Keep the camera rolling

The other day I had a case where I had a photo of the subject and a person exited the residence but they did not resemble the person in the photo.  I decided to take video of the person anyways.  The person walked around the property and then returned inside.  I then looked at the photo and the person still did not look like the subject.  I returned for surveillance at a later date and followed the same person to a doctor’s appointment.  It turns out that this person was the subject!  How could this happen?  This person looked nothing like the photo.  Actually this happens more frequently than you would expect.  Sometimes photos can actually screw you up.  The subject may have changed their hair style, or put on weight, etc.  One big curve ball can be ball caps.  A ball cap can totally change the look of a person so be careful.  My advice is to always roll video when you’re in doubt just in case.  Also, try to pinpoint a distinct characteristic on the person’s face like a scare, mole, square chin, long nose, etc. If you are in need of a private investigator in Utah please give Salt Lake Investigations a call.
