Private Investigator
Houston Infidelity Investigator
Getting Started: There
are a few things you should know before you
hire a private investigator to investigate your significant other.
Whether we
are investigating a spouse, or a significant other, the investigation
will be
handled in largely the same manner. For the purpose of this article,
whether it
is a boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, or wife, we will refer to your
significant
other as your spouse. Each case is different, but most clients come to
us with
little more than suspicions. Some have more information than others,
but they
need the proof. The smoking gun, so to speak. That is where we come in.
As
investigators it is our job to meet with you and discuss your
suspicions and
your spouse’s behavior. We can then make a reasonable recommendation to
you
about how to proceed. There may be some initial background work that
needs to
be done, such as running license plates, tracing phone numbers, and
identifying
coworkers or suspects. Eventually, almost all infidelity investigations
require
surveillance. The background work can initially be done to verify
suspicions
and identify the suspects; but in the end surveillance is usually
needed to catch a cheating spouse.
Surveillance: Surveillance is most
commonly conducted during the
lunch hour, in the evenings, or on weekends. Occasionally meetings will
occur
in the morning before business hours, but it is rare. We will follow
your
spouse and monitor his or her activity. We will obtain video of the
places your
spouse goes, and the people they meet. If your spouse meets with a
potential
paramour we will follow them and document all activity. The goal in
virtually
every domestic surveillance is to determine whether your spouse is
engaging in
inappropriate physical behavior with another. During surveillance we
are most
concerned with identifying and documenting any public display of
affection
between your spouse and another paramour. Most couples that are
intimate will
display public affection, such as embracing or kissing when they feel
that no
one is watching. Many will take it a step further and rendezvous at a
hotel,
motel, or they may meet at the other paramour’s home. Frequently
inappropriate
activity occurs in vehicles due to the restrictions imposed by the
secretive
nature of the relationship.
Bars & Restaurants: If we
feel that the spouse is engaging in
inappropriate behavior in bars and restaurants, we can follow them in
and
monitor their activity inside the establishment. Our goal is
always to maintain the discretion and integrity of the investigation.
As the
client you must be prepared to defer to the investigator’s judgment
about
covert video and photography in such establishments. In some case we
will be able to
discretely obtain video or pictures inside bars or restaurants, but
there are
no guarantees.
Technology & the Internet: With
the advent of cellular phones
and the internet it is much easier for an unfaithful spouse to stray
outside
the marriage or relationship. Many modern adulterous affairs have an
internet
aspect to them. Spouses frequently have secretive email accounts, or
internet
dating site accounts, which they maintain at work, or hide from their
spouse at
home. Chat programs like MSN and Yahoo can start innocently enough, but
can
easily lead to flirting and eventually to meetings. Almost all modern
affairs
are facilitated by the everyday use of cellphones. In a wired society
it is
simply easier for spouses to stray and easier for them to get away with
it. With
cellphones meetings can be arranged spontaneously with little or no
planning,
and with virtually no interference from the committed spouse.
Long
Range
Surveillance:
Long range surveillance requires special skills and equipment. Long
range
surveillance is frequently required when conducting infidelity
investigations.
We have a broad array of digital and optical equipment, which allows us
to
obtain the highest quality video and still evidence in the industry. In
optimal
environments we are able to positively identify subjects as far away as
750
yards, and can document license plates as far away as 200 yards.
Prepare Yourself: Often, you must
be prepared to assess the
evidence gathered and make your own decision about your spouse’s
fidelity. We
have had cases where the spouse was careful not to show public
affection, but
our investigator photographed the spouse and a paramour entering and
exiting a
hotel room. Yet still the spouse was able to persuade the
client that
the meeting was “a business meeting”. Some adulterous spouses are very
careful
not to show public affection, and can be very persuasive and very
manipulating
once confronted. They will try to turn the tables and claim that you
have
invaded their privacy. The right to privacy ends when a purportedly
monogamous
spouse crosses the line into an adulterous relationship. As the client
you have
a responsibility to yourself to intelligently and objectively weigh the
evidence and draw your own conclusions.
Confidentiality: We serve a wide range of clients
and
are here to meet all their investigative needs. We do not pick and
choose our
cases based upon whether those needs are of a business or personal
nature. If
you are concerned about the fidelity or well being of a loved one, we
are
prepared to meet your investigative needs. Whether you are an existing
client
or a new client, rest assured that your personal business will remain
strictly
confidential. We have nearly three decades of experience providing
surveillance
and confidential investigative services to private individuals.
GPS Vehicle Tracking: When legal, we can utilize GPS
vehicle tracking
devices to aid in the surveillance effort. We are able to
surreptitiously track
vehicles for a period of 5-7 days without interruption. If you are the
legal owner of the vehicle, we can use GPS vehicle tracking to help you
catch a cheating spouse.
