Skip Tracing
Locate witnesses, subjects, debtors.
Stealthwatch conducts lawful skip tracing to locate witnesses, parties, debtors, heirs, beneficiaries, defendants, and other subjects for a legitimate investigative or legal purpose. Research may combine public records, licensed investigative databases used for permissible purposes, open-source intelligence, address history, contact data, associates, business records, and field verification.

How a Stealthwatch locate assignment runs before the level is matched to your file.
For clients with a documented lawful purpose who need a current lead, a verified location, or a clear explanation of why the evidence remains inconclusive.
Locating witnesses, parties, heirs, or defendants before a deadline forces your hand.
Locating claimants, witnesses, or parties of interest on an open claim file.
Developing or verifying a service address before attempts are wasted.
A legitimate claim, contact, estate, or family-related purpose that survives screening.
The selected locate level determines depth. Every version states its own confidence.
Names, aliases, dates of birth, prior addresses, phones, emails, associates, and entities.
Current and historical address leads, each carrying the date of the source behind it.
When separately authorized, an investigator confirms a likely location on the ground.
Findings, confidence rating, conflicting identifiers, limitations, and recommended next steps.
Four steps from identifiers to a rated answer — including an honest one when the evidence doesn’t get there.
We confirm the lawful objective, intended use, minimum identifiers, urgency, and any contact restrictions.
Investigators review appropriate public, open-source, client-authorized, and licensed sources for permissible purposes.
Leads are compared across dates, addresses, associates, and entities; field verification may be added when approved.
You receive a confidence-rated locate memorandum, or a recommendation for additional records, fieldwork, or partner support.
A database hit is not a verified location.
Reports identify the sources reviewed, the recency of key records, the confidence in a possible address, conflicting information, and the verification steps completed. Requests are screened for a permissible purpose — Stealthwatch will not provide information for harassment, stalking, unlawful collection, or prohibited eligibility decisions.
Verifiable through the State of Georgia.
Permissible desktop locate research can often be conducted regardless of the subject’s state, subject to records access and applicable privacy law. Georgia field verification is available through Stealthwatch, with select out-of-state verification coordinated through vetted partners where lawful. Records access, privacy law, source availability, licensing, and partner coverage vary by jurisdiction.
Routine, well-identified locate assignments typically target completion within a timeframe confirmed at intake. Common names, limited identifiers, identity conflicts, deceased subjects, international elements, records delays, field verification, or evasive subjects may require additional time.
What clients ask before sending a locate request.
What information do you need to begin?
A full name plus additional identifiers such as date of birth, prior address, phone, email, employer, relative, case number, or known location history improves accuracy. Stealthwatch will explain whether the available identifiers are sufficient.
Can you guarantee that a person will be located?
No. People may use aliases, move frequently, leave limited records, live internationally, be deceased, or intentionally conceal their location. The report states the confidence and limitations of the available evidence.
What is the difference between an address hit and a verified locate?
An address hit is a record or lead that may be current or outdated. A verified locate uses corroborating sources and, when authorized, field observations or other confirmation to increase confidence that the person is associated with the location.
Will you contact the person you locate?
Only when contact is specifically authorized, lawful, safe, and included in the scope. Many locate assignments are research-only and do not notify the subject.
Can locate information be used for any purpose?
No. Requests are screened for a legitimate and permissible purpose. Stealthwatch will not provide information for harassment, stalking, unlawful collection, prohibited eligibility decisions, or another improper use.
