DANIEL C. WESCOTT
Daniel C. Wescott serves as Director of Investigations for Locaters International, Inc., bringing more than a decade of leadership and hands‑on investigative experience to the agency. A former Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), he retired after a distinguished career and now oversees complex civil and criminal inquiries for a diverse client base.

As lead FBI Case Agent in a large child‑exploitation prosecution, he directed an investigation that resulted in the largest forfeiture in the history of the U.S. Department of Justice for a crimes‑against‑children case.
In private practice, Mr. Wescott has spent more than 15 years managing a wide array of civil investigations, including insurance defense inquiries, corporate due diligence, litigation support, in‑depth background investigations, child custody matters, and alimony reduction cases. He has led investigations involving employee theft and missing persons and is known for delivering precise, actionable results that help attorneys, corporations, and individuals make informed decisions.
Before joining the FBI, Mr. Wescott worked as a bank loan officer, providing him with practical insight into financial systems and lending practices that enhance his work on fraud and asset‑tracing assignments. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance and previously served four years on active duty in the United States Air Force as a Tactical Air Command and Control Specialist, experience that contributes to his disciplined, mission‑focused approach to every investigation.
