Although the most widely read stories about pi work are about what they discovered during surveillance, there is another possibility to be explored-
What if there’s nothing to find? What if, for example, your partner isn’t cheating?
Of course, Space coast Investigations has had its cases where there was nothing to discover. For example, a woman wanted her husband followed because she believed he was cheating. However, it turns out there was nothing going on; after being watched for sometime, the husband never engaged in adulterous activity.
In another very recent example, we actually had a set up going as planned- a man we were doing surveillance on for his fiancé was hitting on one of our PI’s, Gina. He was telling her how beautiful she was, and Gina thought “oh no..” she really wanted good news for her client. The man actually ended up circling the conversation to his fiancé- he started professing how much he loved her, and how he would never do anything to hurt her. However, he knows he has a problem with flirting that he needed to work on.
While others may see this as a failure, it is quite the opposite- this is still a successful investigation. A conclusion was reached, and now the wife can take the next step; why did I think he was cheating? What’s going on that I need to address to fix my suspicions?
