- A friend tells me that she used the services of a private
- investigator to locate a boyfriend from high school days (25
- years ago), mainly out of curiosity as to what had become of
- him. She paid the PI something around $150-$200 for this, as I
- recall, contingent on success in the search.
-
- The PI was able to find the former flame within a day using his
- databases, the nature of which he wouldn't disclose to her. He
- did say that he had worked for the Federal government in the
- past.
-
- How did he do it? It would seem that he would have to have
- access to some union of all American telephone directories.
