Does anyone know of a private investigator in Nicaragua? I remember seeing an advertisement for one once but it's been over a year. Any help would be appreciated.

Not all investigators will have the same access to the same information (very much unlike North America). Who you need might depend on the type of work needed. For example, "missing" persons, background checks, analysis of employees, info on a potential business associate, divorce things, gov/police corruption data, etc. Depending on what you need it can be remarkably difficult to locate the right person as you often need someone with lofty connections inside and outside of government working for a pretty average salary, and people that connected can often make more money doing other things.

thank you for your input. what I need is pretty basic. it's more along the lines of personal background and marital trust issues. unfortunate but true.

Ask around

If you're in Jinotepe, you probably don't even need a PI - just ask around. Everyone seems to know everybody else's business there - chismiando is the local pastime! And for good reason, there's a lot to talk about. If you need a lawyer, I can highly recommend a local - Chelvin Matus - who did good work for me; he may also be able to recommend a PI. Buene suerte!

Certainly not unique to Jinotepe. It is pretty amazing how quickly everyone knows about you in Esteli as well. I think it is primarily caused by lack of televisions—if you don't have a TV to watch all day you have to create your own soap operas.

When I moved into the house I bought in Esteli I was living with two daughters (15 and 17) of a friend. I am sure I gave them a lot to talk about. Now, being in Tisey, I have discovered that unlike Esteli where everyone knew my dog, here everyone knows me. That is, even if they don't know me.

For example, when Paul Tiffer came up here he just asked people (and we are talking about people five kilometers away) where "the Gringo" lived. Everyone could give him directions. As he made it, I guess they were accurate.

When I was down on the Rio San Juan, everyone in San Carlos apparently knew me - even though I'd spent a total of maybe 10-12 days in the town, and the rest of the time at a remote site >3 hours downriver. Near the end of my time there, I ran into a German anthropologist who had worked along the river several years previously, and had just returned for a few days' visit. Apparently, wherever she went, everyone was telling her about "la gringita de Bartola" (hence my handle) - mostly people whom I'd never even met! When I returned 3 months later, people I only vaguely recognized in passing would come up and ask where I'd been, etc. I guess we really stand out!
