Stalking Investigations
Who's at risk? People who own successful business and competitors may wish to know the particulars of your day to day business activities. People who have disgruntled employees or an estranged ex-husband/ wife or ex-boyfriend/girlfriend. People who are the target of identity theft. People who have upset someone and they may be seeking retribution. People who are known to carry large sums of cash or execute large cash transactions. People who, for an infinite number of potential reasons, you catch the interest of a complete stranger. (See Stalking Investigations) Counter Surveillance can involve sophisticated electronic equipment.(See Electronic Debugging) However, the most common surveillance technique involves having one or more persons follow the pursuer or "Subject." As surveillance specialists ourselves, we are keenly aware of the tactics employed to covertly gather information. This expertise arms us with the necessary skills to track the "Subject" undetected and gather incriminating evidence. This evidence can be presented in a court of law should you choose to litigate and/or provided to law enforcement to lay the groundwork to prosecute. Evidence of this nature can also be very convincing for the issuance or enforcement of Restraining Orders. Licensed Private Investigators can intervene on your behalf if requested.
At Chimera Investigative Group, Inc. we consider stalking an act of individual terrorism. It steals your freedom, robs your sense of security and puts your very life at risk.
GPS Tracking Investigations and Vehicle Tracking
Athletes and Actors are not the only victims of stalkers. Unfortunately, everyday people are stalked everyday. According to the National Stalking Resource Center roughly 1 in 12 women and 1 in 45 men will be stalked in their lifetime. A stalker can be someone who is known to the victim, like a disgruntled ex-boyfriend, or a complete stranger. Either way, stalking can be extremely disruptive to the victim's life and place unbearable stress on the victim, the victim’s family and others. If this is happening to you or someone you know, we can help. We can help you establish stalking according to local laws, gather the evidence you may need should you choose to litigate and lay the groundwork for law enforcement to prosecute. Our services include:
What is GPS tracking?
Electronic Debugging, Electronic Counter Surveillance andGPS tracking units are devices that, once attached to a vehicle, person, or other asset can determine and record location positions at programmed intervals via the Global Positioning System. The collected information can than be stored within the tracking unit or, using a cellular (GPRS) radio or satellite, can be transmitted to an internet connected computer. The current and previous locations are then pinpointed on a map and are available in real time while simultaneously being recorded for future analyzation. While in place, the data will show locations, times and speeds traveled. Detailed reports of routes taken and time spent at specific destinations can be made available on a daily basis. Attached magnetically and measuring less than 15cm in length and 5cm wide, these devices can be covertly deployed and removed in mere seconds. Effective Uses For GPS Units:
Electronic Surveillance Detection
Do you have an uncomfortable feeling you are being watched? Do you hear strange noises on your phone? Has your private information been suspiciously revealed during conversations with acquaintances or business associates?
Asset Searches, Hidden Asset Investigations and Asset Tracing
You have a right to privacy, we can help. The ever increasing availability of audio and video bugs on the market today, make it relatively easy for someone to monitor what you are doing and saying in the privacy of your own home, business or vehicle. The threat of being a victim of electronic eavesdropping has never been greater. It doesn't take a high level of expertise or expensive equipment to intercept most forms of electronic communication and transmit it anywhere world wide. Shockingly, surveillance equipment is not difficult to construct, is available in many ordinary electronics stores and can be sold to any buyer, without restrictions. We could easily be clueless that we are living with these electronic roommates. Once planted, these devices are most likely disguised as household or office objects, hidden out of sight under furniture or floorboards or concealed inside walls and electrical equipment. They can also be cleverly built into something you already own. Our Investigations are Discreet and 100% Confidential. Typically, the only effective way of locating this equipment for removal is by a Counter Surveillance Operation or "Bug Sweep." Chimera Investigative Group will arrange for a Specialist Private Investigator to visit your home or business, discreetly locate any devices and remove them. In some cases, a reverse trace back investigation can be conducted to uncover the guilty eavesdropping parties. Bugging can happen to anyone, however, there are certain occupations, financial positions, social ties and domestic situations which increase the risk. Common victims of bugging are:
Equipment which can be located with Debugging:
In today's technological world, people becoming victim to listening devices, eavesdropping devices, recording devices, wireless devices, security cameras, audio and video surveillance devices and other snooping devices is more common than ever. If there is a concern you are the target of a bugging operation, we recommend you call our office from a payphone at least a few miles from your home. At this juncture, it might not be wise to use your home phone for calls of a confidential nature. Contact us for more information at 727.458.2711 and get a FREE Consultation.
