Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Robin and keep on kiss ninety seven three now
if you've just joined us, we spoke to Tammy who
needed our help.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
So basically, my twin brother and I were read up
by our grandparents, and primarily my mum allowed that to happen.
Then she went on to have her own life, I'll
call it, and had two more children. We've never ever
known our biological father, and it's been sitting with both
my twin brother and myself our entire life. Basically, so
(00:29):
mum has never wanted us to find out who it was,
but she did let the name slip a few years ago.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
And so all you've got to go by is his name.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Was this in Brisbane?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
No?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
This is in New South Wales in a country town.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Okay, if you're ringing us you want some help.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I'd really like to be able to actually put the
name to a faith. And I mean I don't really
want anything from him except I know he knows of us.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
I mean we have access to a PI. You want
us to find your dad?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I'd like it, yes, so p I.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Dave from Ostrace Investigations is with us in the studio.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Finally we get to see you, Dave well, thank you everyone.
Thanks having me in because.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
We've spoken to you many times. You helped us out
a couple of time with our cat fishing stories, and
you've heard Tammy's story.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
In full and what she's looking for. Do you think
you'll be able to help us with this, Yeah, I
believe so.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
I think we can do some inquiries, a bit of
investigation from the names that she's provided, So that's always
a good starting. We'll run our inquiries from that name
and see how things turn out.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
I mean, you can do that from here, because she
did say there was a couple of really telling things.
Small country town, so that's got to reduce the ability
to find someone or make it easier.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Actually, well, it makes it easier. I guess.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
If she has got a name, we run the name
by our search data bases. The more common name makes
it extremely difficult. If it's a more obscure name or
not a reasonably common name, that makes it a lot
easier for us, especially if it is in a country
town and we've got an age approximation, and so that's
always an advantage for us.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Does the fact that Tammy's a twin help a lot?
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Not really, As I said, we'll do the search is
based on the information that we have of the name
of this particular gentleman. So that's where we'll focus on
investigation rather than on her.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Oh well, okay, because keep it up with speculating.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
We're going.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Okay, so we know it was in a small country
town and use that well, you know it's twins.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Yeah, I didn't even think about the name.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
No, So when you're looking for people for parents that
have never met, is that a big part of your
job as PI?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah, it is.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
I mean, it's certainly an aspect of the work that
I do. The public certainly want to know some of
those answers of questions that they've got one answered. So
that is a large part of our private work. Certainly,
not the corporate work, but it's a lot of the
private work that we get done.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Okay, let's say it's a sibling that you've never met.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Sweeping generalization, but generally, is it a good result? Is
it a happy result that someone's happy to see them
and meet them, or what's the result.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Normally it's very mixed, I guess.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
I mean, some people will receive from someone knocking on
their doorstep as a p positive others may not. It's
a very big shock to the system, I guess, after
twenty thirty fifty years whatever it is when when somebody
knocks and announcers you know that they're here to see
their father or their mother they've never seen before.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
So look, it's very much a mixed reaction. And what's
the weirdest one you've ever done? You put me on
the spot here.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I know you would have done some really curly ones.
I mean, I thought the Italian Stadion and you door
knocking on some young bloke who was trying to catfish
me with exciting but I reckon that's some far worse ones.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I guess.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
One that really surprised me more recently was we were
engaged by a lady who wanted to check on her husband,
who she thought may have been having an affair. As
they say, so, we've engaged some surveillance on this particular gentleman,
and she was right. He was having an affair. However
it wasn't with the female, it was with another male.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Wow, Oh, that would be shocking.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
I mean having an affair is shocking enough, yes, but
finding out in that space I think would be really tough.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
How'd she go, it was uncomfortable put it that way.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
You have photos, Yeah, so when you were getting those photos,
you break it differently when you tell her about it.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Not really, our job is to get information and present
that to the to the client. What that is we
can't control. It's the facts and the facts of the facts.
So unfortunately these facts weren't pretty. I guess if that's
what that's what she expecting.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
So do you know what happened?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I don't know. I don't really follow up in that regard.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Needless to say, she was not very impressed, so I
can imagine what the end result was.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
That's a tough that's a tough one.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
What about Has there been a time when someone said
I'm sure he's cheating, for example, and you go and
investigate and it's just not happening.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
It's volunteer Yeah, yeah, Look, there's not a lot of that.
I guess at the time they're generally right.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Yeah, by the time people come to us, they've usually
got some sort of intuition. Look, this certainly a number
of times when we have done this type of work
and there's been nowhere outcome. Look, whether that was just
bad timing or it wasn't happening. Who knows, But you've
got to give people the benefit of the doubt until
you can prove otherwise.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Really, all right, so you reckon. You've got enough to
go on with what team has given.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Us so far.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Well, we've got to start anyway. Okay, that's all we need.
So we'll go and do our thing and report back.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Yeah, give you a couple of days. Ye, a couple
of days, as they
Speaker 5 (05:23):
Say, yeah, give us that and we'll come back to you.
