Every year in the United States, hundreds of thousands of people are reported missing. According to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), law enforcement receives over 500,000 missing-person reports annually. At any given time, an estimated 85,000–100,000 active missing-person cases remain open nationwide. These numbers include both adults and minors, and they demonstrate why timely, professional investigation is critical.


Faithful Path Investigations assists attorneys, bail bond agents, bounty hunters, and families with locating missing, evasive, or wanted individuals. 


Whether someone disappeared voluntarily, is avoiding legal obligations, or is a vulnerable minor, we use licensed investigative tools, nationwide databases, and field operations to bring clarity to your case.
