FILE 01 / TEST

Could you pass the job?0 / 4

Four scenarios. Pick how you'd handle each. Then see how Thomas actually did it.

CASE 01

Skip Trace

Someone's gone off the grid and doesn't want to be found. Where do you start?

Thomas:

"The people they still love. A man changes his name, his city, his face — he doesn't change who he calls when it all goes wrong. Find that person, then wait."

CASE 02

Asset Recovery

A man swears under oath he's flat broke. His driveway disagrees. What gives him up?

Thomas:

"The toys. Broke men don't make payments on a Carrera — and I know what one costs and what it sounds like idling. Follow the spending, not the story."

CASE 03

Surveillance

Six hours into a stakeout and nothing has moved. What's your real edge?

Thomas:

"Patience. I keep a garden — you can't rush a tomato and you can't rush a mark. I've out-waited men who swore they were patient. They weren't."

CASE 04

The Close

One phone call to bring someone in. What do you lead with?

Thomas:

"Silence. People who've run a long time are exhausted — be the first one who just listens. Then I go home to Donna and the dog. That's the part that keeps the job from running you."

Final Verdict

FILE 02 / SUBJECT

Three decades. One standard.

FIELD OPS

TRS · File Photo FL · 1996–Present

Three decades working cases most people never see — federal file numbers, international cooperation, the real stuff. Contracted with the FBI. Cooperation with Scotland Yard. Commendations from three governments.

"Pressure, politics, timelines — noise. Stay with the evidence." — T. R. Steed

On the side: founder of CaseTrackerLaw, a platform widely used in debt-collection and legal receivables. Six years in the U.S. Army Air National Guard. Licensed pilot. Based in South Florida with his partner, P.I. Poe.

FILE 03 / RECORD

Selected operations.

01 Resolved

German government commendation — international financial fraud resolved.

A multi-year fraud case worked with German authorities — and a foreign government's commendation to show for it.

Federal · Intl

02 Cleared

Scotland Yard cooperation on an international money-laundering case.

Chased the money across the Atlantic, hand in hand with the Yard — clean enough to hold up on both sides.

International

03 Seized

$5M+ in assets seized. 6,000-plant narcotics operation dismantled.

One clean timeline, the assets gone, and the grow shut down for good.

Federal · State

04 Convicted

Conviction of a political figure, via multi-agency federal effort.

Months of multi-agency work, one airtight filing — and a conviction that stuck.

Federal

05 Est. 1996

Founded CaseTrackerLaw — legal-receivables software.

Built it for our own caseload; other firms came asking. Still running across the industry today.

FILE 04 / PARTNER

Meet P.I. Poe.

Every good investigator has a partner. His has four legs and strong opinions about the mailman.

Keeps the office grounded. First to greet a client at the door. Half the job, really.
