Missing Persons | Child Recovery | Theft | Mantrailing

The Kurtz Detective Agency Stuttgart investigates cases involving missing persons — including runaway children, missing heirs (heir tracing), and relatives who have fallen out of contact. The more information you can provide, the higher our chances of success.

Recovery of Children and Adolescents after Abduction, Running Away, or Parental Child Abduction

It is by no means rare for children, particularly teenagers, to leave home of their own accord. In such cases, our Stuttgart private investigators begin by discreetly investigating the surroundings of the missing person. Often, hints or clues about the plan have been shared with classmates or friends.

 

However, missing children and adolescents are not always runaways. Child abduction by third parties or by one parent remains a highly sensitive issue — one that continues to capture public attention, as even uninvolved parents deeply empathize with those affected.

Child abduction and parental child removal are every parent’s worst nightmare.

Recovery of Stolen Property by Stuttgart Detectives

Our detectives also investigate missing property — most often cases of theft or burglary. Using various methods of forensic evidence analysis, our Stuttgart detectives are frequently able to reconstruct the course of events, trace the perpetrator, and recover the missing assets.

 

One of the oldest investigative techniques in criminal detection is the use of scent-tracking dogs — famously relied upon by Sherlock Holmes and his crossbreed Toby.

 

In recent decades, however, the use of scent dogs in criminal investigations has become less common, with their deployment focusing mainly on search and rescue missions. Yet the method known as mantrailing — the tracking of individuals by scent-specific search dogs — has reintroduced a powerful tool to modern investigations, offering at times spectacular results. The Kurtz Detective Agency Stuttgart works closely with experienced mantrailing handlers and is happy to advise you: +49 711 7153 0028.
