Skip tracers locate individuals who are difficult to find — missing witnesses, absconded defendants, or other people relevant to a case — using public records, databases, and investigative techniques.
Why Skip Tracers Matter in Criminal Defense Cases
- Locating a missing witness can be essential to building or defending against a case.
- Skip tracers use specialized databases and skip-tracing techniques beyond basic public records searches.
- Speed matters — witnesses become harder to locate the longer a case proceeds.
- Legally and ethically sound tracing methods protect the resulting evidence from being challenged in court.
What to Look for When Hiring a Skip Tracer
- Experience specifically locating witnesses for legal proceedings, not solely debt collection tracing
- Access to professional-grade locator databases
- Discretion and legally compliant methods
- A track record of successful locates in time-sensitive circumstances
