his norm, investigate.

of some sort, but should not be taken as
absolute that he is cheating on you.
 You will need factual information to
substantiate his suspicious behaviors.

SECTION THREE: HIRING A PRIVATE
INVESTIGATOR
GUIDELINES ON WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR AND
BENEFITS OF HIRING ONE


WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR WHEN
HIRING
 Licensed by the SIRD (Security Industry
Regulatory Department), a branch of the
Singapore Police Department.
 When the investigator was licensed and when
the license expires.
 If any disciplinary action has been taken
against the investigator.
 If there has been any complaints regarding
his or her professional conduct.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR CONTD.

 Ask for referrals when you go for the
consultative meetings and verify them.
 The investigator’s professional and academic
certification.
 The number of years (experience) the private
eye has on infidelity investigations.
 The qualifications of the people who will help
him or her in conducting the investigation.


WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR CONTD.

 The rapport you have with the investigator
(Does he or she make you feel comfortable
and confident in his or her investigative
abilities?).
 The price the investigator quotes for the
investigative services (Are they reasonable?).
 Mode of payment if the investigator gets
contracted.
 The timeline proposed for satisfactory
completion of the infidelity investigation.

WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR CONTD.

 If the investigator has a professional indemnity
cover.
 Ask your attorney to read through the contract
before signing so as to identify any loop holes or
any extra, hidden charges.
 Integrity and trustworthiness of the investigator
(How confidential they are about details of the
previous referral cases).
 The mode and frequency of communication
during the investigation (Will she/he keep you in
the loop?).


BENEFITS OF HIRING A PRIVATE
INVESTIGATOR
 He or she is licensed to snoop around; if you
are caught trailing the other woman, you will
be slapped with a stalking charge.
 The investigator will provide you with solid
evidence (audio, visual and audio-visual) that
will inform your decision.
 She/he will be objective and clear headed so
will provide you with unbiased facts and
information regarding the inveatigation.

BENEFITS OF HIRING A PI

 She/he has the experience & expertise to get
information from various sources (Some of
which you had no idea existed).
 She/he has the requisite equipment to collect
the evidence needed to prove or disprove
your husband’s faithfulness.
 She/he can be an expert witness in case you
land in divorce court.


BENEFITS OF HIRING A PI

 She/he has the innate ability to detect dangerous
situations and the knowledge of how to diffuse
the various scenarios associated with infidelity
investigations.
 It is cost effective as she/he knows when and
where to get certain information (due to lack of
experience you will be running around like a
headless chicken!).
 If your husband turns out to be innocent, you will
have peace of mind and he will be none the wiser
on your suspicions and doubts.

TIPS AND TRICKS THE PI WILL USE
DURING THE INFIDELITY
INVESTIGATIONS

SECTION FOUR


THE PAPER TRAIL

 Involves tracking and analysis of phone bills,
bank statements and credit card receipts as well
as ATM withdrawals to build a profile of your
husband’s calling and spending habits.
 The phone bill will be analyzed on the number of
calls made and received to all the numbers on
the bill and the duration of each call.
 You will be given the report to identify the
numbers you are not familiar with and the PI will
dig deeper to find more information on them
and the person on the other end of the line.

THE PAPER TRAIL

 The PI will also give you an analysis on the
call duration of each call on top of the time
the calls were made.
 Calls made late at night or are more than 2
minutes in duration (& you have no idea who
the number belongs to or is unlisted or
unknown), will be investigated further.
 All calls that are business related will be
eliminated and all personal calls investigated
further.

THE PAPER TRAIL

 The PI will do a background check on your husband’s
financials & credit information (This will help PI in
determining his spending pattern, what he buys &
where he buys his purchases).
 The credit & financial report will be presented to you
and you will peruse over it & point out unfamiliar &
suspicious purchases & spending.
 The PI will follow the credit trail of the suspicious
&unfamiliar purchases & spending and look out at
the store’s and ATM video CCTV to determine
whether he was alone or accompanied by another
person during his spending and buying spree.

THE PAPER TRAIL

 After identifying the person who was with
him (if he was accompanied), they set up a
surveillance on them.
 They will also look at the copies of the
receipts of purchase to see whether he has
another listed address or bank account you
have no idea existed and track the
transactions made from them.


THE PAPER TRAIL

 The paper trail will help in narrowing down
the individual your husband calls the most
(for personal & not business reasons) as well
as where that gift you thought he bought for
you ended up.
 The next task is setting up a surveillance or
doing some digital forensics to come up with
more information and clarifications.


USE OF DIGITAL FORENSICS

 Cheating has gone hi-tech due to
technological advances. (The old lipstick on
his collar or smelling of another woman’s
perfume may not come into play).
 Your husband may be having an online or
emotional affair behind your back. (He may
be coming home early and helping out
around the house but has a side dish
somewhere in the virtual world).



 The PI will use digital forensics to uncover
online infidelity.
 Digital forensics is the assessment of digital
media in a forensically sound way with the
aim of identifying, preserving, recovering,
analyzing and presenting facts and opinions
with reference to the information obtained.
 Involves e-mail tracking, phone surveillance,
data recovery & Computer Forensics.


 The items subjected to digital forensics are:
computers, mobile phones, digital cameras,
USB storage devices like flash disks, portable
hard disks, and GPS enabled devices as well
as other more sophisticated digital media like
game consoles. (Depending oh how clever
and shrewd your husband may be).
 Requires a PI who has vast knowledge in
computer science and ICT.


