Case Study: How We Helped a Family Reunite After 4 Years
Overview
A mother came to Lucid Group Inc. after spending years searching for her adult son, who had disappeared without contact. Law enforcement had opened a report, but the trail had gone cold — until she reached out to us.
Client’s Challenge
The missing person had last been seen over four years ago in another state. He had no active phone, no social media, no employment trail, and his last known address was abandoned. Traditional searches had come up empty.
Our Approach
-
Conducted a comprehensive background refresh using national databases and proprietary research tools
-
Traced digital footprints through alternate aliases, email handles, and dormant accounts
-
Cross-referenced utility records and driver license histories
-
Narrowed down new address activity to a rural area out of state
-
Coordinated with a trusted local contact for discreet, in-person verification
Outcome
Within three weeks, we located the client’s son, alive and living under a new identity. At the family's request, we facilitated a safe and confidential reconnection. The reunion took place quietly, with respect for privacy and healing.
What Made It Work
This was not about luck. It was about patience, persistence, and the kind of investigative thinking honed over decades of law enforcement and task force work. We combined on-the-ground contacts with digital insight to find what others had missed.
The Family’s Response
"We had no idea if he was alive or gone. You gave us more than information — you gave us peace of mind. Whether he was ready to come home or not, we finally knew the truth."

CASE STUDY: HOW A $499 EXECUTIVE BACKGROUND CHECK PREVENTED A SIX-FIGURE HIRING MISTAKE
Overview
A Miami-based financial firm was preparing to hire a new executive. On paper, the candidate appeared flawless — strong resume, clean public profile, and references who all checked out. Still, the CEO had a gut feeling and reached out to Lucid Group Inc. for a deeper background check.
Client’s Concern
The position involved access to sensitive financial data and full visibility into investor portfolios. The CEO wanted to be 100% confident before onboarding someone at that level.
Our Approach
-
Verified all employment history and professional licenses
-
Conducted in-depth court record search (civil and federal)
-
Performed digital forensics of public profiles and online reputation
-
Cross-referenced previous companies and press mentions
-
Flagged undisclosed lawsuits related to fraud and investor abuse
Outcome
The investigation uncovered two separate federal-level lawsuits involving financial misconduct, both settled out of court and not disclosed during the interview process. The firm passed on the candidate — and potentially avoided an expensive internal crisis.
What Made It Work
Most background checks don’t go beyond criminal databases and a basic resume match. At Lucid Group Inc., we go deeper — into court archives, press sources, licensing boards, and subtle online traces that most systems miss.
Client Feedback
“This saved us from hiring someone who could have destroyed our reputation. It wasn’t just a background check — it was business insurance.”
