Drug Abuse Among Adolescents – a Case for Kurtz Detective Agency Frankfurt

A case that was also very moving for us was recently brought to a happy conclusion by the detectives of Kurtz Private Detective Agency Frankfurt, reuniting a daughter with her mother. Hannelore K. had not heard from her daughter Maike (18) for more than five days. Maike had apparently left the shared flat in Frankfurt’s Ostend district deliberately and had not contacted her mother since; she also did not answer her mobile phone. All she left behind was a short note: “I’m gone, don’t worry.” She had taken a few belongings with her, and since she was of legal age and had apparently left of her own accord, the police were unable to intervene. Hannelore K. therefore decided to approach the private detectives of Kurtz Detective Agency Frankfurt in order to find out where Maike was staying, using the few tenuous clues available. Mrs K. was, of course, explicitly informed by our Frankfurt investigators that we would only be permitted to disclose Maike’s whereabouts if Maike were staying there involuntarily and/or if there were imminent danger and/or if Maike consented to the forwarding of this information.

Hannelore K. feared the worst: Maike had long been associating with the drug scene around Frankfurt’s main railway station, and her mother now suspected that she might be drugged and held in some brothel. Our Frankfurt investigators promised to do everything in their power to locate Maike, fully aware that the clues were extremely sparse: only the first name of Maike’s boyfriend and the name of a bar in the station district where the two had often spent time in the past were known. The IHK-certified detectives of Kurtz Detective Agency Frankfurt began their investigation as usual online, searching for the bar where Maike and her boyfriend were said to be known. However, the bar had no online presence and was unknown even to the private detectives of Kurtz Detective Agency Frankfurt, despite their excellent local knowledge. This is where contacts within the Frankfurt scene proved invaluable: yes, the bar was known, a source who wished to remain anonymous revealed; he had managed to buy drugs there several times without interference from the public order office or even the police – naturally only cannabis, as he assured our Frankfurt private investigators. In return, our investigators reassured him that we were not interested in his drug use, but rather in the whereabouts of Maike K., and he promised to lead our Frankfurt private investigators to the bar in question in exchange for a small fee.

Fortunately, the venue turned out to be little more than a counter with two tables in a side street – apparently under the almost reassuring ownership of a middle-aged woman. Had the establishment been run by well-known organised gangs whose activities extend beyond serving alcohol, even a Frankfurt detective who has seen a lot would quickly have felt uneasy, one of our private investigators later remarked with a smile. The clientele of the bar consisted mainly of shady characters who were clearly not only drunk and made no secret of their unwillingness to have anything to do with a “snout”. Here too, a big thank you is due to the good contact of Kurtz Private Detective Agency Frankfurt, as he was able to mediate – albeit, of course, only in return for appropriate compensation. After questioning several guests, one was able to recall, with the help of a photo of Maike, having seen the girl at the same place just the day before, and another recognised the boyfriend’s name and was able to give a description, confirming that he was also a frequent visitor.

 

With nothing more than these scant yet promising pieces of information, our Frankfurt detectives decided to observe the bar first, hoping that Maike or at least her boyfriend would appear soon. Their hopes were fulfilled, making the hours of uneventful waiting in the car worthwhile: the very next evening, a young man entered the bar who matched the description of the boyfriend exactly. With great sensitivity, in order not to provoke unnecessary aggression, the private investigators of Kurtz Detective Agency Frankfurt approached the target person, who indeed turned out to be the boyfriend. Although he appeared to be completely high, he proved, contrary to expectations, not to be a bad person at all, and yes, Maike was staying with him of her own free will but did not want to return to her mother, which was her right. It took considerable persuasion by our investigators to convince Maike’s boyfriend to at least allow us to speak to Maike, but in the end he did agree, making it clear that the decision would be Maike’s.

The detectives of Kurtz Detective Agency Frankfurt were taken to the flat, or rather the accommodation, where Maike was staying. Fortunately, the girl appeared to be in good health, although she was clearly under the influence of drugs, but at least still seemingly reasonably lucid. The room smelled strongly of marijuana; fortunately, there were no signs of the use of harder drugs.

 

Maike was surprised to learn that her mother had apparently moved heaven and earth to find her, as she had assumed that she was more or less indifferent to her. In a long conversation, our Frankfurt detectives were able to convince Maike that this was by no means the case and that she was sorely missed at home. As had already emerged in discussions with the client, repeated arguments and disputes had arisen between mother and daughter, making living together increasingly difficult. Fortunately, Maike was nevertheless persuaded to at least seek a conversation with her mother on neutral ground, with the investigators of Kurtz Detective Agency Frankfurt promising to mediate. However, she was adamant that she would not come along directly, so despite her comparatively stable condition, our detectives were unable, with heavy hearts, to bring Maike back to her mother straight away. The mother was, however, informed immediately and briefed on the situation, including the fact that, according to Maike, the only way to win her back would be a meeting involving a thorough and honest discussion.

Even we, as hardened detectives from Frankfurt, are deeply moved and delighted that the discussion not only took place through our mediation, but was also very successful: Maike has since moved back in with her mother, although the two certainly had a great deal to resolve and discuss that even we cannot help with, particularly Maike’s drug use. We at Kurtz Detective Agency Frankfurt are therefore all very pleased that the case had such a positive outcome and wish Hannelore K. and her daughter Maike all the very best from the bottom of our hearts.

To safeguard discretion and the personal rights of clients and target persons, all names and locations in this case report have been altered beyond recognition.
