, and let you know if there is a good chance we can locate an old friend for you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever thought of how neat it would be to locate an old friend you lost touch with?
