  • What Is a Missing Person Investigation?

    A missing person investigation involves the lawful effort to locate and verify the status or whereabouts of an individual when contact has been lost or circumstances raise concern.

    These investigations may involve:

    • Missing family members

    • Runaways or vulnerable individuals

    • Persons who have unexpectedly lost contact with loved ones

    • Welfare-related location enquiries

    Each case is assessed individually to determine the appropriate investigative approach and legal scope.

  • Important: When to Contact the Police

    If a person is believed to be:

    • Missing under suspicious circumstances

    • At immediate risk

    • Abducted or unlawfully detained

    You should immediately contact the South African Police Service (SAPS) and open a missing person report.

    Private investigation services may be used in addition to official processes, particularly where assistance is needed with information gathering, verification, or lawful enquiries.
