24 of the Wildest Things People Found Out by Hiring a Private Investigator

Every now and then, private investigators get cases that are almost too bizarre to be believed. For instance, one Redditor told the story of the time their grandfather hired a P.I. to track their grandmother. While the investigator was spying on her, another investigator came up to his car and asked, “What are you doing here?” As it turned out, the grandmother was being investigated by the DEA for drug dealing. The Redditor goes on to say that their entire family is convinced that the whole drug debacle is “the reason why the old family barn burned down,” noting that this isn’t even the craziest story they’ve been told about good ol’ gran. 

While we hope they post more stories about their scheming matriarch, here are more wild tales from private investigators, their targets or the people who hired them — including a guy with more than the average amount of families.
