Investigators Involved

Within hours, Doria, president of Chicago-based The Security Professionals, Inc., helped organize a group to travel from Chicago to Memphis. Included were Dan Davis, chief executive officer at The Security Professionals, as well as Robert O'Neill, Clarence (Bubba) Glen and Fishman.

In Chicago, investigators Bruce Pempek (image seen above)  worked the online angle through the Lexis-Nexis connection at The Security Professionals' headquarters, while legal counsel Wayne Jakalski bridged the gap among police agencies in three states as well as Chicago and Memphis FBI operations.

"When we first arrived in Memphis," says Davis, "we searched the parking lot at Hillary's apartment building even before we checked into our hotel." The investigators introduced themselves to Memphis police, and began collecting information from Hillary's landlord and fellow grad students. They moved around the neighborhood, checking our neighbors, businesses, the library and residential and abandoned buildings.

"We were able to enlist the informal assistance of corporate security executives to track bank card use and the informal involvement of the Federal Bureau of investigation through our Chicago office connection, " Davis says. The investigators started tracing bank transactions including one that fateful Sunday afternoon at about 5:28 pm. That helped set the last time Hillary was seen. Farther along the tragic timeline, there were credit card charges in other states, indicating foul play.

But before that evidence was unearthed, the McPikes contacted and got University of Memphis officials and students to help out by creating and distributing "missing person" posters and flyers.