People often hide their assets to avoid the reach of debtors, ex-spouses, or disgruntled business partners. In order to obscure the legal ownership of these assets, they will frequently employ numerous techniques creating a maze that can be difficult for you to navigate on your own.
People Locate Investigations
Our Asset Investigators can provide you with the quality, and timely data you require to collect your judgment as quickly and inexpensively as possible. We can identify bank accounts, brokerage accounts, real property, vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, business affiliations and other valuable assets to satisfy judgments and other judgment collection matters. Our goal is to provide you the information necessary to collect your judgment. Are you currently planning to initiate a law suit? Are you trying to collect a judgment from a suit you have already won? Are you in the process of divorce and need evidence of actual net worth? Are you about to trust a company or individual with your business? We can help. A successful Asset Investigation can save you thousands of dollars in legal fees and can give you the evidence you need to compel the court to intervene and collect on your behalf. Whether you're investigating a business or individual, an asset investigation will determine how likely you are to get money in a court case. It can tell you how much money there is and where to find it. Whether there are any filings (liens, judgments or bankruptcies) which may offset any assets which have been identified…and finally, an asset investigation can tell you how secure someone's assets actually are. In a proper Asset Search, we trace all types of assets, in compliance with federal and state law, including:
Want to locate an individual? We can help.
Teen Driving and Activity Investigations
We can help you find relatives, long lost loves, old friends, former co-workers, military buddies, non-supporting spouses or parents, uncollectible debtors, companies/businesses that have moved changed, etc. Our Locate Investigation Services are fast, affordable, professional and will help you locate just about anyone, anywhere. When available, we will even give you their phone number too. Our Locate Investigations are conducted by Investigators, NOT databases. Instant Internet Search database companies usually give you old, outdated public record information. As licensed Private Investigators, our information is more current and accurate due to our agency resources, personal and professional contacts and proprietary network of intelligence sources. We specialize in finding people through SS numbers, phone numbers, name and address searches, interviews, subject verification, surname searches, death records, and precision internet searches. It is true that certain people will present bigger challenges than others. An individual that is a drug user, fugitive, hiding from creditors, or evading child support obligations, may be more difficult to locate. The more information about the person you can give us, including: date of birth, social security number, last known address, etc., the less time and more cost effective it will be. At the end of each investigation, you will be given a detailed, professional and easy to understand Report of Findings. Our Locate Investigations include:
Is your Teenager driving too fast?
Alimony Reduction Investigations
Statistics prove that motor vehicle related accidents are the leading cause of teenage Deaths. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, Teens are 4 times more likely to be involved in a crash and 3 times more likely to die in one. Although teen inexperience plays a role, high speeds are most often to blame. Monitoring your child's driving could help you supply that added guidance that could make the difference between life and death. Is your Teenager where they say they are? Equally, knowing if your Teenager is being 100% honest with you regarding their whereabouts can illuminate potential problems before they incubate. It is much easier, both financially and emotionally, to avoid would-be issues than to solve deep rooted troubles. How a GPS unit can help... GPS tracking units are devices that, once attached to a vehicle can determine and record location positions at programmed intervals via the Global Positioning System. The collected information can than be stored within the tracking unit or, using a cellular (GPRS) radio or satellite, can be transmitted to an internet connected computer. The current and previous locations are then pinpointed on a map and are available in real time while simultaneously being recorded for future analyzation. While in place, the data will show locations, times and speeds traveled. Detailed reports of routes taken and time spent at specific destinations can be made available on a daily basis. Attached magnetically and measuring less than 15cm in length and 5cm wide, these devices can be covertly deployed and removed in mere seconds. Do not worry that this is an invasion of privacy. As a parent, it is not only your right but your duty to use all of the tools available to keep your children safe. For more information or to get started, contact us today.

