Missing Adults handled by a licensed private detective agency

When an adult goes missing without evidence of a crime, law enforcement's hands are often tied and the family is left with a report number. Missing adult casework by a private detective agency treats the disappearance as the emergency it is: reconstructing the last days from phone, financial and digital activity the family can access, interviewing associates and canvassing the last known locations, working shelters, hospitals and jails, tracing vehicles and travel, and searching records for any sign of the person establishing a new life or falling into a crisis.

Pinnacle works these cases across Tennessee for families and attorneys, coordinates with law enforcement when they are engaged, and handles the delicate situation of a person who has been found and does not want to be contacted.

When to call a private eye

Situations missing adults casework is built for

If one of these sounds familiar, a confidential conversation costs nothing and usually clarifies the next step.

  • A family member who stopped responding and missed obligations
  • A disappearance following a crisis, a relationship change or a job loss
  • Signs of a mental health or substance emergency
  • A vehicle, phone or accounts that have gone quiet
  • Police who have taken a report but cannot act
  • A found person who may not want to come home
