Once you have that information, all the investigator needs to do is turn the telephone number into an address. The investigator needs to know each and every country court house and city record he can search by hand to help locate a missing person and know exactly how to access that information the quickest way. Orange County Florida just put many of this record indexes online. Nine times out of ten, you will find an address or at the very least further leads by performing searches at the county courthouse. Civil and criminal records, small claims, voter registration, vehicle registration, boat registration, business DBA, probate, real property, tax rolls, marriage, UCC, these are all records that can be checked for address information and leads at the court courthouse.
State records are another vital area of information gathering.
The federal government keeps address information on all airplane pilots. Records are found with name and address information for any person owning a boat over 35 feet. Federal courthouse records can be a goldmine. Locator services for military personal and people in federal prison are sometimes helpful. It's the investigator's job to know where to look in federal records just like you do in local records.
