People Search

Intelligence Group International can provide you with the support you need in locating your missing person in an expedient, comprehensive search. As private investigators, we are not limited by jurisdiction restraints that hinder local law enforcement agencies.

The first few hours after a person is discovered to be missing are the most critical. Law enforcement agencies frequently have hundreds of missing person files open at any one time which makes it unlikely that cases receive more than a cursory investigation, if that.

While it is possible to try and conduct skip tracing or missing person locates on your own by using various online search engines, the hidden costs, access and search fees, and use of extra, unnecessary searches may cause this to be more expensive, time consuming, and frustrating than allowing a professional to conduct the search for you. The fees charged by private databases are charged regardless of the results.

Our investigators routinely conduct investigations relating to missing persons. People sometimes lose contact with family members, friends or business associates, others have legal reasons to search for missing persons.

Intelligence Group International can locate missing persons of all types. The resources we have developed through the years enable us to find virtually anyone! We use a variety of methods to locate individuals and time-proven professional investigative techniques which can often allow us to locate someone in hours -- or even minutes -- when others have been searching fruitlessly for years!

Typically, these investigations involve a great deal of communication between the investigator and the client. Intelligence Group International can provide an investigator who will listen to your problem and develop a workable plan for meeting your needs.

Testimonials

"I am a prominent Psychiatrist practicing in New York City. My brother was brutally murdered in and his murder was placed in the cold-case murder file. After several attempts to talk to the police and media and no progress being attained a law enforcement official recommended Mr. Lentini. He picked me up at the Airport, and after a brief interview I knew I was in the right hands. Mr. Lentini and I worked together and returned to the scene of the crime where my brother was brutally murdered. Mr. Lentini recovered additional evidence as I stood by and watched his methodical work. As I returned to New York to continue my practice within 2 weeks Mr Lentini tracked the murder suspect to Puerto Rico where he was apprehended. This does not bring my brother back but it brings peace & closure to my family and myself. We will never forget my brother and we will never forget the exhaustive efforts on Mr. Lentini’s part. I am truly grateful to this man."

- Carmen

My 16 year old handicapped son was kidnapped 2 years ago, and after several extortion notes law enforcement was unable to locate my son. I had lost all hope until my friend put me in contact with investigator Rick Lentini. After speaking with Mr Lentini he was very comforting and assuring to me and my husband. Through Mr. Lentini’s expeditious work and knowledge he recovered my son within 24 hours unharmed in the state of Michigan. Mr. Lentini also followed up with the investigation and the extortion plot by drug dealers and affected their arrest. Words cannot express my gratitude towards Mr. Lentini and the appreciation of his follow-up visits to my family to ensure our safety. Only someone who has lived through this nightmare would know how I really feel.

- Lorraine B.

I know Rick Lentini very well. This man has literally saved my life under my employment as a body guard during one of my most catastrophic times of my life. I am still in contact with him and he still suffers today from the injuries he sustained from saving my life. I would have to say I owe this man my life, and anybody who writes any derogatory remarks about him should look at themselves in the mirror, and only wish they could be half the man that Rick Lentini is. I would recommend him and his expertize to anyone who is in need of his services.

- Barbara R.

I have the utmost respect and admiration for Rick Lentini. I have worked with Rick for more than 10 years, and I love him. He is one of the most caring men I’ve ever met. He always helps anyone whenever he can. He does not ask, “what’s in it for me?” but asks, “what can I do for you?” Rick is intelligent. He is honest. He is fair and kind. He works hard. Rick protects the people he cares for at his own detriment when necessary. I am so happy to know Rick and have him on my side.If you ever need his help, you will be blessed if he agrees. He is a man of many talents… you wouldn’t believe his resume. (He is also extremely handsome and strong.)
