Every case starts with a confidential consultation, either over phone, WhatsApp, or in person at our Connaught Place office. During this conversation, we gather as much detail as possible: the missing person’s habits, routines, known contacts, financial situation, last known location, and the circumstances surrounding their disappearance.

Based on this information, our team designs a customised search strategy that may include:

• Ground search and surveillance in areas the person is known to frequent — their neighbourhood, workplace, favourite locations, or the homes of close contacts.
• Tracing known associates — friends, relatives, colleagues, or acquaintances who may have information, even if they’re initially reluctant to share it.
• Digital and open-source research to track recent online activity, communication patterns, or digital footprints that might reveal a current location.
• Financial and transactional tracing, particularly relevant in absconder cases where recent bank activity, property transactions, or travel bookings can indicate movement.
• Coordination with local authorities, where appropriate and with your consent, to align private efforts with any ongoing police investigation.

For elopement or family-dispute cases, we take a more sensitive, low-key approach. The goal here is often reconciliation, reassurance, or simply confirming the person’s safety — not confrontation. Pushing too hard or too publicly can sometimes make the missing person retreat further, so discretion is key.

For absconder cases involving fraud or criminal activity, our investigators focus more heavily on financial and digital footprints, since these individuals are actively trying to avoid detection and are less likely to be found through conventional means alone.

Throughout the case, you receive regular updates — including photographs, videos, or location details as they become available — so you always know where things stand without being directly exposed to the investigation itself.

Signs a Loved One May Be at Risk

While every situation is different, families sometimes notice warning signs before someone goes missing. Being aware of these can help you act faster if needed:

• Sudden withdrawal from family or friends without explanation
• Unusual financial activity, such as large withdrawals or asset transfers
• Talk of “starting over” or leaving the city or country
• Increased secrecy around phone use, travel plans, or new contacts
• A history of running away or disappearing during stressful periods

If you notice these signs and a disappearance follows, sharing this context with your investigator early can significantly narrow down the search.
