JUST FIND
THEM!!!
BY: Caren Mansfield, a
member of the Illinois
Paralegal Association
Have you ever heard
those words. Just find
them! The client is missing
or the key witness has
moved leaving no forward-
ing address, and now it is
your job to locate them.
Where are V.I.
Warshawski1 or Stephanie
Plum when you need
them?
Before hiring an investi-
gator here are a few tips
for searching for a person.
First, review the file. See if
there is any information
about the person you are
seeking to locate in the
file. Start with the easy
stuff. Send a letter to the
old address and see if it is
forwarded or it may be
returned with a new
address. So that is usually
too easy and rarely works.
Okay, call the individual’s
old employer and ask if the
person left a forwarding
address or contact for
wages, W2s, pension infor-
mation, etc. No luck. Ask
to speak to co-workers.
Sometimes co-workers
maintain contact with their
old friends.
Okay, you still have not
found that elusive person.
Try the telephone book.
Call persons with the same
last name. While I do not
recommend it if the name
is Baker, Smith or Jones
for other individuals it
might be successful. You
might reach a family mem-
ber.
Try the Internet. There
are several free web sites
which give addresses and
telephone numbers. It
does take some time to sift
through all the informa-
tion if you do not have spe-
cific information such as
city and state of residence.
Try Yahoo.com,
WhoWhere.com,
Freeality.com/find, or
Anywho.com. These sites
are just a few of the free
sites to locate individuals.
Do you have the social
security number of the per-
son you are seeking?
While there are helpful
websites on the Internet to
locate missing persons usu-
ally you need a social secu-
rity number or last known
address to use them. If
you have that information
try www.accurint.com.
This is a service through
Lexis Nexis. The database

ment program. Their
