Missing Person's Investigations

Just a quick note, if you are thinking of trying to locate a missing loved one or friend, please do not inform their families you are hiring us or anyone else to locate them, especially right before Christmas.  Yesterday, it took me about an hour to locate a missing mother; however, she was deceased.  I had explained to the client that is a real possibility.  The mother had passed away under suspicious circumstances in TX.  That is not good news to share with her family anytime.  She had been reported missing in 2003.  What I have not researched is why law enforcement and/or medical examiner did not notify her family at the time of her death.    www.nwseattledetective.com
