Private investigator: "Everyone is meant to be found" | Forensic Files

so how many criminals have you captured would you say I'd say it's it's in the hundreds I'm sure um if
I had to guess a number over 500 at least so you you reason that if you've been able to capture criminals On
The Run mhm you could solve this mystery yeah I figured that uh if I can find somebody in another
state I'm sure I can find someone that's sitting still or missing or a female everyone is meant to be
found uh another bondsman that worked for me uh I got frustrated one time and I was losing it I was losing my cool and
uh he calmed me down said look just remember everybody's meant to be found you going to find them and um so from
that point on my m is everyone's meant to be F so how big of a story was this it was
humongous uh it was all over the national news uh it got attention everywhere um why do you think that is
because she was young female she Fort Brag Soldier um you know it's a story and I think all
the media just attracted to it because of you got a sex offender you got Kelly Bordeaux she's a soldier and then you
got a bar so all three things don't make a good mix so it's a good story you've never done this before I know that and I
was a loner and I'm always a loner and what I mean by that is I do things on my own I like doing things my way and you
know when you got all these Searchers out there you got you know you see it on the news everybody's walking in the
woods um I like to go out there on my own and figure things out for my own when I go hunt someone down I don't like
anyone that's with me helping me to put their two cents in work cuz I like to focus on what I'm thinking and what I
want to do and how I want to do it and um I guess it's controlling I reckon but I'm I'm good at figuring out people
reading people and and knowing what their next move's going to be or guessing what their next move's going to
be
