It is imperative not to delay in hiring an expert team to begin an investigation into a missing person. Being a missing person is not a crime and law enforcement plays a limited role in investigating these cases because as a general rule an adult person has a right to be left alone. A person must be missing for 24 hours unless there is clear evidence of foul place before law enforcement will accept them as a missing person’s case and begin an investigation. The search for a missing person by law enforcement has limited consideration before having to move on to other cases. This leaves a family in despair.

 

If an adult, competent missing person is found by law enforcement they will notify them that they were reported missing.  If the subject does not consent to their whereabouts being disclosed, law enforcement will not disclose it.  They will only report to the person who filed the report that the subject of the missing person’s report has been located.  This is not the case when hiring the expert team, Prodigy Investigative Group.  We are not held under any restrictions in disclosing the location of a subject who has been reported missing.

 

People go missing for a number of reasons. They may be a runaway, have fallen into an impaired drug or alcohol state or missing by accidental means.  They could be a victim of violence by someone they know or a stranger.  They may be a victim of a serial abductor matching characteristics of others that have gone missing. They could be a victim of human trafficking.

When investigating human trafficking cases, Prodigy Investigative Group has a team of seasoned experts who know the patterns and trends of traffickers. These investigations should never be left to amateurs as they are extremely dangerous.  We work with the FBI and law enforcement as we investigate and gain leads.
