Our Investigative Services
We offer comprehensive support and investigations into missing person cases at no cost to families. If you are hoping to trace a loved one, or require help resolving a long-term disappearance, please get in touch with us.
How our investigative service works
Our investigative service is called Quest. It is a pioneering analytical and investigative system designed to address the challenges faced by families with missing loved ones. It allows us to re-investigate cases so we can dedicate time and resource to every aspect of them.
Our vision is centred around resolving five crucial issues:
Preventing similar occurrences for other families in the future
Enhancing the management of investigations for the benefit of others
Ensuring exhaustive efforts are made in both our and all families' cases
Understanding the events surrounding the disappearance
Ultimately locating the missing individuals
Our primary goal is to offer support to families dealing with the anguish of a missing loved one.
Your connection with us initiates a thorough investigation, providing hope and proactive steps towards finding your missing family member.
How Quest Works
Quest serves as a hub, consolidating and interlinking data concerning long-term missing and unidentified individuals in the UK. Powered by Altia, our platform employs intelligent analysis to scrutinise this information extensively.
Our system further leverages the expertise of our specialised global volunteer network to conduct in-depth investigations. Our ultimate aim is to ensure exhaustive efforts in each case, offering families the prospect of learning and growing from each investigation.
We collate and link information on UK long-term missing and unidentified people
We analyse information using a smart, fully searchable platform powered by Altia Intelligence
We enable our trained global community of specialist volunteers to conduct an in-depth investigation
We help ensure that all that can be done, is done and we learn from every case
Collate
The virtual interview system has been developed by specialists at Locate International CIO, Goldsmiths University and Altia Intelligence. Quest collates information from multiple sources and makes it fully searchable and shareable, all managed in a secure, audited and access-controlled Quest digital database.
Once collated, it’s ready for
analysis.
Analyse
Quest specialists analyse the information collated to unlock insights, discover previously unseen connections, & identify relationships between new and existing information. Our REACT 365 international network of leading researchers will direct large scale and multiple smaller studies to advance practice.
Once analysed, it’s ready for investigation.
Investigate
Quest allows managers to oversee and direct every aspect of an investigation. Crucially, it ensures precise information dissemination to the right individuals to meet investigation objectives. It offers audit capabilities, precise team oversight, outcome recording, and compliance with top investigation standards.
Once investigated, we continue to actively review if no answers.
Request Help
This service is now available to help families of missing people.
It was only four years after Lorraine’s disappearance that Toni sat down for a formal interview with the police.
I didn’t think that enough had been done. We felt like Lorraine wasn’t being looked for and that opportunities were being missed. That not enough effort had been made to reach out to people who knew Lorraine, people who might be able to help.
