Skiptracing is an investigative technique whereby a skiptracer - usually a private investigator, but occasionally a journalist or bounty hunter-traces and locates individuals who have broken, or "skipped" out on debts or societal obligations. Such a service is of immense usefulness to lenders seeking reimbursement, or bondspersons tracking down defendants who have skipped bail. Once a subject is located, one is better able to collect on debts, or ensure that a criminal finds their way back to court.
Skiptracing is not a collections service, but rather intense analytical and investigative work. Collections services are limited both in manpower and scope, and so are unable to do the level of investigative work of a tracer.
Why Not Enlist The Police?
Many people assume that the business of searching for missing people, debtors, fugitives and the like should be left up to law enforcement. This idea appeals to our desire for a fair and orderly world, but it clashes with the harsh realities of our legal system. Unfortunately, modern law enforcement agencies are often terribly backlogged with cases for missing persons, theft, criminal negligence, fraud, and others. In 2010 alone, the FBI reported an astounding 1,400 missing persons cases that they were unable to process due to the lack of resources to tackle them. Furthermore, no law enforcement agency has a vested financial interest driving them to accept any particular case.
Without the resources of the police, one is left to track down a person on their own, or to hire an investigator to the work in their stead.
Can I Do It Myself?
It's possible. The skiptracing process is very time consuming, and it is replete with its own unique pitfalls and consequences. Your chances of success as an amateur skip tracer depend greatly on the effort the target has taken to hide their tracks. There are times when someone leaves town without even thinking of you, and they're just going about their own personal business. In cases like this you might have success looking for relatives, ex-spouses, and previous employers - people that know the target will be able to put you in the right direction.
If a target is evading you, things might get tougher. Conducting surveillance and collecting leads or information on a quarry can occur at any time of day or night. Individuals close to subjects can intentionally mislead or deceive someone performing a trace. Furthermore, many local, state, and federal legal parameters must also be adhered to. In a situation like this, you might need to use professional level tools to trace social security numbers, credit reports and phone numbers - you might even need to get out and hoof it from door to door.
Private investigators are dedicated to this line of work and are very proficient at what they do. Their knowledge of the boundary of law, as well as the investigative skills required to locate persons of interest, are difficult to replicate. They will detect any attempts at subterfuge on the part of potential leads or persons close to the subject and adapt their strategies. Skiptracers will also operate with the utmost discretion, ensuring the subject, or "skip", is not alerted to their being investigated.
