– WHAT I CAN HELP WITH
Services
Clear, considered investigative work – handled personally and reported plainly. If your situation isn’t listed below, get in touch and Rod will tell you honestly whether he can help.
Trace & Locate
Finding people and addresses – for serving a summons, locating a beneficiary to an estate, reconnecting with birth parents or children placed for adoption, or any other legitimate reason. Many straightforward trace enquiries can be completed rapidly, while more complex matters may require additional research or field enquiries.
Discuss a trace →Investigations
General investigative work – confirming a person is who they say they are, and establishing the facts before an important personal or business decision. Clear, documented findings you can rely on where it counts.
Make an enquiry →Missing Beneficiaries & Probate Searches
Locating missing heirs and beneficiaries for executors, lawyers and estate administrators – with the thorough, clearly documented searches that probate and estate distribution require.
request a Beneficiary or probate search →Find Birth Parents
Help to find a birth parent, or a child placed for adoption. Rod has reunited many New Zealand families over 35 years – including his own – and guides every search with care, patience and complete discretion, from first steps to first contact.
Verify an identity →Relationship Enquiries
No one expects to need a trust or infidelity enquiry – yet it’s more common than people think, and you have every right to the truth. These matters are handled with particular sensitivity, complete confidentiality and zero judgement.
Talk in confidence →Surveillance
Discreet surveillance for insurers, corporate and private clients, delivered with detailed reports and photographic or video evidence where appropriate. Methodical, lawful and thorough – exactly what’s needed and nothing that isn’t.

One of New Zealand’s best-reviewed investigators.
★★★★★
“Rod has been able to find someone for me with limited information, he was able to find this person that I haven’t seen for 52 years and more importantly he did this in less than 3 days. A couple of years back another investigator could not even get close to finding them. I am in close contact with the person and only because of Rod. I have a lot to be grateful for.”

“Rod is just awesome, He always been in touch personally and quickly. The task I gave Him was impossible for me, locating my Step Daughters after 30 years somewhere in Australia and all I had were Names and DOB, but Rod managed to locate and contact them and we are in touch again. All of this in a short timeframe.
Many Thanks Rod, You are the Best.”

“I engaged Rod to help me with a very difficult and delicate family matter involving a missing family member.
Despite many requests, the Police were unable to help, but Rod persisted, and my family situation is resolved.”
