Memorial Day is a time of remembrance, reflection, and celebration. While families across the country gather for cookouts, beach trips, and moments of joy, there’s an undercurrent that few notice — the secrets that surface when routines are disrupted. For Root Investigations, this long weekend isn’t just about leisure; it’s a critical window where concealed truths often rise to the surface.
As people embrace the freedom of a three-day weekend, behaviors change. This includes everything from unexpected getaways to suspicious absences from family gatherings. The combination of relaxed schedules and increased social activities often leads to a spike in investigations.
Root Investigations has noted a consistent pattern: when people let their guard down, the truth has a way of slipping out.
Is your partner acting distant?
Holiday weekends like Memorial Day are notorious for sparking suspicions of infidelity in relationships. A spouse heading off for a solo vacation, suddenly “working late,” or behaving aloof during family events? These can be red flags.
Our private investigators discreetly conduct surveillance to determine the truth. With increased travel and gatherings, cheaters often slip up — and that’s when we step in. By using state-of-the-art equipment and seasoned fieldwork, we document behavior without breaching privacy laws or drawing attention.
Are custody agreements being ignored this weekend?
Memorial Day often highlights issues in shared parenting. At Root Investigations, we help parents who suspect violations of custody orders during holiday handoffs. Whether a parent is failing to return a child on time, allowing unsupervised visits, or exposing them to dangerous environments, we gather the evidence needed to support legal claims.
We understand the nuances of family court and work hand-in-hand with your legal team to present clear, admissible documentation of what is uncovered by our child custody investigators.
New summer love on the horizon? Make sure it’s real.
Memorial Day isn’t just about barbecues and parades — it often marks the beginning of summer romances. With online dating, blind meetups, and introductions from friends, there’s a growing need for verification.
Root Investigations offers background checks to ensure the person you’re meeting is truly who they say they are. Criminal history, financial status, aliases, and more can be discreetly verified — providing peace of mind during a vulnerable moment.
Does your employee claim injury — yet they’re jet skiing this weekend?
The holiday offers the perfect cover for fraudulent activity. Some individuals exaggerate or fake injuries to extend time off, collect disability benefits, or pursue settlements. Yet when they think no one is watching, they engage in physically demanding activities.
Root Investigations specializes in uncovering insurance and workers comp fraud. Whether it’s hauling coolers, hopping on boats, or hiking through Fire Island trails — we gather hard evidence that insurance providers and attorneys rely on.
Memorial Day Weekend should honor the brave and the fallen. But as people celebrate, they sometimes forget this sacred foundation — instead hiding truths in the guise of freedom and fun.
At Root Investigations, we take pride in restoring clarity. Whether you suspect infidelity, worry about your child’s welfare, or fear financial deception, you are not alone. If something feels off this holiday, trust your gut — and let us help you uncover the truth.
Can private investigators operate during public holidays like Memorial Day?
Yes, in fact, it’s one of our busiest periods. Activities that people hide throughout the year often surface on long weekends.
How discreet is the surveillance conducted by Root Investigations?
We use unmarked vehicles, disguised tech, and covert techniques. Our goal is to observe without being seen or disrupting the subject.
Are background checks legal for personal relationships?
Yes, as long as they’re conducted for legitimate personal safety reasons. We adhere to FCRA guidelines and protect our clients’ confidentiality.
Can you use footage of custody violations in court?
Absolutely. Our documentation is gathered lawfully and is admissible in family court.
Do you serve only New York or other locations too?
While based in the NY metro area, we have a wide network and partnerships that enable investigations across state lines.
What’s the turnaround time for an infidelity investigation?
It depends on the specifics, but many clients receive preliminary findings within 72 hours post-holiday.
We are a boutique private investigation agency serving New York City and Long Island with professional private investigation services.
We get to the root of the problem.
