What would motivate someone to hire a private eye?

Some motivations are mundane, even yawn-worthy, while others do it to satisfy a disturbing, eerie need.

Perhaps it's a need for closure on a cold case or family who never gave up on the search for their missing loved one. Maybe they're digging up a hidden truth or lie. They're seeking protection or the validation that they, in fact, aren't the crazy ones.

Idahoans can commission a private eye for virtually any reason.

Sometimes PI's are hired for unsavory reasons. 

We'd be naive to ignore the more sinister kinds of people who might hire a PI. Some are scorned lovers and spouses wanting to confront the mistress who defiled their marriage or neighbors with suspicious concerns about the new homeowner next door.

Unhinged stalkers, sexual predators, murderers and thieves—PI's aren't pulling background checks on their clients. They're there for the job you hired them to do. Can they turn down cases with a dark and seedy underbelly, sure, but at their own discretion.

The gallery below dives into the eeriest, most bizarre but legal ways an Idaho PI could be monitoring you right now.
