I think it is often beyond the immediate foresight of a frantic parent or spouse to request the services of a private investigator in a timely manner. Is there a certain protocol that an investigator might follow in pursuing missing persons cases without being contacted by a family member first? I am under the impression that in such cases, there are only a few days prior to initial disappearance that any sort of inquiry would turn up a favorable outcome. I personally would be much more interested in pursuing missing persons with time to spare on my side.

I would also like to say that cellular phones have to communicate with towers local to the area that the phone is being used from. If the cellular phone is in the name of the parent, an investigator, and or the parent, could work with the cellular phone company, under the premise of 'theft' to find out where the last call was made from, or what tower the phone is actively paired with. A cellular phone alone will give you a 1-5 square mile aproximation of where the user is located.

I do hope that tracking devices can be considered also to track the movement of vehicles.