USE OF DIGITAL FORENSICS:
PHONE SURVEILLANCE
 Use of phone surveillance software to access
all information stored on the phone.
 The PI will be able to listen to & record all
incoming and outgoing calls, Received & Sent
SMS, duration of calls as well as the phone
book.
 The PI will also be able to track the
movement of your husband through the GPS
tracker function on the surveillance software.

PHONE SURVEILLANCE
 The PI will analyze all the information
collected from the phone and make factual
and logical conclusions from the data
collected.
 Any evidence and red flags will be presented
to you on top of a copy of all data recorded by
the phone surveillance software.
 Depending on the information uncovered,
you may find your husband guilty or off the
hook for being unfaithful/

DATA RECOVERY
 This is the process of salvaging or restoring
data from damaged, failed, corrupted or
inaccessible storage media, such as: hard disk
drives, CDs, flash drives, storage tapes, RAID,
DVDs, when it cannot be accessed normally.
 The PI will be able to retrieve and analyze all
the recovered data: music, pictures, word
documents, databases et al, and make a
report on all the activities you have been up
to using your digital devices.


DATA RECOVERY
 Depending on the information retrieved, the PI
will be able to piece together and come up with
facts and evidence on what your husband has
been occupying himself with.
 You may just discover that your husband has
another family, has a gambling problem or has a
dark side you never knew about. The information
retrieved may uncover something way worse
than him cheating on you.
 So keep an open mind and be ready for anything
and every thing.

USE OF DIGITAL
FORENSICS:COMPUTER FORENSICS
 the examination of computer devices and
media in a forensically sound way with the
intent of identifying, preserving, recovering,
analyzing and presenting facts and opinions
with reference to the information obtained.
 The PI will usually retrieve information from
the computer’s hard disk drive, flash drives as
well as the external hard disk drives and
storage devices like the CD and DVDs.


COMPUTER FORENSICS
 Looks at the web history, list of downloaded
files, last accessed files, email messages that
have been deleted, deleted computer files,
faxes sent and received on the computer,
photographs and all other media that can be
stored, transferred and used the computer
and storage devices & on top of that, a list to
show when the files were deleted.
 E-mail tracking may also be considered as a
part of computer forensics.


COMPUTER FORENSICS
 The PI will analyze all these information and
present to you all activities carried out on the
computer.
 You will see all the site visited (& discover your
husband has a thing for pornography or other
sexual addictions), emails sent and received,
photos that were deleted (he may have been
dating several women at the same time; now
you know!), or may even have typed several love
letters till the wee hours of the night/

COMPUTER FORENSICS
 You may also discover he has gone on several
romantic escapades(claiming they were
business trips), from the travel reservations
he made online.
 The data recovered may show he is planning
a surprise anniversary party or a second
honeymoon for the 2 of you (that’s why he
has password protected the computer &
deleted all web history).


SURVEILLANCE

 surveillance may be defined as a PI monitoring
the behaviour, activities, movements and
exchange of information of a husband under
investigation so as to gather data for purposes of
deducing whether the husband is cheating on his
wife or not.
 The types of surveillance that may be used by a
private investigator include: computer
surveillance, telephone surveillance, aerial
surveillance, biometric surveillance, surveillance
cameras, and social network analysis as well as
vehicle and foot surveillance.


SURVEILLANCE: TYPES THE PI
USES
 Computer surveillance: email tracking &
exchange of information using all computer
devices.
 Telephone surveillance: tapping into the
husband’s telephone & listening in on his
calls.
 Aerial surveillance: collection of video or
visual imagery using an airborne device like a
helicopter or a satellite

SURVEILLANCE: TYPES THE PI
USES.
 Social network analysis: the PI monitors your
husband’s activities on all social networks &
analysing the data collected to come up with a
picture on who interacts with online and what his
interests are, his thoughts and how he presents
himself to social network community.
 Foot and Vehicle Surveillance: Following your
husband on foot or by road, taking photos and
recording his movements & activities using
surveillance devices.

SURVEILLANCE
 Whichever the type of surveillance
the PI will use, he will be able to
bring you audio (from telephone
tapping & listening devices), visual
(photography and stills from GPS
trackers), & audio-visual (video
recorders, mini cameras) evidence
on your husband’s activities.
 The PI will give you a surveillance
report (done in an objective and a
logical sound manner, free from
bias) on his/her discovery during
the surveillance.


TIPS & TRICKS CONCLUSION

 The PI will use all or one of the investigative
methods (paper trail, digital forensics &
surveillance) to get all the evidence needed.
 Mainly uses surveillance hand in hand with either
of the 2 aforementioned methods to come up
with a complete report on whether or not your
husband is cheating.
 The evidence collected may allude to another
crime he may be taking part in or personal
problem your husband may be having and
unwilling to share.

TIPS & TRICKS CONCLUSION

 You should keep an open mind so as to come
up with a way forward depending on the
information uncovered (especially if it
uncovers something worse like cheating e.g.
child trafficking, fraud, child pornography) &
with the help of the attorney and PI, make a
sound decision.
 It is better to hire a PI when you have any
suspicions, than confront your husband
without any solid proof and be sorry later.
