The following story is based on a real case file from Probity Investigations. Names, locations, and certain events have been altered to protect the privacy of all individuals involved.
Not all of our cases begin with a smoking gun. Sometimes, it starts with a simple request from a concerned client — a wife from out of town who had a nagging feeling something was wrong. That was the situation with our client, a woman from Illinois, who hired us to investigate her husband, referred to here as “Mr. C.” He was in the Marietta and Norcross, Georgia, area for a sales meeting with his employer, and she suspected he might be using the business trip as a cover for something more personal.
Our assignment was straightforward: conduct surveillance to document the subject’s activities over a two-day period. The initial surveillance revealed a seemingly ordinary business trip, with Mr. C staying at a hotel in Norcross and attending meetings. However, as evening approached, the story began to change.
From Business Trip to Betrayal
That’s when the real work of a private investigator begins. Our team confirmed Mr. C’s movements, tracking his transfer to a different hotel in Buckhead, Atlanta. It wasn’t long before our lead investigator observed him meeting with two professional female escorts. From a fine dining restaurant in Buckhead to a martini bar, our cameras were rolling, documenting his every move. We even captured video of him and one of the women, identified as “Tylor,” embracing and kissing in the back of a private limousine. Later, both escorts were seen remaining with him in his hotel room overnight.
The Reckoning
The evidence was undeniable, but the client was distraught. She flew into Atlanta the next day to meet with Probity Investigations’ lead investigator. The pain in her eyes was palpable. She wanted more than a report; she wanted a final, definitive action.
Our investigator cautioned her, explaining that our role is to gather facts, not to intervene. But she insisted, and together, they devised a plan that would bring her husband’s deception to light while ensuring her safety and control over the situation.
Our investigator drove her to the corporate offices of her husband’s employer in Norcross. She clutched the photos captured during our surveillance and, with a new sense of resolve, walked into the building. As her husband presented in a high-stakes sales meeting with his colleagues, she quietly entered the conference room.
The faces of the sales team turned to her in confusion. Without a word, she laid the pictures on the polished conference table—clear, undeniable evidence of her husband’s activities from the night before. The meeting came to an abrupt halt. As every eye in the room fixed on the images, Mr. C sat, utterly speechless.
