Legal Eye Investigations, LLC. Maryland’s Trusted Missing Persons Investigators
​
When someone you love disappears, every minute feels like an eternity. Families are left balancing fear, confusion, and the overwhelming pressure to take action. At Legal Eye Investigations, LLC, we step in immediately, providing rapid, professional missing persons investigations for children, endangered adults, runaways, abductions, and unresolved cold cases.
​
We are here to move fast, communicate clearly, and bring structure to a situation that feels out of control.
​
Why Families Hire a Private Investigator
Law enforcement agencies are vital, but they are often overwhelmed with caseloads. Missing adult cases are frequently classified as lower priority, while police must follow rigid procedures that can slow investigations.
A private investigator is different:
​
-
We work only for you and your family.
-
We act immediately, without bureaucratic delays.
-
We apply surveillance, investigative tools, and networks that go beyond a standard police report.
-
We can serve as a liaison with law enforcement, improving communication and ensuring critical leads don’t get overlooked.
​
What Our Investigators Can Do
At Legal Eye Investigations, our team uses proven methods to locate the missing:
​​
-
Surveillance & Tracking – discreetly monitoring persons, vehicles, or places connected to the case.
-
Witness Interviews – asking the right questions of neighbors, friends, co-workers, or anyone tied to the disappearance.
-
Facility Searches – checking shelters, hospitals, jails, and even mortuaries for overlooked records.
-
Digital & Social Media Investigations – reviewing publicly available online activity and contacts.
-
Ground Searches – canvassing neighborhoods, distributing flyers, and searching areas where the person was last seen.
-
Nationwide Networking – partnering with investigators across Maryland and the U.S. for wider coverage.
-
Cold Case Reviews – applying fresh strategies and re-checking overlooked evidence in long-standing cases.
​
The Reality of Missing Persons
-
In 2021, the NCIC recorded 521,705 missing persons reports in the U.S.
-
An estimated 2,300 children are reported missing every single day (Child Find of America).
-
Many cases involve runaways, custodial abductions, or vulnerable adults struggling with mental health or addiction.
Local police departments simply cannot give each case the attention it deserves. That’s where we step in.
​
Common Questions Families Ask
​
Why hire a private investigator if the police are already involved?
Police are reactionary, their priorities depend on available resources and laws, not on your individual case. A private investigator works only for you, explaining each step, pursuing leads without delay, and staying focused until answers are found.
​
What can a private investigator do in the first 24 hours?
We can begin surveillance, interviews, and searches immediately. Unlike law enforcement, we are not bound by the same procedural red tape. That means we can move quickly to prevent wasted time and dead ends.
​
Can private investigators access phones or social media?
We cannot hack phones or break federal law. However, we can legally monitor public social media activity, interview friends or contacts, and encourage families to use parental phone access tools and GPS location services. Prevention and preparation are key.
​
Can investigators help with cold cases?
Yes. Many of our most passionate cases are cold cases. Law enforcement files often gather dust as new crimes take priority. We can re-interview witnesses, revisit leads, and dedicate focused attention to your case, even years later.
​
Do investigators work with attorneys?
Yes. Many skilled attorneys rely on investigators to strengthen their cases. We regularly collaborate with legal teams to ensure evidence is documented properly for court.
​
Can you investigate outside of Maryland?
Yes. Through licensing reciprocity and our investigative network, we handle out-of-state and even international cases. When necessary, we consult with local licensed investigators to ensure evidence is admissible in court.
​
Will you work with police?
We often do, though cooperation varies by jurisdiction. Some agencies welcome assistance, while others resist outside involvement. Regardless, our investigation is independent. Fresh eyes can often reveal what others have missed.
​
If you find a missing child or adult, what happens?
Our priority is always safety and scene integrity. If immediate danger exists, we remove the person from harm and contact medical services. In other cases, we contact the family and local law enforcement to ensure evidence is preserved and your loved one is returned safely.
