How they look for parents, heirs and identify marriage swindlers: revelations of a private detective.

The private detective told “CARAVAN” about the complicated cases and explained why it is necessary to check the lovers.


Being a detective, a psychologist, a historian, a generalist and just a caring person - detectives often have to play these roles. About how they helped restore Shezhire, found relatives abroad and figured out swindlers, "CARAVANU" told Chairman of the NGO “Security Experts“ Kalkan ”Rustam MIRZABAYEV ...
Other people's fates are our deeds
A client, a former citizen of Kazakhstan, approached a private detective in Germany with a request to help find her ex-spouse. They divorced him more than 20 years ago - almost immediately after the birth of their daughter. Now the ex-spouse's permission was needed to change the name of the joint daughter, who was going to get married. Such laws are in vaterland.
- Repeated attempts to find the contacts of her ex-husband or his relatives herself, to enter into correspondence with government agencies did not give positive results, then she turned to a private detective, who, in turn, contacted me, - Rustam Mirzabaev begins his story.
After receiving the apostilled power of attorney from the client, the detectives started searching: they started from the place of birth and registration of the wanted man, established a couple of addresses of his relatives in the regional center of the neighboring region and went on a business trip.
- On the spot, we managed to talk with the family of the man. It turned out that he had not been seen in the village for a long time - he abused alcohol and practically got bogged down. The wanted person was seen in the neighboring village, where his distant relative lived. This was the only clue, so we went to that village and found out that the poor fellow had died, - continues the interlocutor of "KARAVAN".
They told a German colleague who, after talking with lawyers, suggested changing the task and getting a copy of the death certificate, apostilled and sent to Germany.
- We exhaled - what could be easier, and went to the district office of Rags. Imagine our surprise when it turned out that fact of death men did not register at any address! There was a rush to the police stations and other authorities.
We returned to a relative, who supposedly was the last to see a man, with the question: how did this happen? And she told the story: the man really slipped to the bottom. One winter day, he froze to death on the street.
Since he had no loved ones and no one would be looking for him, as everyone thought, the man was quietly buried in the village cemetery. Without formalities, without inviting government officials, without registering the fact of death.
And in distant Europe, the daughter of the deceased is getting married, and in order to change the surname, the authorities require either the father's permission or a certificate of his death. And now, years later, we - strangers who, by the will of fate, were involved in this story, had to put an end to it.
We turned to the necessary authorities, we conducted a full collection of evidence with government officials and finally legalized the death of a man, received a legal death certificate and sent it to Germany, - a private detective shares with us the end of the story.
Times a connecting thread
Another case in the case of Rustam Mirzabaev is also associated with Germany, and its origins go back to the distant past.
2018 year. In one of the cities of the Federal Republic of Germany, 80-year-old M. dies. A man who lived alone and had no direct relatives left an inheritance.
- The lawyers connected a detective to the search for heirs - my friend Alex. The initial check established that Mr. M. was a native of the Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of the Volga Germans, born in 1938, in September 1941 he was relocated to the Karaganda region of the Kazakh SSR - without the right to travel. The last place of his residence in Kazakhstan - the village of Chernoretsk of the Pavlodar region, from where in 1993 he left for permanent residence in Germany, - Rustam devotes us to the details of the case.
Alex called his Kazakh counterpart and honestly admitted that he had low hopes for solving this problem. The question was complicated by the fact that the copies of the collected documents indicated different surnames of the man: in one case it began with the letter “P”, in the birth certificate - with “B”. In other documents it was indicated with one "n", in others - with a double. In this situation, the search had to be carried out using at least four different surnames.
- I decided to get down to business. They proceeded from simple logic: at the time of the resettlement, the boy was about 3 years old, therefore, accompanying adults had to be with him: parents or uncles-aunts, older brothers, sisters.
Our primary plan consisted of 7-8 points, which included search activities in two regions of Kazakhstan: the place of settlement in 1941 is the Karaganda region, and the last known place of residence is the Pavlodar region.
Before leaving there, we studied the archives of the power structures, prosecutors, defense departments, Rags, and turned to cultural centers of ethnic Germans. At the same time, they searched through electronic archives, lists of Germans resettled in 1941, - says Rustam.
The first stage of the search failed: from the official responses received, it followed that there were about 1,500 people with the same surname in the indicated regions, information about M. in none of the four alleged variants of surnames and his parents was found, and in general, these persons were not documented in Kazakhstan. Information about the card of the migrant M. was also not found anywhere.

- The approach to the answers of some executives of state bodies was depressing - formalism was clearly felt in them. The situation was aggravated by COVID-19, the state of emergency and quarantine restrictions, the transition to remote control. The work has stopped. At some point, the thought arose that further searches for heirs were impossible, and they needed to be turned off, ”the detective confesses.
The forced pause in work gave the specialists time to think about further actions. And Alex, a detective with many years of experience, advised not to despair - anything can happen.
“After a scrupulous study of historical documents, we were completely imbued with the fate of one of tens of thousands of people who, by the will of politicians and an evil fate, ended up in a foreign land, which became his homeland. We wanted to do good - no matter how pathetic it sounded - in memory of those who are no longer among us, says Mirzabaev. - And the second stage of our search was crowned with success! We managed to find the data of everyone who arrived with the three-year-old M. in 1941 in Kazakhstan. It turned out that there was confusion during the execution of the IDPs' documents, and our M. was initially resettled with his family and cousins to the Pavlodar region, where he lived until he left for Germany. So, at first glance, we “plowed” the Karaganda region in vain. But nothing in such matters is in vain ...
And most importantly, we found data on M.'s past marriage, ex-wife, 2 sons, 2 grandchildren and daughter-in-law. And they transferred them to Germany. Alex established the place of residence of direct relatives on the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany. As it turned out, they all went there at different times for permanent residence, - tells the finale of the amazing story of the detective.
