Can Helix Investigations Assist in Finding Individuals?

Can Helix Investigations help you find a person?

At Helix Investigations, we frequently receive inquiries from clients seeking assistance locating individuals. The reasons behind these requests vary widely, ranging from parents looking to reconnect with their children, to individuals seeking to reunite with past acquaintances. Despite their efforts and online searching, many clients cannot locate the desired person, prompting them to turn to us for help.


Leveraging our expertise in open-source intelligence gathering, Helix often succeeds in finding these individuals. However, it is crucial to emphasise that our approach prioritises the privacy rights of the individuals being sought. We refrain from providing clients with the address information of the person sought without obtaining consent from the subject of the search. This ethical practice ensures that the privacy and autonomy of the person being sought are respected.


In cases where there is a legitimate need to share address information with the client, such as when a debt is owed to them, we adhere to the exceptions outlined in the Privacy Act. Specifically, we operate within the parameters of Principle 11(e(iv), which permits the disclosure of information "for the conduct of proceedings before any court or tribunal."


It is not uncommon for individuals who wish to remain elusive to take measures to minimise their digital footprint. However, our intelligence analysts are adept at navigating these challenges, using advanced open-source research techniques. While individuals may attempt to evade detection, our expertise ensures that they cannot entirely escape our reach.


Moreover, in family-related searches, we recognise that knowing a loved one is safe and well can bring immense relief to our clients. Additionally, seeking our assistance demonstrates the family member’s concerns, reassuring the sought-after individual. We can also facilitate communication by passing messages or letters to the located individual if asked to.


For those seeking assistance locating someone, we encourage contacting Helix Investigations. Our team is dedicated to providing professional and ethical investigative services tailored to each client's unique needs.
