Using This New Search Tool to Perform High-Tech Manhunts
The people search engine is an incredible tool that lets you locate people from your past. Even if all you have if their name, this new search engine can help you narrow down the trail and find the people you want to make contact with. The most exciting use of this new high-powered search engine is the hunt for people who owe money, or are in violation of court orders and/or have jumped bail. Needless to say, the more information you have about the target, the easier it will be to narrow down the possibilities and locate the person. If you have a general idea about which state the subject is now residing in that can reduce the amount of time required to locate them.
Everything in your file can be a possible lead: name, address, phone number, relatives, references, email address, job information. Run a search or reverse search (like in this article GovRegistry.us.com Offers Background Checks and People Searches for U.S. Entities) on each piece of known data, no matter how old you think it is. This is the same high-powered tool that investigators and bill collectors use. Tracking down deadbeat dads, or performing a skip trace to locate deadbeat customers is pretty much the same process. Usually the investigator will start out with “cold information”. This means that the trail is cold and the information on hand may be from several years ago.
Using the last known information is a great starting point and after conducting a series of searches and reverse searches it is possible to define a few possible locations where the target individual may be staying. Leads should be cross-checked with any known information, especially contacts, family members, or friends. Sometimes the search will return old information, disconnected phone numbers, former addresses, etc. Each of these should be noted and a placed in a file. Run additional searches to determine if the phone number goes to a cell or landline.
These bits of information should be cross-checked against available directories online and offline. Every good search will start with a file and end with a bigger file. If the initial search effort is not successful, those bits will serve as starting points for a renewed effort. Cross-reference public records, social media sites and any forums you suspect the target might be involved with. When conducting a manhunt people search, it is critical that you take care not to alert the target or anyone close to them who may advise him of your efforts. The reward of a perfectly executed search will be showing up and seeing the shock on the face of the person who thought they were getting away.
