Skip Tracing

Questions arise when individuals suddenly vanish when they are wanted for a crime, debt collection or another matter. The reasons can be as varied as the people themselves – a missed court appearance, a defaulted payment, a family matter requiring attention or an inheritance waiting to be claimed. In such scenarios, locating the missing person becomes an urgent task. This is where our professional investigators at LIA Security & Investigations step in, using skip tracing to help you track down a specific person. We are ready to put our skills to work for you.

What Is Skip Tracing?

Skip tracing is a technique employed by investigators to locate an individual who has “skipped” out on a legal or financial obligation. However, its application is not limited to these matters alone. Through a meticulous process, our investigators track down the person, leveraging a wealth of resources and a deep understanding of human behavior.

The process of skip tracing involves comprehensive records research, intensive surveillance and thorough background investigation. Our investigators dive into databases, courthouses, libraries, public service locations and even the United States Post Office to gather important documents. These could include marital, court, business and financial records, the validity of which is then verified. Surveillance is another key component of the process. By understanding the individual’s habits, schedules and frequented locations, we gain valuable insights that aid in the search. Lastly, a background investigation provides a deeper understanding of the individual, often involving interviews with family members, friends, and former colleagues and examination of criminal records.

When to Employ Skip Tracing

Skip tracing becomes necessary in various situations. You might need to locate a debtor who has defaulted on payments, find a current address for a family member requiring family court documents (such as child support or divorce), or track down a client who is a defendant in a court case and missed a hearing. Similarly, you might need to locate an individual to inform them about assets or an inheritance. These are just a few instances where skip tracing proves invaluable.

The Legal Importance of Skip Tracing

Skip tracing serves a crucial role on legal grounds. It aids in locating individuals who owe debts or are suspects in a crime. This becomes especially important when the person has missed court appearances or skipped bail. By finding these individuals, skip tracing assists in ensuring that justice is served, debts are paid, and legal obligations are met.
