Just Joined / Licensed PI

[ThePortlandPI]

Greetings from the Pacific Northwest!

I am a licensed Private Investigator and Agency Principal in the State of Washington through the Department of Licensing, a licensed Private Investigator in the State of Oregon through the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training and a licensed Private Detective in the State of Alaska through the Municipality of Anchorage.

I had intended on pursuing a license in Montana and California however Covid-19 threw a wrench into our lives and those plans were put on hold until further notice.

The primary focus of my investigative work centers around criminal defense matters, skip tracing for litigation and often long lost family / friend locates. Process service on difficult or evasive defendants and work place investigations are among my lesser utilized services that are also offered.

In my free time I research local and regional cold case homicide and missing person matters that are of particular interest to me. Among these are the Plew / Alioth double homicide and the Warren Forrest suspected missing victims.

I read something about verifying licenses on this group, which i'll pursue here in the near future. So far, this group looks to be quite interesting!

Just thought i'd introduce myself. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Nice to have you here! My family is from Portland and surrounding areas, so I know who to call if something ever happens to them!

I am curious if you've heard of the case of Noah DeWitt. He was a OSU student found dead in a locked water treatment well after running out of his community house without shoes on(according to his roomates), and I'll never believe he put himself in there. His poor mom never got any real answers.

Of current cases where your real or intellectual contribution would be so valuable is the disappearance of Allyson Watterson. There is a lot of red tape LE seems to be up against where a PI may be more successful.

Portland and the surrounding areas are interesting! Not fond of the traffic personally. Its funny, a decade ago when I was playing in bands I used to complain about rush hour and looking back I realized I had no right to complain back then. Its a fun place to do street photography as well when time allows.

I do remember the Noah DeWitt case, that was a story that was very hot in the news until he was found deceased. I haven't personally read any specific reports on the case from LE, but the entire thing was very suspicious and made little sense. My gut hunch was that he didn't put himself in there either personally.

The Allyson Watterson case is a very big one out here, just like Kyron Horman. The family did retain a PI, though I am unsure who they are using out there. Her boyfriend was sentenced for unrelated charges but the position nearly everyone around here holds is that he is directly involved. Apparently there is a friend of the family, or someone of that nature, out there who keeps taking down the missing person signs that were put up as well which is a big red flag...

Welcome to WebSleuths!

Thank you! I'll read on that one and work on the verification this next week.

Welcome to WebSleuths. I'm sure your experience and knowledge will be most welcome here.

Thank you! I love what I do, even on the days that I am stuck wondering "did I really read that someone did that?". The criminal defense aspect gets a little gruesome sometimes.

So glad to have you here @ThePortlandPI! There are so many interesting cases here at WS, I have no doubt you'll find a case or two that draws you're attention! And there's certainly a number of them in the Pacific Northwest. Kyron Horman, Lindsay Baum, Ashanti Conde, Meighan Cordie, Karissa and Billy Fretwell, and many, many more.

I have been following a case since 2017, involving the murders of two young girls in Delphi Indiana. We would love a set of fresh eyes to join us!
