New York Skip Tracing – Locate a Person

Licensed in New York | Remote Investigations Nationwide | Local Field Work in NYC & Long Island

Whether you’re dealing with an unpaid debt, a missing witness, or someone who skipped town after defrauding you, skip tracing is the investigative process that can help you get answers. While many associate it only with debt collection, skip tracing is a much broader and more powerful technique—and when done professionally, it can uncover leads that typical databases simply miss.

At Easton Secure Solutions LLC, we specialize in skip tracing investigations that go beyond surface-level searches. We're fully licensed in New York, conduct field investigations throughout New York City and Long Island, and provide remote investigative services nationwide. If you need answers, we’re ready to go to work.

 
What Is Skip Tracing?

Skip tracing is the process of locating a person whose whereabouts are unknown. The word “skip” refers to someone who has “skipped town,” and “tracing” is the act of finding them. This technique is used in many scenarios—both personal and legal.

A professional skip trace involves far more than a quick Google search. It’s a strategic and compliant process that often includes analyzing public records, digital footprints, and using specialized tools unavailable to the general public.

•  Common Reasons for Skip Tracing
• Locating someone who owes you money
• Finding a former tenant or landlord
• Identifying witnesses or defendants in a legal case
• Reconnecting with estranged or long-lost relatives
• Investigating fraud or identity misuse
• Tracing heirs or next of kin in probate matters
   

  The Problem with People Search Websites

While sites like Spokeo or BeenVerified may advertise fast and cheap information, they’re notoriously unreliable. These platforms often serve outdated or inaccurate data, and they don’t verify identities.

By contrast, licensed private investigators provide skip tracing that is:
✅ Accurate
✅ Legally compliant
✅ Backed by real analysis
✅ Actionable in legal and civil proceedings

 
How New York Skip Tracing Works

When you hire Easton Secure Solutions LLC, skip tracing becomes a comprehensive investigation. We go beyond just entering a name—we follow clues and analyze data patterns across jurisdictions.

Our approach includes:

• Reviewing public records across multiple states
• Cross-referencing known addresses, phone numbers, and aliases
• Analyzing digital footprints (emails, usernames, social media)
• Investigating potential fraud or intentional identity masking
• Contacting known associates where legally permissible

We conduct skip traces nationwide. Whether someone changed their name, relocated, or is hiding intentionally, we build the roadmap to help find them.

 
Real-World Example: A Contractor Scam in Nassau County

A homeowner in Nassau County, NY, hired a contractor via a home services app like Thumbtack. After receiving a sizable down payment, the contractor vanished—phone disconnected, profile deleted, no registered business.

Frustrated, the homeowner contacted Easton Secure Solutions LLC.

We launched a skip trace by:

• Tracing the phone and username across digital platforms
• Verifying the true identity linked to payment apps and accounts
• Searching business records in neighboring states
• Reviewing civil complaints filed in small claims court
• The investigation uncovered a verified identity, current address, and documentation that allowed the homeowner to pursue civil action.

These scams are increasingly common—and this is where professional skip tracing proves essential.

 
What Information Do You Need to Start a Skip Trace?

You don’t always need a full name and birth date to begin a skip trace. Often, we can begin with just one or two identifiers, such as:

• A phone number (even if disconnected)
• An email address
• A social media handle
• A former employer or street address
• A screen name or alias

If you’re unsure, we’ll help assess what’s possible before proceeding.

 
Advanced OSINT & Investigative Tools We Use

While we don’t publicly list our proprietary tools, we leverage advanced Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) methods alongside licensed professional databases to:

• Cross-verify identities
• Identify inconsistencies
• Analyze online and offline activity
• Connect small data points to uncover location trails

These tools are not available to the public, and when paired with human-led analysis, they lead to credible, court-ready results.

 
Legal and Ethical Compliance

At Easton Secure Solutions LLC, we adhere strictly to all federal and state laws, including GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) and DPPA (Driver’s Privacy Protection Act), where applicable.

We do not conduct skip traces for harassment, stalking, or unauthorized surveillance. Each request is evaluated to ensure ethical and legal standards are met. If you’re unsure about your case, we’ll walk you through your options.

 
What We Don’t Do
It’s important to understand the scope of a skip trace:

• We are not licensed debt collectors
• We are not recovery agents
• We do not guarantee contact or money recovery

However, we can provide you with verified findings, reports, and documentation to support:

• Civil litigation or small claims court
• Filing a police report
• Attorney preparation or referrals
