USPA Nationwide Security · Investigations
When someone disappears, families need an experienced team that knows how to evaluate leads, coordinate a search and work responsibly alongside law enforcement. USPA Nationwide Security offers missing persons investigative services, drawing on the operational experience of its Kingsman missing-girl initiatives.
If a person is in immediate danger, contact 911 or local emergency services first. Report missing children to law enforcement and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the United States. missingkids.org
Each route has its own intake, so a case is assessed the right way from the first contact.
Paid missing-person investigations are available for appropriate cases involving adults and other persons. A coordinator reviews the circumstances, confirms lawful authority to investigate and proposes an appropriate scope before any work begins.
Start A Paid Case ReviewSeparate charitable missing-girl recovery assistance may be considered through Kingsman Philanthropic Corp, subject to case review and available resources. A request is screened for mission fit and safeguarding before any assistance is offered.
Request Kingsman AssistanceDifferent funding and intake needs, one operational standard of care.
USPA Nationwide Security founded Kingsman initiatives to help locate missing and exploited girls. This mission and the company's private investigative services serve different funding and intake needs.
The two operate on separate tracks: Kingsman's philanthropic work is considered case by case against its mission criteria, while USPA's investigative services are engaged directly by families, attorneys and other authorized parties. Each route has its own intake so a case is assessed the right way from the first contact.
USPA's broader operational network numbers more than 5,000 contractors, and its missing-person response draws on a substantial network of investigators and specialists assigned to a case as its scope requires.
USPA's missing-person operations are among the largest private efforts in the United States, and the operational detail behind that scale is documented in the organization's case reporting.
The people who answer a case are the people who run it.
Lead Investigator · Director of Operations
Brian Fitzgibbons is a leading public face of USPA's missing-person investigative work. A Marine Corps veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, he directs field teams on cases across the United States and internationally and coordinates with law enforcement on active investigations.

Founder and Investigator · Strategic Advisor
Michael Evans founded USPA Nationwide Security and built its missing-person work alongside the Kingsman initiatives, including investigations into cold-case homicide matters brought to him by families and attorneys.
His investigative approach starts with the case file: reconstructing timelines, re-interviewing witnesses, and separating what can be documented from what cannot, without exposing confidential case details or compromising active leads.
Every case is accepted case by case, with lawful authority confirmed before work begins.
Confidential, lawful investigative services for missing or difficult-to-locate adults, subject to a legitimate purpose, applicable privacy rules and an agreed scope. Where a located adult's wishes govern disclosure, those wishes are respected.
Investigation support for parents, guardians and authorized agencies, coordinated with law enforcement and appropriate child protection organizations. Proof of authority is required, and case data is handled under safeguarding practices.
Experience-informed missing-person investigation and case coordination, including survivor-centered considerations and referral to appropriate services. Cases are assessed discreetly and screened before acceptance.
Case reexamination and lead-development support for families, attorneys or other authorized parties, with emphasis on preserving potential evidence. These engagements are accepted case by case.
Lawful, documented, and coordinated with responsible authorities.
Members of USPA's specialist network include former military special-operations personnel, including veterans of Navy SEAL and Army Ranger organizations, with experience in locating difficult-to-find individuals. The team assembled for each case depends on what the case requires.
USPA investigations rely on lawful, documented methods: public-record research, witness outreach, investigative interviewing, lead prioritization, case reconstruction, cross-border coordination where lawful, and careful preservation of potential evidence.
Investigators work with responsible authorities when appropriate and stop where the law stops. Cases are accepted case by case, and no outcome is promised in advance.
USPA leadership has located or recovered hundreds of missing girls, runaways, abducted girls and trafficking victims through its philanthropic efforts over the years. Survivor details are kept confidential, and identities are never published.
Press coverage of these cases is linked directly. Where a case is open, it is presented as open.
In December 2022, Aeris Hammock, a 24-year-old woman from Roseville, California, had been missing for five days when police confirmed she had been located and was safe. Brian Fitzgibbons and USPA assisted the family with a tip-line effort associated with her safe location.
The recovery was the combined work of police, the family and the public tip line; press coverage of the case is linked below.
Andi Madison Wagner was last seen in Evansville, Indiana on August 6, 2022. In July 2024, Kingsman Philanthropic Corp announced a $25,000 reward for information leading to her location, and public coverage included comments from Brian Fitzgibbons on the effort.
The case remains open, and the reward for information leading to her location is active.
