Burns Investigations

“Wherever he steps, wherever he touches, whatever he leaves, even without consciousness, will serve as a silent witness against him. Not only his fingerprints or his footprints, but his hair, the fibers from his clothes, the glass he breaks, the tool mark he leaves, the paint he scratches, the blood or semen he deposits or collects. All of these and more, bear mute witness against him. This is evidence that does not forget. It is not confused by the excitement of the moment. It is not absent because human witnesses are. It is factual evidence. Physical evidence cannot be wrong, it cannot perjure itself, it cannot be wholly absent. Only human failure to find it, study and understand it, can diminish its value.“
– Paul L. Kirk. 1953. Crime investigation: physical evidence and the police laboratory. Interscience Publishers, Inc.: New York.

Next time I go back to try to serve these people, I am going to bring some food for these cats. So sad. Sometimes, lots of times....people are the animals.

When the Sheriff’s Office can’t get it served, give me a call. They are awesome, but just cannot devote the time for difficult serves.

If your PI won’t do whatever it takes, ....call me. Hottest, most humid day of the year, but got the video my client needs to get his child in a safer place....with him.

We have had several clients needing help with prowlers, vandals and stalkers on their properties lately. While cameras are very valuable in these cases, sometimes the client wants someone on-site. This is where our weapon of choice is the thermal camera. Thermal cameras not only can detect people, but they can also detect covert surveillance equipment such as listening devices or hidden cameras, which all consume some energy. These devices give off a tiny amount of waste heat that is clearly visible on a thermal camera (even if hidden inside or behind an object). Our cameras are capable of recording what is observed by the investigator for use by law enforcement in apprehension and prosecution.
