FOUND BIOLOGICAL FATHER
"I was adopted as a child and after 18 years I regained contact with my lost biological father using Net Detective. I searched your database for him - after digging elsewhere and finding nothing - and was amazed to find that he lived just 15 minutes away from me. We've since been in contact and have met for lunch. I was so impressed with Net Detective that I eventually joined the company!"
- Michael E. McKinney, TX
FOUND BEST FRIEND
"I had always wondered what happened to one of my best friends from high school. I found nothing about him when I tried the online search engines, and he wasn't on any of the social networking websites. But when I tried finding him with Net Detective, he turned up immediately! I learned that he's married and living in Kansas. Net Detective made it really easy to answer those 'what ever happened to...?' questions."
-Erica P. Apopka, FL
