Since 2017, Stoughton, MA investigator Brendan McCabe has led operations at McCabe & Associates. Guiding the investigative and security solutions firm, Stoughton, MA resident Brendan McCabe oversees criminal and civil investigation operations like finding missing witnesses.
Missing witnesses can reduce a case’s chances of success. However, with the help of an experienced investigator, it is often possible to locate such witnesses. The first place to start your search is in public records. Armed with information such as the witness’ name, you can search through public databases for addresses and utilities records associated with the name. If you have an idea of the specific geographic location where the witness is likely based, you can use that to filter through public records suggestions. Real estate title records can also prove invaluable in your search, provided the person owns real estate.
If the witness has a common name, this will present a challenge in the form of numerous false positives. In that case, make use of online platforms like social media and blogs. These platforms give more information than public records (photographs, videos, residences, workplaces, and even self-disclosed associates). This information makes identification easier.
If you have no luck with online sources, consider court records. If the person was involved in a criminal or civil case before, court records will include his or her date of birth. This will help you calculate his or her age and using that, you can narrow down a list of potential candidates. You can also use a birth date to filter through public records searches.
