Resolution of a Missing Driver Investigation
Client: Confidential Company
Industry: Logistics and Transportation
Service Provided: Missing Person Investigation
Challenge: A client contacted us early one morning, reporting their driver missing after making a delivery. The vehicle was left unattended during the unloading process, and subsequent attempts to reach the driver, including contact with his daughter, were unsuccessful.
Approach: PI Headquarters immediately took action, recognizing the urgency of locating the missing driver. Our initial steps included visiting the last known location of the driver’s vehicle, interviewing the driver’s daughter, and gathering information from fellow drivers who had seen him earlier that day. Our investigation strategy also involved canvassing the area for surveillance cameras or eyewitnesses that could provide leads.
Execution: Our thorough search for evidence led to the discovery that an ambulance had attended to an unconscious male nearby, around noon. Further canvassing identified a business with a surveillance camera facing the intersection where the incident occurred. The footage revealed the driver being struck by a truck, which then fled the scene. Notably, the video captured the truck’s name, allowing us to trace it back to the respective trucking company. Through collaboration with the company, equipped with GPS tracking on their fleet, we pinpointed the truck’s route and the driver involved at the time of the accident.
Outcome: With the critical evidence obtained from the surveillance footage, we engaged the local police, facilitating the creation of a detailed report by the driver’s daughter, which ultimately led to the arrest and prosecution of the offending truck driver. Armed with the evidence we provided, the driver’s family pursued and initiated civil action against both the individual driver and the trucking company.
Conclusion: This case exemplifies PI Headquarters’ commitment to utilizing comprehensive investigative techniques and leveraging technology to solve complex cases. Through meticulous investigation and strategic use of surveillance footage, we were not only able to locate the missing driver but also provide the necessary evidence for criminal and civil legal actions, demonstrating our dedication to achieving justice for our clients and their families.
