Unusual Trace: From Salgado Investigations Case Files

Unusual Trace: From Salgado Investigations Case Files

I was having my sunday dinner one weekend, when I received a telephone call from a lady who was out of her mind with worry about her eldery father who had gone missing from her house in Devon earlier in the day.

My new client explained that her mother had died a couple of years ago and that her father was often confused and did not remember that she had died. My client believed that her father may have made his way back to his old house in Redhill in his car.

The client requested that I drive to Redhill and locate her father while they would be making their way from Devon but that it would take them at least 3 hours to get there.

After agreeing a price I arrived at her father’s old house in 20 minutes. The current occupants informed me that an old man had knocked on the door but they had turned him away.

I began driving and checking every pub in the area. After 20 minutes of this, the client rang me to tell me that her father had rung her mobile from a BT phone box but that she did not get the number.

After a bit of research with BT, who it seemed had taken most of the public phone boxes out of the area, i discovered that there were only two left in that area.

Naturally i eventualy found the old man at the second phone box and waited with him for approximately 2 hours until the my client and her brother arrived.

I went home after a job well done.
