The Strangest Cases Solved by LY Private Investigators
At LY Private Investigators, we’ve seen it all, from cases that range from the predictable to the downright bizarre. While most people assume private investigators only handle infidelity and missing persons, some of our cases have been straight out of a crime thriller. Here are some of the strangest cases solved by LY Private Investigators that prove reality is sometimes stranger than fiction.
1. The Husband Who “Disappeared”—But Never Left
A Nairobi woman contacted us, desperate to locate her missing husband who had ‘vanished’ while on a business trip. Months of searching led us to a shocking discovery—he was living two streets away under a new identity!
It turned out that he had faked his disappearance to escape massive gambling debts. He had grown a beard, changed his phone number, and even secured a new job. Ironically, he was caught because he kept walking past his former house, not realizing he was being watched!
2. The Haunted Office That Wasn’t Haunted at All
A company in Westlands called us in when their expensive office equipment started disappearing overnight, despite no signs of forced entry. Employees whispered about ghostly activities—lights flickering, mysterious noises, and unexplained shadows.
Our investigation uncovered something less supernatural but equally shocking: a former IT employee had stolen a master key before quitting. He would enter at night and steal electronics while setting up eerie distractions to make employees believe the office was haunted. His mistake? He left his phone on one night, which allowed us to trace his location inside the building.
3. The “Perfect” Online Girlfriend Who Never Existed
A businessman in Mombasa hired us to investigate his long distance girlfriend, whom he had met online. She claimed to be a UN worker stuck abroad and frequently asked for money to process her visa and return to Kenya.
After two years and over KES 5 million ($35,000) lost, we uncovered the truth. His ‘girlfriend’ was actually a scam syndicate operated by multiple fraudsters using fake photos, voice-changing apps, and social engineering tactics. It was an elaborate web of deceit that had fooled multiple victims.

4. The Car That Kept Disappearing at Night
A man in Karen suspected foul play when his car seemed to have extra mileage every morning, despite being parked safely overnight. Thinking he was imagining things, he contacted LY Private Investigators.
We installed GPS tracking and hidden cameras, revealing that a rogue parking attendant was using a duplicate key to rent out the car to joyriders at night. The case was cracked when the car was caught on CCTV speeding in a different county.

5. The Dog with a Double Life
A Kisumu woman was distraught when her dog kept disappearing every night, only to return in the morning. She suspected it was being stolen but somehow making its way back home.
A discreet investigation using a GPS tracker revealed the hilarious truth. The dog had a ‘second family’ down the street, where it was fed, pampered, and even given a bed to sleep in! The neighbor had no idea the dog belonged to someone else.
