There are some routine first steps every investigator takes when working a missing person case. Things like interviewing friends, neighbors, coworkers, data base searches and financial searches. Unfortunately most investigators overlook the benefits of a reverse email search investigation when trying to locate someone. In fact a reverse email search investigation can be the quickest, easiest and least expensive method of locating a person as long as you know their email address.

Not every missing person case is alike. In this article we will examine the person that has gone missing because they just want to run off from their responsibilities. This is the person that just leaves everything behind, friends, family , job and just vanishes. We know they are alive and well we just can't contact them. No phone number and no mail forwarding information. It is very unlikely this person will be found with a data base search or by interviewing known past associates. It is also unlikely that this type of missing person will be located through the use of an asset search investigation. Which, by the way, is another overlooked avenue of investigation when trying to locate a missing person. One that we will address in a future article in this series of missing persons articles.

Many times this person will not think to cancel an old email address or create a new email address. They may think their email is untraceable because it is a free anonymous account like Gmail or Hotmail or Yahoo. Even if this missing person goes to the trouble to create a new account they may still occasionally check the old email address to see what's in there. This person does not realize that their location can be revealed just by opening and reading an email. So what the reverse email investigator will do in a case like this is send several emails to the missing person's known email addresses and as the person opens these emails the investigator can track and trace down the location where the emails are being read.

As you can see a reverse email search is an extremely effective method of locating a missing person. One that is almost impossible for the subject to detect if performed correctly. A method that is largely overlooked by the average private investigator that specializes in missing person or hard to locate skip trace investigations.
