Missing-person and skip-tracing assignments begin with identity details, last-known information, lawful purpose and any relevant police or legal documentation. CSDA assesses the available leads and reports verified findings while avoiding promises that a person will necessarily be located.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is skip tracing?+
It's the process of locating someone who has intentionally become hard to find — an absconding debtor, estranged relative, or missing witness.
What kinds of missing person cases do you handle?+
Family members who've lost contact, individuals avoiding financial or legal obligations, and missing witnesses relevant to a case.
How do you locate someone?+
Using verified sourcing, public records, and field investigation methods rather than guesswork.
How long does a missing person case take?+
This varies significantly by case — from a few days to several weeks, depending on how much information is available to start with.
What information do you need to begin?+
Any details you have — last known location, contacts, workplace, or documents — help narrow the search considerably.
