How We Help

Specialized Missing Persons Investigations

Our investigators bring diverse backgrounds and international experience to every case type.

Kidnappings & Parental Abductions

A missing person investigator should have diverse background, skillsets, and international experience to assist families in times of crisis when abduction or kidnapping occurs.

Missing & Endangered Children

Our team will never consider your child as a runaway. If your family faces the trauma of a missing child, our team considers your child at-risk, endangered, and highest priority.

Missing Adults & Mental Illness

We understand the first 72 hours are critical in resolving cases of missing persons with mental illness. Our investigators act swiftly with compassion and expertise.

Missing Persons & Elderly Adults

Lauth investigators work with families to build comprehensive and expedient approaches on missing elderly adults within 24 hours of them being reported missing.

Missing Children & Sex Trafficking

The unfortunate truth is missing children can become victims of sex trafficking within the first 72 hours of their disappearance. Time is critical.

Unsolved Homicides

When a loved one has gone missing under suspicion of foul play, even the best police departments can struggle with closure. We bring fresh perspective and dedicated resources.
