We detail one of our suspected cheating partner cases |
I was approached by a lady a few months ago who suspected her husband was cheating on her with her sister in law. This lady was actually making herself ill with the worry about weather her husband was actually cheating so she decided to hire us.
I looked into all her suspicions first to analyze whether she had a valid reason to suspect him or if she was just being paranoid. Some of the signs we look for are the obvious right down to the most discreet and some that are almost invisible.
She did respond to a lot of a questions in a way that made us thin that it was worth us taking on the case and do some further investigations. He was moving into other rooms and stepping outside every time someone called his mobile which is something that does need investigation and is a dead giveaway.
He had a renewed interest in his personal hygiene and was spending much more time showering before work and preening his self before he went out on his `lads night out` There were some strange patterns that i couldn't at first understand but by the end of the case it all came clear by the end.
The lady that wanted us to do some detective work on her husband was going away for a few days so we had the perfect chance for some discreet surveillance on her husband for a few days. The plans were set and we had worked out his usual timings and patterns to see if there was any deviations.
One thing we do is ask the suspected cheating spouses partner to keep a daily log of the mileage they are doing so we can see patterns that are unusual or we can work out how far out of the area they are going.
This mileage logging helps us to keep track of the suspected cheating spouse but it also helps us in pricing the job for the customer. We set the sting to last 3 days and to start just before the lady that hired us went away on holiday and it was intended to last until just after she came back.
Let me tell the scene for you.
The suspected cheating spouse was a high flying accountant whom could work flexible hours so it was not unknown for him to take 4 hour lunch breaks and claim that he was going to the gym or going for a mid day run.He drove a very high powered sports car and was known to sometimes `exceed the speed limits` so this could have made it a little hard for us to follow him but we made allowances and preparations for this.
How we started;
We had his wife access a text message we sent to his mobile phone when he was charging it overnight and this was a tracking message that told us where he was at anytime right down to street level.So we had the location of his phone covered but you need to remember that if the phone is static that he may have left it somewhere such as the office while he is out as not to be disturbed.
We had someone watching his house from a surveillance vehicle and and someone else watching his workplace but we decided in this case that it wasn't important to watch his sister in laws house because this would have taken up valuable work man hours and we had all the important bases covered anyway.
He left for work at the normal time and went to work by the normal route without deviation, arriving at his workplace at the normal time.
At lunchtime he left his office so we followed him at a safe distance using proven surveillance techniques with the help of the tracking device we had planted on his phone a few weeks earlier.
This is where the case changed and became a little confusing because he didn't follow the route to the gym he was a member of and he didn't go to his sister in laws as we expected but instead he drove into the center of town and went into an estate agents office.
We knew that his sister in law wasn't an estate agent but in fact a housewife so we went into the estate agents just after him pretending to be from out of the area and looking for property's.
He didn't go into the back of the estate agent which he would have been doing if he had been in a relationship with one of the employees but instead he sat and waited patiently for someone to come out and see him.
We both waited for a short time and e lady came out to see him with a folder of villas in a different country. We were videoing the case for the customer and this was one of the cases we like because the lady estate agent sat next to the man we were following and opened the folder to show him some similar property to the ones that he had been looking at the previous day and she suggested that they may have been more to his wife's taste!.
So we had some real evidence to show the customer that instead of cheating on his wife he was actually looking for a villa for them to use as a holiday home.
I am sorry that we spoiled the surprise for the wife but this is one of the cases that we will most remember because it ended in a happy ending.
