How We Help Families
Each case is unique. Our investigators bring decades of specialized experience to every investigation.
Kidnappings & Parental Abductions
A missing person investigator should have diverse background, skillsets, and international experience to assist missing person families in times of crisis when abduction or kidnapping occurs.
Our team has worked with Interpol, the FBI, the U.S. State Department, and foreign embassies to locate individuals taken across international borders. We understand the legal complexities of parental abduction cases and work swiftly to bring resolution.
- International abduction expertise
- Coordination with Interpol and embassies
- Legal process navigation assistance
- Rapid deployment capabilities
Missing & Endangered Children (Runaways)
Our team will never consider your child as a runaway. If your family faces the trauma of a missing child but is told they are a runaway, our team considers your child at-risk and endangered -- our highest priority.
Law enforcement may classify your child as a runaway and deprioritize the case. We do not. Every missing child deserves the full force of a professional investigation regardless of circumstances.
- No child dismissed as "just a runaway"
- Every case treated as highest priority
- Street-level investigation capabilities
- Collaboration with missing children organizations
Missing Children & Sex Trafficking
The unfortunate truth is that missing children can become victims of sex trafficking within the first 72 hours of their disappearance. This grim reality demands immediate, expert intervention.
Our investigators understand the networks, warning signs, and investigation techniques needed to intervene in these cases. Time is of the essence, and our team is trained to act decisively.
- 72-hour critical response window
- Trafficking network intelligence
- Coordination with federal agencies
- Victim recovery and support referrals
Missing Adults & Mental Illness
We understand the first 72 hours are critical in resolving cases of missing persons with mental illness. Adults struggling with mental health conditions are among the most vulnerable missing persons.
Our investigators bring compassion alongside expertise, understanding that these cases require sensitivity and urgency in equal measure. We work with mental health professionals and advocacy organizations to ensure the best outcomes.
- 72-hour critical response understanding
- Mental health professional coordination
- Compassionate, non-judgmental approach
- Post-location wellness follow-up
Missing Persons & Elderly Adults
Lauth missing person investigators work with families to build comprehensive and expedient approaches on missing elderly adults within 24 hours of them being reported missing.
Elderly persons with cognitive impairments such as dementia are among the most vulnerable adults who disappear. Approximately 70 percent of dementia patients wander away at least once. With 5.5 million people living with the disease, that represents 3 million people at risk of walking away in any given year.
Missing elderly adults deserve the same attention and investigative vigor as any other case. Silver Alerts and dedicated investigation resources can make the difference between life and death.
- 24-hour rapid response
- Silver Alert coordination
- Dementia and cognitive impairment expertise
- Community awareness campaigns
Unsolved Homicides
When a loved one has gone missing under suspicion of foul play, even the best police departments can struggle with closure of unsolved homicides. Cold cases require fresh eyes, dedicated resources, and innovative approaches.
Our team includes former FBI agents and homicide detectives who bring extensive experience in investigating capital and high-profile cases. We apply advanced investigative techniques and leverage our network of experts to pursue justice.
- Former FBI agents and homicide detectives
- Cold case expertise
- Advanced investigative techniques
