Skip tracing may sound like a technique from a James Bond movie, but it is actually used in real life to locate missing persons, who in most cases don’t want to be found.

Skips can fall into one of these types:

• Accidental or unintentional skips (such as people who miss bill payments or suddenly move residences.)
• Frightened skips (such as people hiding from their creditors.)
• Deliberate skips (such as persons who have engaged in fraud and are evading the law.)

For most of us, Google is usually the first option. And it can be very effective depending on how you search. You can start by finding information based on the person’s name. If they have a profession or business that requires some type of license (e.g., a contractor), it usually surfaces easily with a work address. Then you can start to home in on your search a little bit more from there.

Facebook and other social media can be another option too. Those photos posted on their account that may have been taken with the use of their phones have a GPS stamp on them. This means that by clicking on the photo one can get the details of the location and the surrounding areas.

And then there’s the Private Investigators. They employ extensive resources to search through public records, detective work, and if necessary, private surveillance.
