A cold case is a criminal investigation that has hit a block or been abandoned by current law enforcement and government. The case may well still officially be open, but no resources are devoted to its solution.

One way to get interest in such a case, and potentially force government or law enforcement to make the case a priority again, is to retain private inquiry agent services to review existing files, gather new evidence and look at old and new leads. The value of doing this is to not only provide a possible solution but to gather new evidence for a prosecution, give peace of mind if possible to victim families and to possibly make sure that the crime investigation is thoroughly processed and brought to what will hopefully be a successful conclusion.

Investigation is not the same thing as prosecution.

Prosecution is not the same thing as criminal conviction.

Criminal conviction is not the same thing as justice.

However if you or your family are victims of a horrible crime that remains unsolved, we offer a flat fee investigation to review all available evidence, attempt to pursue leads and find new leads, and provide a final report in a timely manner.

The flat fee approach is used as a guarantee that our investigation is not simply a profiteering exercise off a desperate victim. We must be paid for our time and our efforts but we will use all best efforts in a legal and ethical manner to try and bring you a real solution.

Case Study 1: A family sought out SKA to investigate a cold case involving a missing relative. After re-evaluating the evidence and conducting new interviews, we identified a previously overlooked lead, reigniting the case and providing hope for resolution.
