Case Study #1 - The Girlfriend's Toy Boy
It was a case of misjudgment on the client's part, about ten months
ago, Eric and a group of his friends wanted to have some fun outside
of Singapore and at the same time, Eric was looking for love so they
chose to go to Bangkok, Thailand.
Eric was told by his friends that Thai girls would make great wives as
they are polite, gentle and more docile. But Eric had no idea that not
all Thai girls would make good wives or girlfriend for that matter.
And he learned that the hard way.
The group of friends was in a bar in
the streets of Bangkok, they got to know a few Thai girls from the
bar, Eric was smitten by Pooi, one of the girls that approached the
group, Eric's friends just wanted to get laid and didn't mind forking
out cash for it. Eric wanted something more but he never knew that
relationship was never on Pooi's mind.
The first few weeks with Pooi was great for Eric, she was like what
Eric's friends told him, gentle, polite and very obedient. Eric liked
her so much that he willingly gives her monthly allowances for
shopping and pays for her flight to and from Bangkok. As the weeks
became months, Pooi's hunger for more money also started to show.
Whenever Pooi called from Bangkok, it would definitely be for Eric to
send money to Thailand, and the reasons would always be different,
sometimes it will be for her sick mother in Chiang Rai or her brother
badly injured needing to see the doctor.
It goes on and on and the amount will escalate gradually. The day Eric
finally decide to calculate how much have he spent on his Thai
girlfriend was the day he engaged Tanglin Investigations to check up
on his girlfriend. Within a few days, the investigating officer came
back and had ample evidence from photographs to videos that Pooi had
actually took Eric's money and gave it to her gigolo in Bangkok.
Eric blamed himself for this incident, saying that he shouldn't have
been too gullible when having a relationship with a Thai girl. Ever
since the incident Eric had been careful when knowing girls in
Thailand, He has a new girlfriend now and she is also a Thai, but the
checks we made on her shows that she is clean and it puts our client
at ease.
Case Study #2 - The Trusting Wife
This was a case induced with drama; it was a sad case about a loving
wife whose husband cheats on her. It was about a few months back when Mrs.
Cheng, came to our office needing our service. The officer that
handled the case described her as a very secure and attractive woman
in her forties. She explained that for weeks her husband had been
returning home only in the wee hours of the morning regardless of
whether he has to go back to his office the following day.
In the initial stage she assumed that her husband had gone out
with his friends drinking through the night based on the fact that he
is the CEO of his company.
Mrs. Cheng told her friends about his late nights, and all the
responses were negative.
But never did she once think that her husband was having an affair.
Then one night, Mr. Cheng got home totally drunk and went directly
to bed, the wife was still well awake at this point but was not
suspicious of anything until her husband called out a name of a woman
in his drunken sleep. It was at this moment that Mrs. Cheng started
suspecting that her husband was either keeping a mistress or having an
affair.
Mrs. Cheng confronted her husband the following morning about the name
he called out in his sleep, and that confrontation ended up being Mrs.
Cheng coming to our office.
We gathered information of the client's husband's workplace and usual
hangouts and our field officers went out and did their job. Four days
of surveillance, the target now has gotten slightly suspicious of his
surroundings, but our surveillance team manages to gather enough
evidence that the target is in actual fact having an affair.
The target's lover, who was his colleague, was a resident in the Sengkang
estate and almost everyday after work, the target will send his lover to
her home and he will stay in her residence till late. This information
was collected and then shown and explained to our client, evidence
includes photographs, videos and even addresses.
When our client knew the truth, she actually broke down in tears in
front of the investigating officer in charge of this case but what we
found out later was even sadder to even imagine. Mrs. Cheng went to
the resident of her husband's lover and knocked onto her door (at this
time her husband was in his lover apartment) demanded to see the
other woman. When the door really did opened, she saw her husband
topless with his lover by the door with a shocked expression on his
face. Mrs. Cheng with tears in her eyes cried out to his lover
yelling: "Do not steal my husband from me!"
The drama ended when Mrs. Cheng's husband scolded his wife and yelling
at her to go home. What happened after that was unsure, but what we
know, is that we delivered what we were hired to do, and that is to
uncover the truth. All in all, our client is satisfied that we had
shown her proof that suspicions of her husband were true, thus making
this case another successful one.
Case Study #3 - A Foreign Affair
It is inevitable that men, once powerful or overly successful, tend to
spend his wealth on things that are utterly useless. More often than
not, older men would like to indulge in the thought of having a
mistress for himself and which better place to keep a mistress if not
Thailand.
He is a successful man with several F&B chains under his belt, a wife
and two young sons. Basically he has got everything a middle class guy
could only wish for. But he has a secret that nobody else should
especially his wife and sons.
Mrs. Lim was introduced to Tanglin Investigations by one of her close
friends. A few months ago, her husband has been traveling back and
forth from Bangkok freguently.
When asked by Mrs. Lim about his frequent travels, he explained to her
that he decided to expand his F&B outlet to Bangkok, Thailand. At that
point of time, Mrs. Lim did not really suspect of anything. But when
the trip got as frequent as two times a week, she confided in her
friends about her worries. While some of her friends gave good advices
other gave nasty comments and that prompted one of Mrs. Lim close
friends to hire a Private Investigator to check up on her husband.
From the information that Tanglin Investigations had gathered from
the client, the field officer then set out and kept tabs on the target.
The target travels to Bangkok on a weekly basis, and each
time before he goes to Thailand he will withdraw a certain amount of
cash and put it in an envelope. When he arrives in Bangkok, a woman
will then be at the airport to pick him up.
As it turns out, the car that the woman drove belongs to the target, and
the woman who drove the car was actually his mistress, and she is
Thai. The field officer taking the case took enough evidence to
convince the client that her husband was keeping a mistress in
Thailand. That was the end of the Private Investigators job, what
follows nobody actually knew. But still, it was considered a
successful case.
