March–April 2025
A Period of Intense Inquiry and Progress
This spring, the HMI team hit the ground running—balancing a high volume of client work with breakthroughs in cold-case investigation.
High-Volume Background Checks
Harris Mountain Investigations managed a substantial series of background checks for a major client—investigating dozens of individuals with precision and confidentiality. Our meticulous efforts ensured reliable, court-ready results across employment and due‑diligence contexts.
Private Investigations for the Missing
We continued our dedicated efforts with Private Investigations for the Missing, extending our reach into compassionate and confidential missing persons work. This includes case coordination, witness follow-up, field canvassing, and resource networking.
New Leads in the Brianna Maitland Case
Importantly, HMI received and followed up on new information surrounding the disappearance of Brianna Maitland (missing since 2004). Working in cooperation with Vermont State Police and families, our team:
- Reviewed and evaluated several fresh tips.
- Deployed field resources to corroborate or refute potential sightings.
- Coordinated forensic follow-up as needed.
Our ongoing investigation aligns with HMI’s involvement in high-stakes, long-term cases like Brianna’s.
What This Means for Our Clients & Community
