A U.S. client asked us to locate a woman he had dated during college more than ten years earlier. He only remembered her first name, approximate age at that time, and the city where they studied. He did not have her current contact information and could not find her through common social networks.
Using open-source data, we reconstructed likely graduation years, cross-referenced alumni lists, and reviewed archived university materials. Through indirect associations in older group photos, we identified a probable last name.
With the full name, we located several candidates across multiple states. After verifying age, location history, and professional footprint, we confirmed the correct individual and provided the client with her current social media profile.
The client did not ask us to make contact. The goal was to locate the profile and confirm identity, which was completed successfully.
