Tweeker Seeker

I didn’t get a whole lot done today. At least not in the field. We have the ability to search the county jails for people that we are looking for. So if I am looking for someone named Joe Smith I periodically check the jails through out California and sometimes the prison systems. If I find them then there’s no reason for me to continue looking for them. So today I spent some time checking the jails for my defendants. Sometimes I am glad they were picked up by Police and sometimes I’m not. Usually I am glad when I am not making progress.

There are a couple of people that I really want to get myself and I’m looking forward to arresting them. One of them, let’s call him EZ, molested his 6 year old niece. I have to be careful not to go into too much detail but this guy is a piece of garbage. He was baby sitting his niece and his daughter and decided, after a few beers, to put his hands on her.

During the police investigation it was determined that this was not the first time he’s done this. The last time was with his own 7 year old daughter. Since then his first wife dumped him and, get this, warned his current wife. She either didn’t believe it or doesn’t care. I have spoken to her and she’s living in denial.

Anyway, he decided not to go to court and I’ve been looking for him for about 3 months. Some of his family members are helping but I’m concerned he may have fled back to Mexico. This is more common then most people think – Mexicans coming here illegally (or otherwise), committing crime and then fleeing back to Mexico. More on that later.

I’ve taken a special interest in capturing EZ and it’s a high bond amount so I am spending more time developing and following leads. I have some pretty good information that he is running with a friend and might still be in the area. I am working with the police detective that worked the case and have a good relationship with one of his family members. She trusts me and is convinced that he needs to be in jail.

As always, everyone’s innocent until proven guilty…

I sitting in my car, alone in Santa Clara looking to a homeless female woman who we will call CT. This is the second time we’ve bailed out CT and the second time she’s missed court. The last time she was bailed out for possession of meth and we eventually found her in Santa Clara, near Central Park when she spends time hanging out with the other homeless people.

This time she got caught stealing from a local supermarket and we bailed her out again. I wasn’t surprised as we are notorious for re-bailing someone who has already proven a lack of concern for the judicial system. CT on the other hand is homeless and laws and court mean nothing to her. I don’t believe she set out to miss court, she probably has no idea she even had a court date. Her only concern is how she’s going to eat, where to sleep and where’s the next score’s coming from.

After many months of thinking about this blog, I finally decided to do it. So today is my first day and this is my first post. I guess you can tell from the title and description that I am a bounty hunter. I work for a bail company in California and I spend my days, and some nights and weekends looking for people who, for whatever reason, failed to show up in court. My job is to bring them back to court. I have a partner who I work with and he shall remain nameless.

I am not going to spend a bunch of time explaining the bail system to you. If you follow my posts will will get a pretty good idea of how it works. I am going to spend my time telling you about the people I hunt and how I spend my days.

Ok. This is it for now. I have to get to work, more later…
