When someone disappears — whether intentionally or due to circumstances beyond their control — every moment counts. At Private Pursuit Investigations, we specialise in locating missing persons across the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and greater Queensland. Our approach combines compassion, strategy and the latest investigative tools to trace people safely and discreetly. Whether you’re searching for a loved one, a former partner, a witness, or a debtor, we apply proven techniques to help you find answers — and peace of mind.

​

Missing person cases demand a balance of urgency, sensitivity and precision. With a background in criminology, psychology and government investigations, we combine traditional fieldwork with modern skip-tracing methods and open-source intelligence (OSINT). Every search is conducted ethically, lawfully and with respect for privacy.

​

Our methods include:

• Background analysis — identifying patterns, connections and possible locations.
• Skip tracing — leveraging databases, digital footprints, and lawful intelligence sources.
• Surveillance and field inquiries — where physical verification is required.
• Collaboration with authorities or legal representatives, where appropriate.
• Regular communication — keeping clients informed with updates and findings.

We understand that no two missing person cases are alike. Our investigation plans are tailored to your situation — whether it’s a recent disappearance or a long-term absence.
