22 Private Investigators Confess To The Weirdest, Most Messed Up Cases They Ever Had

17. The Last Case

It was one of my last cases that I worked on. It was for a child custody/paternity case.This case was the one that made me rethink what I was doing and I got very disturbed by what I was asked to do. This is the case that made me stop being a PI

Our client was denying that the child in question was actually his and was fighting the child support case. He believed that the mother of the child was a serial adulterer. So much so that he spent THOUSANDS on the case for us to make sure there was evidence to support his claim.

The icing on the “shit cake” was when my case manager told me that client wanted video evidence that the child did not look like him. The client told us that we had to record the child at play.

So here I am, beside a playground, in a completely limo tinted car, videotaping a 9-year-old. I couldn’t have felt worse about my life choices. To this day I have never felt like such a creep before. I hated that case and the case manager.

Two weeks later I handed in my resignation.

19. Ruining The Romance

I was asked by a lady to investigate her husband because he might be cheating on her. He used to come back late at night smelling of women’s perfume. Turns out he was taking dancing classes and he didn’t tell his wife.
