A skip tracer is some one that specializes in tracking someone or something down. Usually bail bond violators, cars and late payers as well as other criminal types.
They have fairly sophisticated software that can search databases we do not have access to. Pretty interesting methods can track somebody back for several years. Utility bills and accounts play an important chapter in skip tracing as folks need water and electricity virtually anywhere. Included are SS software for tracking, cell phone tracking, credit card activity.
It is very hard to disappear when a fully experienced skip tracer gets on your trail. You can vanish but it is very hard now days.
Thanks, Biff.
I’d never heard of a skip tracer prior to this. Learn something every day.
