Missing Persons & Emergency Locates
Whether you are looking for a missing person you lost contact with, has moved, or a person that is purposefully hiding, due to legal trouble, creditors, child support, etc... we can assist you in making a diligent search for them. Missing persons and/or emergency locates are also a specialty of ours. We follow modern day law enforcement techniques, training, and policies to locate missing persons or conduct emergency locates. We know first hand that law enforcement agencies will take your missing person report and that is the end of it. We know of numerous tragic endings of such cases because of over-time issues and internal politics that prevent dedicated public servants from taking immediate action in looking for missing persons.
Emergency locates are those people that leave for work or school and do not make it to work or school. There whereabouts are unknown and presumed in danger. We quickly respond to locations while obtaining details enroot. We physically trace a persons steps after the departed their last location known by witnesses.

Mental Illness
Starting approximately in July 2019 and continuing to the present, Seattle Private Investigator has been receiving dozens calls from individuals with paranoid schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other mental illnesses. These individuals suffer from severe impaired thoughts, shifts in moods, and a disconnect from reality. There is an undeniable pattern indicating that we receive an increasing number of calls each year and now each month. The callers include highly educated professionals such as professors, lawyers, teachers, doctors, as well as individuals working for Microsoft and Amazon in IT. This demographic encompasses individuals from all socioeconomic backgrounds, races, genders, and educational levels.
Additionally, some individuals only exhibit signs of their illness after we have initiated or completed our work. Ultimately, they are incapable of comprehending the facts and reality of their case conclusion.
What also occurs is that family members from out of state retain our services to locate their loved ones who 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 is when a caller indicates they have tin foil on their heads because the CIA installed a microchip in their skull. Other claims include neighbors and unknown mystical strangers breaking into their homes and moving items around. Another recent caller indicated his dog spoke to him, and the CIA injected him with potion 0966, rendering him invisible. Another caller, accused of workman’s comp fraud, said the government had attached several wizards to his body.
What makes matters worse is that both non-clients and clients, mentioned above, will go on Yelp and post bizarre, baseless reviews. The above only covers telephone calls; we receive over two dozen emails a month with the 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. The email subject was: “HELP ME.” One time, we met with a potential client of very high net worth in a Starbucks; they were clearly in mental distress, under the influence, and pulled out a gun, slamming it on the table.
Another issue arises when these individuals falsely accuse a partner, spouse, stranger on a bus or sidewalk, or friend of a crime, leading to the person being falsely arrested and charged. The police and prosecutor’s office do not perform any vetting of the “victim.” This is a disservice to the taxpayers and the criminal justice system. Some of these people have ulterior motives coupled with mental illness, which is blatant; however, it is ignored. Don’t think this cannot happen to you either. Several of our defense case clients later told us that they were victims of this and suffered substantial financial loss, psychological suffering, and loss of personal time due to a lie from someone who can cry on cue and will deliberately injure themselves to cause bruising. The innocent now have a permanent arrest record, which has to be disclosed to all future employers, is embarrassing, and humiliating.
