    Melbourne Case Study

    Our Melbourne-based client needed to locate a woman understood to reside in Melbourne. She had a distinctive name which is fortunate in skip-tracing investigations however she had previously been involved in litigation so she was actively endeavouring to avoid detection. Databases did not reveal up-to-date information for the subject female, with the last entry being approximately 7 years old.

    At this stage, it is necessary for an investigator to become creative if he or she is to get anywhere in a challenging case of this type. Our team of private investigators in Melbourne searched for co-residents at the last known address to see whether we could identify any associates of the subject. There were a few listings but it was not clear whether any of the persons had resided there at the same time as the subject. So, we had to research each of those possible associates to try to pick up the trail.

    By carefully examining the database history of one of the possible male associates, our team of private investigators in Melbourne discovered that he had previously lived diagonally across the road from the subject several suburbs away from the last known address. We decided that this would either be an enormous coincidence or, more likely, the two had met at that previous address and become partners. They had then moved to the last known address and had since moved on.

    Further database searches revealed that the subject’s male partner had moved interstate. Fieldwork was conducted which ultimately enabled our team of private investigators in Melbourne to confirm the subject was resident with this male at the listed address. The client’s investigation had been successful.
