Services
Person Locates

If you’re looking for a missing persons investigator, look no further than Trace Investigations. We can help you locate anyone, whether they’re a witness needed for trial, a debtor trying to avoid getting legal papers, or a family member who was kidnapped.
We can use surveillance, interviews, record gathering, OSINT/web-based research, and other strategies to figure out where a person spends their time and where they may be found.
If there is no law enforcement/court involvement, and you’re an individual who just wants to reconnect with their long-lost love, military buddy, etc., we can help you too, but we won’t be able to share confidential information like your person’s phone number or address without their permission. We will find your person and give them an opportunity to reach out to you if they want to connect. We hope they will!

Background Checks
If you’re looking for background check services, Trace Investigations can help!
Whether you’re a mom looking to hire a new nanny or an attorney wondering if you have a credible witness, we can provide you with a background report that helps to shed light on who you’re dealing with.
Background reports can include information about education and job history, criminal history, social media activity, and even a person’s habits and character. We will work with you to get whatever information you need to make an informed decision.

Please note that we do not offer background checks on potential tenants or employees.

Child Abuse / Custody

If you’re looking for a child custody investigator, we can help!
Child abuse and neglect investigations are one of our main areas of focus, as our owner has a background in child welfare and a passion for making sure children are safe and loved by the people who are supposed to be protecting them.
Maybe you’re worried that your child’s father is driving drunk with her every weekend. Maybe your son keeps coming home with bruises, and DSS never conducts a thorough investigation. Maybe you just want a well child check for your grandchild who is being withheld from you.
Don’t waste any time when a child’s safety is at stake. Call us today!
Please note that North Carolina law requires everyone, including us, to report any suspected child abuse or neglect to Child Protective Services.
Infidelity
Is your gut telling you that your partner might be cheating on you? Unfortunately, if you’re feeling this way, you’re probably on to something.
GPS tracking devices, covert cameras, and other technologies help us to discreetly catch a cheating spouse so that you can confront them or move on with your life. We have a high rate of success in obtaining answers/footage, and we handle each case with creativity and care.
You deserve to know the truth. We can help you find it. And we’ll be a shoulder for you to cry on, too.

Alimony / Cohabitation

Did you know that in North Carolina, you can get your alimony payments reduced or eliminated when circumstances change?
Maybe your ex got a new job and isn’t reporting the income, or they’re living (cohabitating) with a new partner.
Don’t pay your ex’s bills if you don’t have to! We can use GPS trackers, covert cameras, surveillance, interviews, record gathering, and other strategies to help you build your case and get your payments reduced.

We can use multiple vehicles, cameras with long-distance lenses, GPS trackers, covert cameras (cameras disguised as something else, like a pen or phone case), disguises, Internet activity tracking, and other tools to get the evidence you need to prove your case.
We put date/time and geolocation data on photos and videos so that you have proof of what was happening at a particular place and time. And we’ll happily testify in court as well.

We do all types of private investigation services. If we can get the information you need legally and ethically, and we’re qualified to do so, we’ll do our best to help you. And if we’re not the best fit for the job, we’ll help you find someone who is.
