International Location and Recovery
Mission Possible.
From locating a handicapped woman alive and veiled and locked behind a door in a Cairo apartment after an 8 year disappearance, to recovering an 18-month-old female toddler abducted by her non-custodial father from Boston to South Africa, where she was found with her name changed, hair cut, and dressed as a boy, AIS International is on site and on target to do the impossible. While local law enforcement can afford only limited attention to your case, our highly experienced international specialist is dedicated to you.
Lost & Found.
Working in partnership with families to locate and recover missing children, missing family members, runaway teens and adults, AIS International offers personalized consultation and onsite investigation of unusual disappearances in foreign countries. Whether looking for a young adult from a town in Ireland who decides to go on an “excellent adventure” and neglects to inform his parents that he’s “Lost in New York,” or working with a family whose child is lured to another country by suspicious online interactions, our AIS International Specialist works with you on a personal level to assess, consult and search for the missing person with dedicated attention to your case.
International Parent Child Abduction
Each year, over 2,000 children are abducted by a non-custodial parent and taken to a foreign country. AIS International works side-by-side with the custodial parent to facilitate the location and recovery of the abducted child, while abiding by the international child abduction custody laws under the Hague Treaty. Our AIS International Specialist works closely with family members to negotiate the maze of local laws and courts, and to keep pressure on foreign consulates and embassies to facilitate a safe and timely recovery. While international custody laws generally favor the custodial parent, local law enforcement, consulates, and non-profit agencies can only advise searching parents. AIS International provides one-on-one consultation and on location search and recovery within the foreign country, while assisting parents in negotiating the legal process.
For children who disappear into non-Hague Member Treaty countries, our AIS International Specialist has the experience to conduct on-site location and recovery of the abducted child while working within the guidelines of diverse foreign laws. AIS International’s access to a vast global network dedicated to abducted child location and recovery in diplomatically sensitive regions provides the essential tools to penetrate difficult and often life-threatening situations around the world. Our International Specialist will walk with you every step of the way until your child is safely back home.

Missing and Exploited Children
The United States operates a National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, providing the first step to begin the process of location and recovery. Although a great resource, the Center is a clearinghouse for disseminating information and advice, and is not authorized or funded to physically search for your missing child overseas. Our AIS International Specialist is trained to consult, assess, and travel to locate and recover your child while representing your interests abroad with consulates and local police authorities. AIS International works strictly with authorities and within the country's legal system, and does not accept requests for "snatching" children.

Runaway Teens and Adults
Utilizing resources unique in the investigative industry, American Investigative Services and AIS International are able to access the local areas runaways are known to frequent. Our intelligence network and strong affiliations with law enforcement allow us to effectively locate missing teens by utilizing our Internet research expertise and social networking skills to successfully resolve even the most difficult of assignments. Once the runaway teen is located, AIS can facilitate reintegration within a safe and highly responsive facility for runaway teens.

Reopening and Resolution of Cold Cases
Case closed? Evidence erased?
Cold cases can break your heart, but not the AIS team’s determination to find the truth. At AIS it is never too late to investigate.
For example, AIS has recently been retained to analyze the 26-year-old unresolved murder of Joan Lucinda Webster. No one has been arrested or charged with this crime, despite published theories. AIS is currently on the case to sort out the facts from the theories and to bring this cold case to a resolution.

Family Reunification
From Katrina to Kosovo, from Rwanda to Sudan, tsunamis, devastating hurricanes, and genocidal wars often lead to dislocation within a tangle of tent cities and refugee camps. Natural and manmade catastrophes divide not only people from homes and land, but separate families – husbands from wives, parents from children, sisters from brothers, and mothers from babies. Utilizing international resources and alliances, AIS International partners with NGO’s to trace remnants of families torn apart by war or natural disaster, and help reunite families anywhere in the world.

Non-Criminal Searches and Personal Requests
Whether finding old lovers, friends, co-workers, or conducting family tree searches, AIS International can go back in time and pick up where others have left off. Our International Specialist helped one client find an old flame from WWII in London with only a maiden name and home address from 64 years ago.
At AIS International, nothing is impossible.
