When Someone Disappears, Every Detail Matters.

We investigate cases involving adults who have disappeared, unexpectedly stopped communicating, or cannot be located through conventional means.

• Locating missing adult sons, daughters, parents, siblings, and other relatives.
• Investigating unexplained disappearances.
• Reconstructing the individual's last known movements.
• Identifying possible current residences and locations.
• Researching associates, relatives, and former acquaintances.
• Examining relevant address, employment, and public-record histories.
• Conducting interviews with potential witnesses.
• Developing and following new investigative leads.
• Conducting lawful surveillance and field inquiries when appropriate.
• Coordinating relevant information with law enforcement when authorized or warranted.

Every investigation is tailored to the circumstances, the available evidence, and the legitimate purpose of the search.

Cases involving missing children, endangered individuals, or vulnerable adults require particular care and urgency. Katz Investigations may assist families and their attorneys with supplemental investigative research and lead development, where legally appropriate.

• Reviewing known circumstances and researching relevant connections.
• Interviewing witnesses and examining available records.
• Organizing information that may assist law enforcement.

We do not replace law enforcement, and we do not undertake unauthorized child recovery operations. Cases involving missing minors, immediate danger, or suspected criminal conduct must be reported to the appropriate authorities.

Not every missing person has disappeared under suspicious circumstances. Sometimes families lose contact because of relocation, divorce, adoption, family disagreements, name changes, or simply the passage of time.

• Locating estranged parents or adult children.
• Finding siblings separated for many years.
• Searching for birth relatives and biological family connections.
• Locating family members after decades without contact.
• Researching former names, marriages, and address histories.
• Finding relatives who moved to another state.
• Locating individuals whose last known information is many years old.

When a person is located, we respect that person's legal rights and privacy. Where appropriate, we can facilitate a request for voluntary contact without disclosing a private residential address.

Some disappearances involve conflicting statements, unexplained behavior, questionable relationships, or circumstances that suggest further investigation may be necessary.

• Developing a detailed chronology of events.
• Identifying the last independently confirmed sighting.
• Reviewing inconsistencies in statements.
• Interviewing witnesses and other potential sources.
• Researching relevant relationships and associations.
• Examining lawfully available records and digital information.
• Identifying potential surveillance footage and witnesses.
• Documenting new information for appropriate authorities.

Our role is to gather facts objectively, not to presume that a crime occurred.

Some missing persons cases remain unresolved for months, years, or even decades. Katz Investigations can independently review older cases to identify investigative opportunities that may have been overlooked or were previously unavailable.

• Original timelines and prior investigative findings.
• Historical addresses and former associates.
• Public records created after the disappearance.
• Changes in names, residences, or business affiliations.
• Previously unidentified witnesses.
• Relevant court, property, and administrative records.
• New information developed through contemporary investigative research.

We cannot guarantee that an older case will be solved, but we can evaluate whether additional investigative avenues remain available.

An elderly individual who suddenly becomes unreachable may present an especially serious concern. Families may be worried about declining health, isolation, exploitation, hospitalization, or a sudden change in living circumstances.

• Researching last known residences.
• Identifying potentially relevant relatives or caregivers.
• Conducting appropriate in-person location inquiries.
• Checking available public information.
• Developing information regarding possible relocation.
• Assisting authorized family members and attorneys with appropriate inquiries.
• Recommending law enforcement or adult protective services involvement when necessary.

We approach these cases with discretion, sensitivity, and respect for the individual's autonomy.

Attorneys, businesses, estate representatives, and private clients frequently need to locate individuals who have moved, disappeared from public view, or left little current contact information.

• Locating missing heirs and estate beneficiaries.
• Finding witnesses needed for litigation.
• Locating individuals for legitimate legal proceedings.
• Identifying current or recent addresses.
• Researching former addresses and known associates.
• Identifying relevant business and professional affiliations.
• Conducting nationwide skip-tracing investigations.
• Verifying investigative leads through independent research and fieldwork.

For particularly difficult cases, multiple investigative methods may be combined to improve the reliability of the findings.
