What drama did you uncover when you hired a private investigator?

My mother's dad walked out on my mum, my aunt, and my grandmother when my mum was just five.

A few years later, my grandmother died of a grand mal seizure.

Mum was taken in by her grandparents, but she always wondered why her dad left and what became of him.

In her 40s, she saved up a bit and hired a

P.I. to track him down. Turns out he moved over time from Pittsburgh to California, where he wound

up in prison for armed robbery and some other violent crimes. He died in San Quentin penitentiary.

I think Mum got a lot of closure for that. She was able to see that life would have most likely

been even worse for he had stayed. At least living with her grandparents, she was loved and raised

to fulfil her potential. My grandmother's first boyfriend after my grandfather died said he was

a retired cop and a veteran. They enjoyed dancing to country music together and bought a new car

in her name, though,

even though she can't drive anymore. My uncles hired a PI. Turns out that old jerk had a habit

of shacking up with widows and bleeding them dry. The boyfriend, not the PI. My sister,

who's in her mid-30s now, is adopted and hired a PI to find her estranged biological

father. They came back saying that not only was he still alive and nearby, but he had a daughter,

meaning she had a biological sibling. Further digging from the PI uncovered that they

weren't just similar ages either. They were exactly the same age. The evidence suggested that

my sister had a twin and her birth

father had taken the twin and vanished. Huge, life-changing news. Eventually, through more

incredible detective work, the PI realized that the daughter was actually just my sister.

There was no other sibling, and they'd just been investigating my sister the whole time
