Who Do You Turn Too?

That is a question I've heard many times. Where does a relative of a missing person go to when police have exhausted their resources and the case turns cold?

There are Private Investigators and Missing Person Advocates that you can turn to, but who do you trust? There are those out there are in it for monetary gain, fame and publicity, those are the ones to steer clear of. There are amateur sleuths that are out there that play with these cases as well.  There are a few PI's that I trust with these kind of cases and if you need a recommendation please email me at researchtexas@comcast.net  There are a couple Advocates for the Missing that I know are good as well. Note that Private Investigators cost money, they have expenses. But the ones I know are dedicated to really helping. 

As an ex-crook I have a unique way of gathering information. I can relate to a convict because I've been where they are at. Some will give me info and some wont, I leave it to them. 

I did a total of about twelve years for various crimes since I was seventeen years old. Most of what I was convicted for I deserved, a couple I did not. One crime was a result of an undeleted email that Fox News did a story about and caught a federal agent lying bigtime which in turn got me released two weeks later.

I had two law enforcement agencies ask me for my help with a couple of their cold cases but that didnt go anywhere because they didnt want to pay me a dime. I've not received one donation for the work I have done and its frustrating because I am not rich or well off. Printer ink is friggin expensive. 

I found my calling, it is to work these kinds of things. It is to gather the info and present it to law enforcement. What they do with it is up to them. Cops generally dont like help from the public and like to be the heroes, but when a case goes cold, they lay it on the pile of the unsolved and there it will sit until a new set of eyes can review it.

Still working on a couple things right now that is just a waiting game currently. It's all up to the cops to finish it or look into the details when they have the time and manpower. So I sit patiently, like the families do.
