Recent Cases
USPA’s Missing Persons Division has been assigned to several tragic and high-profile cases that began as missing persons reports and have since evolved into homicide investigations. Our team continues to work alongside families and authorities to uncover the truth and pursue justice. Among the national headline cases we’re involved in are Andi Wagner, Nikki Saelee McCain, and Mamta Bhatt. These heartbreaking cases underscore the urgency and depth of our work. At the same time, we continue to celebrate the successful recovery of dozens of teenage runaway girls, whose safe return reminds us why we never stop searching.
Decades of Experience in Missing Person Recovery
With over two decades of field-proven effectiveness, USPA Nationwide Security has built a reputation on results. Our team includes former federal agents, homicide detectives, and military intelligence personnel. At the center of this specialized task force is Michael Evans, a decorated former law enforcement officer with more than 1,000 closed cases by arrest. His experience across local and federal jurisdictions forms the investigative foundation for every case we accept.
Our private investigators for missing person cases specialize in time-sensitive recoveries, from abductions and runaways to vulnerable adult disappearances and suspected human trafficking. Every search is grounded in investigative rigor, legal compliance, and a trauma-informed approach for families.

Our work has gained national attention, including segments on Fox News, CNN, and Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. Brian Fitzgibbons, USPA’s Director of Operations and nationally recognized missing person investigator, is regularly sought after for expert commentary on high-profile cases. His strategic guidance shapes every mission, from tactical planning to media coordination, making Fitzgibbons an indispensable resource to our investigative teams and the families we serve.
This high visibility is not simply performative. It brings awareness to cases that might otherwise fade into obscurity—an outcome far too common in overburdened public systems.
USPA in the News
...there are very little words that would convey my gratitude to you and your company in the search for my son Séamus. Without your selflessness and compassion, I would not have been able to get through this tragic time."
Immediate Response. No Bureaucracy. Full Confidentiality.
In many states, law enforcement is limited by protocols that delay response or restrict search efforts until hours—or even days—have passed. USPA and Kingsman operate outside those constraints. We respond within hours, often deploying surveillance teams, field agents, and media liaisons on the same day a family contacts us.
Whether you need to hire a private investigator for a missing person, initiate digital forensics on a suspect’s device, or organize community canvassing, we tailor a rapid and ethical action plan. All services are confidential, with clear communication and full respect for the emotional complexity involved in each case.
Reward Programs: A Catalyst for Public Tips
In many successful recoveries, the public played a critical role. To increase the likelihood of cooperation, we offer privately funded reward programs that incentivize tips and information. Rewards are structured carefully to avoid compromising the case, with clear terms that exclude suspects or anyone involved in the disappearance.
These programs are legally vetted and strategically posted to generate maximum awareness while protecting investigatory integrity. According to internal case data, rewards increase lead generation by 70% in the first 48 hours.

How to Find a Missing Person with USPA’s Help
The process begins with a confidential intake call. Our dispatch team, available 24/7, gathers the details of the case and immediately routes it to the appropriate regional investigative unit. A lead investigator—licensed, trained, and experienced—will then assess risk, timeline, known associates, and behavioral patterns.
When appropriate, we initiate forensic analysis, geo-fencing, digital tracking, and boots-on-the-ground searches. Media releases may be coordinated in tandem with law enforcement or independently, depending on the needs of the family and legal considerations.
Every case receives a custom-built investigative strategy—because no two disappearances are ever alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a missing person investigator do?
A missing person investigator gathers evidence, conducts interviews, performs surveillance, and works with law enforcement to find a missing person quickly and ethically. At USPA, our investigators are licensed professionals with backgrounds in law enforcement, intelligence, and forensics. We specialize in child abductions, endangered runaways, domestic violence-related disappearances, and complex cases where public agencies may have exhausted leads.
Can I hire a private investigator for a missing person?
Yes. In fact, families often turn to private investigators for missing person cases when official resources are limited or delayed. USPA’s team responds immediately—often within hours—and operates nationwide. We coordinate search efforts, analyze digital footprints, and offer confidential, trauma-informed support to families in crisis.
How long do I have to wait before reporting someone missing?
Contrary to popular belief, there is no legal waiting period to report someone missing. The earlier you act, the better the outcome. USPA encourages families to contact us as soon as they suspect danger or unusual behavior. Our missing person investigators can begin working immediately—even if law enforcement is still processing the report. Time is critical, especially in the first 48 hours.
