Can I find anybody?

The Reality

This really is one of those how long is a piece of string questions as there are so many factors to take into consideration. Does the person want to be found? What resources do you have at your disposal? What information are you able to obtain?

For most though this question is relatively simple and straight forward and relates to finding an old school friend, work colleague, military buddy and the like. In these circumstances where the person is not hiding and is just going about living their regular daily lives, there is a high probability of finding them if you’re willing to spend the time and resources required. What that investment will be relies upon mitigating factors such as name changes through marriage, what country they are in, level of social media engagement and the like. It can be extremely simple to find people, then again it can also be extremely difficult.