Nanny/Caregiver Investigations
Premarital Screening is NOT a matter of Distrust or Disloyalty. Private Investigators perform thousands of these investigations every year. It is very common practice for individuals who wish to plan and prepare to have a good life. Learning all you can about your fiancé, may prevent you from having an expensive Divorce down the road. Add children to this mix and you can be attached to this person for the rest of your life. Shouldn't you know more about them? EVERYONE should perform a Background Investigation REGARDLESS of how well they know each other. Among a multitude of other facts, you can expose Previous Marriages, Bankruptcies, Judgments, Infidelity and Criminal behavior. Not conducting a Prenuptial Investigation can lead to LOSS of Property, Money and Security. Obviously, it could be CRITICAL to uncover the past CRIMINAL and/or VIOLENT behavior of a potential Parent/Step Parent to ensure the safety of future children and children from previous relationships. Feel the SAFE and SECURE when taking that next BIG step in your life. A Prenuptial Background Check can prove INNOCENCE as well as GUILT and many of our client’s walk away with the "Peace of Mind" that helps them build better marriages. We can also perform Future In-Law Background checks if your spouse's parents are expected to be closely involved in your day to day marriage or the raising of your children. Discreet and Confidential. All of our Premarital Investigations are completely confidential and conducted in a discreet manner. Your Girlfriend/Boyfriend/Future Spouse need never know the investigation occurred. If you choose to inform them, we ask that you do not alert them to the investigation while in progress.

Before you trust them with your children, trust us to get the information you need.
Prove Cohabitation Investigations
We are all too familiar with the video footage of concerned parents who place hidden cameras in their home to view how the Nanny they hired is caring for their children. The images of helpless babies being violently shaken or of toddlers being slapped and berated are indelibly etched in our minds. Less reported but equally as disturbing is the video footage of the physical and emotional abuse of elders placed in the hands of "Senior Caregivers." Prevent abuse before it starts. Although we think Nanny Cams are wonderful monitoring tools, just one violent incident could cause irreparable damage or even death. Doesn't it make sense to know everything you could about this person before they enter your home? Contact us today to initiate a Background Investigation on your Prospective Caretaker. Call us at 727.458.2711. A frightening number of resumes and employment applications contain falsified information. We can verify their Social Security Number, check their Driving Record and search Criminal and Civil court Records. We can uncover a history of fraud, violence, reckless driving, frivolous lawsuits and other criminal behavior. The agency that employs your Nanny can also be investigated and their credentials checked. If desired, we can even help you with setting up “Nanny Cams” in hidden places in your home. Make an informed decision about the person you are entrusting with the safety and well-being of your loved ones.
Proof of Cohabitation is usually needed in family court to assist in child custody matters, compensation claims for child support, spousal maintenance, alimony matters, and other disputes.
False Allegations of Abuse
Our Cohabitation Investigation can reveal the periods of time that people are living together, the intensity of the relationship, and other valuable unknown facts. All of our evidence is court admissible. You will be given a detailed, easy to understand Report of Findings, all photo or video evidence collected and our professional well spoken investigators can supply testimony if needed. We work with mothers, fathers, spouses, Attorneys, Courts, Mediators and Arbitrators.

Our Cohabitation Investigation Services include:
Making an accusation of child abuse has been described as the "Perfect weapon" in family court.
Worker's Compensation Investigations
Child Custody cases are often muddied up with accusations leveled by one party against another. Allegations can be made maliciously to punish and gain leverage over the other parent or to limit access to their child out of a genuine concern for their welfare. Many parents begin throwing false accusations around the courtroom simply in order to win their case. These false allegations have lead to gross miscarriages of justice, convicted innocent people, destroyed families and ruined childhoods. As private investigators, we are often faced with the task of "catching people in the act." When someone has been falsely accused of something, our mission becomes more subjective. We must prove a negative, prove what didn't happen. Chimera Investigative Group can help gather evidence of proper conduct to refute the allegations. We want to help you make sure you have adequate time with your child and we will work with you to document your true relationship with your child both in action and emotion. Although the burden of proof should fall on the shoulders of the accusers, we can take some of the weight of this daunting task that lies ahead. We can help people and parent's who are suffering from issues such as false child abuse allegations, false allegations of child neglect, false allegations of sexual abuse, false allegations of molestation, false allegations of incest, false allegations of physical abuse, false allegations of emotional abuse, false allegations of mental abuse, false allegations of parental alienation syndrome, and more.
